I love it when it rains in the morning. :D I like waking up to a storm much better than sunshine.

I FIXED IT I FIXED IT

Restarting my computer and having my old keyboard work is awesome, although this thing is LOUD AS HELL. XD At least now I can type coherently, and the keyboard recognizes the letter A. And I can type C without typing X. And my G key does not type `. ::dies.::

I'm still getting used to typing on a non-ergonomic keyboard, but a working keyboard beats no keyboard at all!

Also, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to all of you. I am doing nothing to celebrate it; I'm wearing jeans and a black teeshirt, but a lot of my clothes are black. I have a pretty okay track record with V-day, though unfortunately my Valentine is in GA. She should be pleased to note (and will accept this as an indication of my consummate nerdery) that I spent roughly 15 minutes picking out a card for her.

One of the things I like most about the new year is the fact that a huge expanse of days yawns out before you -- it's a little like looking over the edge of a cliff. There's that inexplicable urge to just leap off into the void; if you're anything like me sometimes you really have to stop yourself from doing it. This year, though, I think I'm going to leap off feet-first and see where that takes me. There is so much to look forward to in 2008, without the burden of eleven or twelve months of the year behind you, and though there is always the thought that there could be another destructive hurricane season, or that a loved one could die, those things can always happen at any time. I'm choosing to look past all that and feel good about this new year.

I hope it's a good one for everyone. :D

This weather seriously needs to stop yo-yoing up and down from the 80s to the 50s or 60s. My sinuses would be very grateful if it levelled out. :(

This week has been the longest week ever.

In trying to make my bed, I broke my ceiling fan. I hate being tall (for the record I'm 5'11").

The icon sums it up perfectly.

Let's hope Eric can use his leet ceiling fan skills to fix it.

An Open Letter to (Some of) the Patrons of Mimi Maternity #67:

KEEP YOUR GODDAMNED LEGS SHUT. Is it really that hard to put on a condom, invest in birth control, or just say "no?" Should I give you some twine to tie you off above the knee? I think that after five toddlers and pregnant with your sixth, it'd sink in that a) you REALLY shouldn't be having all these kids if you can't adequately provide for them (ie., shoes) and b) there is such a thing as too much sex. It's cute that their names all start with D, and I'm sure they're lovely children and will amount to a great deal in life, but for the sake of all that is holy please please please stop them from destroying my store, and please--.. the next time someone asks you what's goin on between them thighs, have the decency to say "nothing."

Thank you for your continued (ha!) patronage,
~triple_phoenix.
