like stonehenge, but with straw and no midgets

Spent the weekend at the Sutter Creek Celtic New Year Festival, which is lot like a ren faire but with absolutely no renaissance and more silly pagans. We peeked into the lives of vendors and sold Rinconada figurines, and made a decent profit, which was actually fun. It’s been a while since I worked retail [...]

Still don’t have a Halloween costume for your lil’ ones? Here’s some quick and easy ideas!
Hee.

from bad to verse

The transmission on my car has decided that, after 4 years, it needs a full re-build. Don’t ask me what the symptoms are, or if I’m really sure it’s the transmission. In fact, let’s not talk anymore about the inside of my car, because I don’t understand it at all and I’ve had the same [...]

I’m tired, is all. I just want to keep sleeping. Every morning I wake up and think, wouldn’t it be great if I could just stay in bed, asleep, and not have to do anything? Couldn’t I just hover in limbo for a while? That’d be nice.

I bought rechargable batteries, and a charger. Now I just need to find the wires to hook up the camera to the laptop. Shit, where did I [...]

fuck

Christopher Reeve died.

good news bad news

Good news: My laptop works! After sitting around for a year, I plugged it in and it appears to be working. Yay!
Bad news: Explorer is a bitch! It keeps insisting I have ActiveX disabled, which I DON’T, and won’t let me check my gmail. WTF, mate?
