Tidbits

A couple of totally unrelated things I just wanted to throw out there for the masses while I wait for the last five delurkers to show their faces so I can post the Very Special Entry. 1. If you have set your clock radio as your alarm, and you have it set to wake you … Continue reading Tidbits

delurking redux

Babies, you’re far too good to me! Thirty-five of you have managed to delurk and say hello in just one day! I’m hoping the other 15 delurkers I’m looking for can manage to comment soon (either on this entry or the previous one), because I’ve got a very special entry all ready to go for … Continue reading delurking redux

delurking week

So it’s delurking week. This means, COMMENT! Say hi if you read this. I promise I don’t bite! Now I don’t expect something for nothing, so let’s say if I can get… 50 individual commentors to say hello on this entry, I’ll post something very special for all y’all. How’s that sound? Ok now, hop … Continue reading delurking week

She’s the Man

Seems this whole “living alone” thing has addled my brain. Instead of doing what I normally do, except alone, I’ve turned into a total bachelor. Not bachelorette… bachelor. A list of things I have done, that I am not proud of, so far this month: 1. Made Kraft Dinner with cut up hot dogs and … Continue reading She’s the Man

Year in Review

What did you do in 2005 that you’d never done before? I acquired this wee domain early in 2005 – I’d never owned one of my very own before. I also learned how to Row this year. Other than that, I spent a lot of the year rediscovering some passions I hadn’t been spending enough … Continue reading Year in Review

Pre-Emptive Strike

Courtesy of the fabulous Ms. Raspberry. I may send out a few of these once I regain consciousness on the other side of New Year’s: ———————————————- Dear Mr. / Mrs. ___________ I am writing to apologize for my ________ behaviour the other night, and i hope that despite everything, you can find it in your … Continue reading Pre-Emptive Strike

Reason #987134

Why I need to be rid of my damn roommate. I just got out of the shower (yes, at 2:48pm.. it’s vacation!). I am covered in lotion that is absorbing. I am thirsty. I can either get my robe all sticky and gooey with lotion remnants, and go get some water, or sit here and … Continue reading Reason #987134

Tabulated Results

Thanks to everyone who commented on the last entry. It seems clear that Ray should indeed foot the entire bill for refinishing the room. So I had a painter in for an estimate today. The verdict: $200. Coincidentally, the exact amount of Ray’s deposit. How serendipitous. The painter didn’t even know beforehand! So now Ray … Continue reading Tabulated Results

Vote!

I just informed Ray that he’s going to have to pay for the refinishing of his room. He’s obviously not pleased about it. (Reminder of the state of Ray’s walls here.) I’ve yet to get a painter in for an estimate, but I’ve told Ray that the cost of filling the holes and painting the … Continue reading Vote!
