Consolation Prizes

      No Comments on Consolation Prizes

Z took the girls on a little outing this afternoon, and they brought me back pressies. They wanted to do something to help me feel a bit better about cacking up my PC, and it certainly made me smile. I also remembered this morning that there was a spare computer I could use. I was poking along on my netbook (which… Read more »

The State of My Soul

      No Comments on The State of My Soul

My new GPU came! I was excited, and got cracking on installing it… except what should have been an easy install broke something and I can’t figure out what. I and Z spent a few hours trying to figure out what the deal was, with no success. I think that we’re going to have to resort to asking our old… Read more »

Shinies!

This face, this is a happy face. This is a face that figured out how to use her Christmas bonus last night. Well, more that I finally talked myself around to buying the things that I wanted, and now I feel better for having done it. And what new shinies are entering my life? Well, I’ve decided to get the… Read more »

Meal With a View

There is a place near to ours that I have wanted to go to lunch at pretty much since I moved here. Today was finally that day, and what a day for a view. And I am most sincere in that — it was very pretty in a bleak sort of way, which is fitting with it being winter and… Read more »

Self-Inflicted

I am on the edge of a migraine right now — all because I wanted to read a wiki article. The problem is that the background on the wiki in question is black. I know I can’t really read things on black, but I REALLY wanted to read it and figured it might be worth the risk… I was wrong…. Read more »

Puffy

I couldn’t tell you why it amuses me, but that the wool has sort of developed a rounded shape on the top does at that. It also reminded me that the size of the cake has decreased enough that I can turn it on its side so it feeds through the spiral properly, so that has now been done. Huttah,… Read more »

We Will Rebuild!

While the wind wasn’t isn’t as bad right now as it was last week, I’ve wanted to do this meme since then, ha ha. I kept remembering to take pictures after it was too dark to, hence it coming today… ah well. What it was today was chilly, starting from the aught. The water pressure to the boiler had dropped… Read more »

Morning Glory

Even if it’s one of those ‘bad for you’ things, I have an energy drink every morning to force my crippled ass vaguely upright. My go-to one is virulently yellow, even in the can, and it caught my eye this morning… so I thought I’d share it. Mmm, lining my stomach with antifreeze or something, ha ha. I’m proud of… Read more »

Bumps

Today as everyone got home, they changed into PJs because that’s the best thing to do. So of course, I do the opposite — they get home, I get out of my PJs and put on some ‘real’ clothing, ha ha. I won’t lie — it’s tempting to go to knitting in my pajamas, but I do like to pretend… Read more »

I wasn’t sure what I was expecting with the Seasonal thing on Diablo III, but so far I am liking it. There’s something about having a structure that makes the game more enjoyable to me; it’s part of why I play lots of Legacy games in The Sims. The real question is going to be if I enjoy doing it… Read more »
