Punctuation meme
I got this from a tweet from Kristin You Are An Exclamation Point You are a bundle of... well, something. You're often a bundle of joy, passion, or drama. You're loud, brash, and outgoing. If you think it, you say...
Newsletter completed, articles posted and twittered
Deb got done laying out the February 2009 issue of Erie Gay News last night, and I entered her corrections and sent it off to the print shop. I go to pick it up tonight after work, before belly dance...

More car mishaps
Sigh. Fortunately, this one was my fault. I went out to Craze to take some photos for the issue of Erie Gay News that goes to bed tomorrow. I misjudged the distance when getting out of the parking lot, and...

Replacement car
My mom and stepfather picked me up Wednesday to look for a car. We went to 2 car dealerships, and I ended up getting a 2003 Mercury Sable. Amusingly enough, it is white. (If the model is a Sable, shouldn't...
Keyboard Meme, via Sharon
Not sure how accurate this is, but it was fun. Sharon got Alt. You Are "tab" Some people might try to say that you're always spaced out. You do tend to be a dreamer, but you're also a great multitasker....
Locked out, or I am an idiot, apparently
The new car has remote keyless entry, which is sort of cool. However, this morning I went to go to work, started the engine, closed the door and proceeded to brush off the snow. The driver's side door wouldn't open....

Eden and Kim, as well as a few others did this, so, here goes: The rules of this tag are quick & easy: 1. Go to the the 4th folder where you keep your pictures on your computer. 2. Post...

Car is dead, basically
Groan! I was hoping that I could get some more miles out of it, but I just checked with the auto mechanic, and it looks like my car is for all intents and purposes dead. (For some reason, putting at...

Belly Dance
Last night, I went to the Pittsburgh Bellies performance, which was good. A few friends of mine danced in it. I saw my friend Sharon on the way in. The announcer wasn't familiar with all of the acts, and at...
Car trouble
Sigh. I was going to go over today to check out the home of someone who wanted to possibly host a folding party. She gave me her address, and said to call if I got lost. (Hmm. A potentially worrisome...
Indirect blast from the past/head scratcher
I was talking online with a friend from out of the area who has been to Drenched Fur. He happens to live in the area where my ex lives. The friend typically hasn't seen my ex out at all, and...

Misdirected phone call
The woman in the next cubicle just got a phone call. It became very quickly evident that the caller had called the wrong company entirely and had just happened to ask for someone who had the same name as my...

Pagan blast from the past
I recently found someone on Facebook who had been coming to the open circles Brighidshaven had at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Erie, back in the early/mid 1990's. She was a student at the time, and she had a perfectly...
Bob Barr: Repeal DOMA
Wow! This is a pretty strong statement from the introducer of the law. Bob Barr has realized that the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) must be repealed. Bob Barr: Repeal DOMA The law that prevents the federal government...
Jeff is okay and manhunt
I had seen in the news about the crazy guy who apparently had burned down a house and had the police engaged in a manhunt. I realized that the area was very close to where my friends Jeff and Gary...
Efficiency improved
A quick silly: I overheard my boss say to another co-workers in the next cubicle that he had "gotten an error in about half the time." I chimed in that meant that we were improving our efficiency - we were...
Personality Meme via Eden
Hmm, not entirely sure about this one. (Eden wasn't sure about hers as well.) I am fairly extroverted, I guess. I took the 43 Things Personality Quiz and found out I'm an Extroverted Healthy Self-Knower...

Friend's computer fixed, domestic stuff
I had a call yesterday from my friend Dave, who had been able to get files off of the crashed laptop belonging to my friend Eric. So, while Deb was over working on various newsletter/political stuff on my PC, I...
Music and an encounter with Sharon
I was out last night, checking on the supply of Erie Gay News at both bars. When I was at Craze Night Club, they had a fairly good crowd. It turns out that they had some bands playing, which seemed...
Recovering from massive software ick
I am not sure what happened recently, but I was having problems getting into Dreamweaver, InDesign, or Photoshop Elements. Not good. They had all been working okay. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling, but kept getting errors. Not good. I...
