Linkage baby.

Ugly house photos - Maybe it's just me, but I can't stop myself from looking at them all. Sort of like how hoarders (the show) is - a giant train wreck of a human, yet you can't look away. Seeing as these are just the houses, it's less saddening and you can openly shake your head and laugh at how bad it is. (If you do that while watching hoarders, people look at you funny, mostly because it's not funny in a haha way, but in a 'wow humans are sad and crazy little creatures' way.)

Sleeveface - While not horribly funny, it's creative and I find it amusing.

These passive aggressive notes remind me of the jackasshole articles Schizoid shared with us.

No, YOU are the mystery tool.

SO much spring cleaning.
- 10 bags of clothes given away to charity
- 4 boxes of random household things (glasses, plates etc) given away to charity
- 2 boxes of books packed up to go

- 1 trailer load of junk to the dump (and almost another to go)

I was planning on just dropping the stuff off at Salvation Army - but then a local community service called and asked if I had anything to be picked up. DO I EVER!!! I was thrilled to get rid of all this (usable!) stuff AND they would come to my door to pick it up! Awesome. I think the chick thought I was a mental case (which I am in many ways) for being so thrilled that someone was coming to take this stuff away. I'm happy it will get used by people in need instead of thrown out - and I don't have to pack it up in my truck and haul it anywhere.

I've also been going through books. Those things sneak in when I'm not looking and suddenly I have boxes of them everywhere. So I have decided to have ALL books in ONE area so I can see what's going on. I spent a good chunk of last night sorting through them and have a large pile to go out the door already. Huzzah!

Random linkage.
Near earth supernova - it has a nice ring to it

If you find an old strange balloon - beware!

Cram it crabcake, or is that cupcake?

Total randomness.

A group of boisterous aliens entered through the door, laughing loudly and high-fiving each other.
He sighed. "They're from the future."
"Really?"
"Yea, but only by 5 minutes or so. They don't do anything useful."
"Oh. I imagined time travel would be more interesting."
"It can be, but not for them."


The cook said they were duck breasts, but I heard dog.
For a minute there, I was both intrigued and repulsed.


Ah yes, it's Peeps season.
Go watch Mzebonga and I kill them.

I am the plague.

Being sick SUCKS.
I've been ill all week and it sucks! Even as I type, I'm sniffling and feeling a drop of snot making its way out of my nose. *sniffles and uses a tissue* I could deal with the snot if it weren't for the dry, hacking cough that comes with it. Bah. Being sick sucks.

Books I've finished reading:

The Dark Tower : VII
Golden Age Science Fiction (collection of short stories)
Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson
Cosmic Jackpot (non-fiction)
Keeper of Dreams - Orson Scott Card (collection of short stories)



Did I mention I've been sick lately? Sigh.
