Oh, that blue wall was a giant mistake. It looks terrible. I’ve spent a lot of the week painting, and I’m happy that I finally extended the lime green in the dinette area (kitchen nook?) so that it goes all the way around the room. It used to just go along one wall that wasn’t [...]

Tracy and I are not together anymore. I’ve told most of my family, so now I’m sharing it with you, dear anonymous readers (some of which are likely family, or so I think). This is not a sudden move. This is not even close to a sudden move. We’ve been dealing with it for years [...]

The Worst Thing To Happen To Anyone, Ever
August 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Ongoing Projects, What I Did Last Weekend
I don’t know what I did to deserve a bitchslap from karma, but clearly I’m getting one, and I must deserve it. I haven’t even paid for the new air conditioner yet, and already a second disaster has befallen… one that made the earlier problem (lack of a/c on the only hot weekend in August) [...]

I’m Pretty Awesome
August 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Movies, Photography, What I Did Last Weekend
After a few weeks of not doing much around the house, I had a pretty productive weekend followed by another night of work yesterday.

I’m Cool
August 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Movies, Pointless Updates, What I Did Last Weekend
Oh, the ironies of life. Last week, we had perfectly lovely weather but the forecast was for hot, hot weather during the weekend. So when did my air conditioner break? Thursday night! All weekend: hot weather, no air conditioner. I bought one fan and borrowed three more, then spent as much time out of the [...]

It’s Too Hot For My Own Incompetence
August 7th, 2009 · No Comments · In Summary
My air conditioner died! And it’s going to be a hot, humid weekend! I could not be more excited. Poor Martha-dog can’t stand the heat because she’s part Chow-Chow. Chows are called something different in Chinese, something that translates to Furry Lion Dog. That is my new nickname for her. (She has a lot of [...]
