influx of Churchies blogging

Isn't it amazing how many Church fans suddenly have blogs? ;) The power of the Stevester!

I wonder how many of us will keep them up... or even actually start them. I have a journal on another site, but this gives me a place to bitch about people I can't bitch about there. Kinda like that journal gives me a place to bitch about other Church fans. :D Sometimes I just feel like ranting...even if no one else reads it. Very cathartic somehow.

And of course, sometimes I want to write something that doesn't get read by people who will know what I mean, even if it doesn't blast anyone. I realise that putting it online at all raises the possibility that someone I might not really want reading it does read it, but that just makes for a bit of a thrill. A touch of danger. Well....not really danger, just a touch of discomfort perhaps.


My car window got replaced today. I called yesterday and was told they would call be between 8-9 am today to schedule a more exact time. So I dragged my ass out of bed (I don't normally get up that early -- I know, I'm a slug) and waited for a call.

Nuttin.' So around 11 am I called them. They forgot me. :( But they said the guy would be here between 12 & 3 pm. Somehow I just knew that wasn't gonna happen either, and I was right. However the guy did arrive just before 4, so it did get done. And it cost less that what they had originally quoted me too. :)

and they took my Little Debbie snack cakes too!

Bastards!

I had picked some up when I was working at the coop friday and my aunt (who has downs syndrome) was getting cranky. She loves those cakes. I forgot to bring them into the house with me, so those are history also. That bit is actually kinda funny.

Hope the jerk/jerks choke on 'em.


I took my Max cat to the vet today for a checkup. He has hyperthyroidism, and it seems as if we've finally got it more or less under control (with medication). I'm thinking about having the radioactive iodine treatment done on him. It would be a major chunk of change, but would be an overall cost savings if he lives another 2-3 years. Plus the meds have side effects to consider (although he doesn't seem to be suffering from any right now).

The people at the vet's office couldn't get over how different he's acting now compared with the first time I brought him in. The first time he was really, really wired. Now he's a just a calm, happy, purring kitty. Nice to have that Max back.

welcome to the neighborhood!

Some jackass smashed the window of my car and stole my cd player. What a fine welcome to the neighborhood.

At least they didn't get much. The cd player isn't a car cd player, but rather a dirty, cracked portable boombox that I had previously used in my workroom. When the stereo in my car finally bought the farm I just got a power inverter (which was also stolen), plugged it into my cigarette lighter socket and had music again. So these morons broke into my car for a crappy cd player and a crappy power inverter.

Now my car is really ratty, 12 years old, and powered by gerbils anyway so fixing the damned window will probably cost more than the whole thing is worth. But it always starts and is cheap to run, so I'm keeping it until it dies (although there are times I wish it would so I could justify buying something else).

Not too worried about the cd that was in the player at the time as I burn copies of cds I like for the car and keep the original in the house. It would have upset me terribly to have lost the original of that cd.

So now I have to get the car window fixed, buy another portable cd player for the car (probably get one with a DC adaptor this time), and burn another cd. And I have to make sure to bring the cd player in with me every time now too. Don't want to reward the little fuckers anymore. Pain in the ass.

But it could be worse. I could be the dumb fuck who stole the stuff.

hmm....

i just wanted to post a comment in SK's blog, so I had to set up this account.

perhaps i'll blather on about stuff later.
