It's so GOOD to have my internet service working again. Apparently there was a problem with the cable running into my apartment. I took off work to wait around for the Adelphia guy to come and fix it. And it's working now!! Life is good.
So... yeah... the cable guy left at about 3:30, I fiddled around for a while... Hold on a sec...
Had to kill a spider there...
So, after the cable guy left, I decided to go down to what I've come to call Futon Row... It's a stretch of Lankerscum that's mostly discount furnature stores. The first store I went into the guy (after telling me that they no longer make spring futon matresses in Full size) was going to give me a SWEET deal on a much better mattress than the thing that's wearing out in the living room. So I went out to transfer money into my checking account to pay the man... But when I got back he wasn't there and the guy who was left knew nothing about the pricing I was offered.
So fine... I walked across the street, into a much better store... and put a down payment on exactly what I was looking for (turns out the first guy lied). So come Sunday, in some manner or another, I will have a new matress for my sofa, on which to recooperate from Saturday's Blogathon...
I then went up to Ikea to look for a new cushion for a chair donated to my apartment by my parents... Only to find out that the cushions alone cost almost $100.00... So I went to Barnes and Noble and spent less than half that on books.. When did so many people start writing romance novels involving vampires? This will not, in any way improve my taste in men...
But I mentioned Saturday, so I should definately plug Saturday's event...
Esowolf, Lils, Stitch and myself will be participating in Project Blog this year (The ACTUAL Blogathon having been postponed until next year...
This year all donations we collect will go to the Wildlife Waystation in Angeles Crest Forest.
We will be writing a round robin Harry Potter fan fic that will be added to every hour, on the hour.
If you guys are interested in keeping an eye on our site or donating (we've only gotten one sponsor so far... ). Everyone who sponsors us will get the opportunity to request we add one person/item/action to the tale as it unfolds.
We will be blogging for 24 hours straight again this year... And if you think WE'RE all crazy... consider that not only is Esowolf participating in the group blog, she's doing her own AND monitoring!!!
Now I know ya'll who read this are about as poor as I am but any donations you can spare are greatly appreciated... the group blog only has one sponsor so far... me... :(
I have two out of the three sections of my new Food Portfolio up. I'm still working on the last section. Right now, they're only pictures. I'll be adding captions eventually...
Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day!! Everyone get to your local comic book stores!!
BTW: If anyone is interested in a Palm Pilot, check out my new entry on Ebay!
I just realized that with all the work I've been putting into Versemix and graphics and shit, I've completely neglected The Tower of Magic, which used to be my main home page. Well, no more! I've finally replaced all graphic sets (with the exception of one that was a gift) with sets created by yours truly. I'm starting to add herb and stone lore that I've been meaning to set up for the longest time. And I've even entered The Tower in a competition again. Okay so it's not a big major competition like the site fights or anything... it's White Witche's Top 100 and I'm not planning on doing all that much campaigning for it because I just don't have the time. However... if you get a chance and you really like me, please don't forget to go vote.
::Yawn:: Tired... well, not really... For some god awful reason I woke up at six this morning. But if I didn't know that I had to be somewhere by noon, I'd be opting to spend the entire day in bed. Unfortunately... I have a comic book store to run today, so a day in bed is out. A day off is out. Damn... I have this feeling that I'm probably going to burn out eventually. But until I get some heafty bonuses and/or a big raise at work, I can't afford it. Although, I'm probably going to see about taking a day off again soon...
Damn... cold... finger's frozen stiff... can't type anymore... And I've got to go call the parental unit and wish them a happy anniversary.... Lates!
I've decided to take another stab at eBay and put a bunch of my old Star Trek Christmas ornaments up for sale. Will they sell? Who knows. But if your interested, you can check out these items here.
Ahh.... Saturday... a day to sleep in. At least until I remembered that sleeping on the east side of the building leaves one subject to evil early-morning sun. I'll probably wind up in my bedroom shortly.
