What fun new things are going on with you? →[More:]
Me? Oh, well, i'm in the middle of a lovely game of multidepartment phone tag as i just found out late Friday all cable serivces are being yanked from the building Tomorrow. Good bye, phone, telly and internet! And the cable head office seems to think this might involve fees for me! How darling!
Life is full of adventure.

And you?

That pack of cigs i had in the freezer has been liberated just so i can be extra joltingly aware of what's going as it happens.

*wondering about what alternate internet provider options i'll be allowed*

Fun! Drama! Adventure!

A friend's daughter from Fairbanks is on her way home from Phoenix and had an awful 7 hour layover in Anchorage so I offered to let her sleep at my place. With 4.5 hours of sleep, I'm up before my alarm and killing time before I have to wake her up so I can run her back to the airport. My dog is unhappy with me being awake at this hour and is snoring in my lap.

I expect a big strong mocha and a lunchtime nap to get me through today.

i got up at 4am or something myself. It's all really set up to be a long day. And an unreasonably sunny one.
And now commences the intrigue. A cable emmissary is coming to receive and transmit data to hire ups. i anticipate brouhahas.

MuddDude's been overworking himself recently, and feeling tired and stressed. This means lots of mothering from me, which makes ME tired and stressed.

I got up at 4am too. The ibuprofen wore off. I've got a call in to see a dental surgeon today... ugh.

So much for the late October comics launch.
The universe seems really against me putting comics online.
i was contemplating losing the cable tv anyway but this is so sudden and drastic. And there are cute kitties on right now. i'll have no ability to see Bravo-- no Project Runway?

People have been shouting at me on the phone today. Shouting at me does not make me change my mind about how hopeless your case is, don't you understand that?

Well, I just got into a happy, new relationship with someone. Except that someone had been my friend for 5 years first so there's none of that awkwardness that permeates new relationships. I'm very glad we decided to try this, I like this.

That's great, LunaticFringe.
i should stop matchmaking other people into would be happy relationship related frustrations and think about finding someone i could be giddy about-- but i don't even want to commit to an ISP today--
maybe if i can catch a nap
and find something interesting to do for Halloween--
