Fiery death.

kageotogiI'm back from my Great American Solo Road Trip, and I had a great time. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
photoash, mortenavida... Thank you both for your hospitality. It wouldn't have been nearly as much fun without you guys!
Now that I'm back, it's difficult to get into the groove again. Work is going well, though; I buckled down this morning, and my massive email pile-up is considerably smaller five-plus hours later. The rest of my to-do list is not nearly as complete, sadly, and I'll spend the next few days catching up on things I let slide while I was on the SRT. Whatevs; it was worth it.
I stopped by my parents' house yesterday on the way home to (1) pick up my apartment keys and (2) give back their suitcase. They had me peruse through their silver and pick out the pieces I want before they melt the rest down or try selling it (it's been in storage in their basement for years, so I can understand that). I did, so they're setting those bits aside for me. Which is neat. Once I have places to put it all, I'll steal it away. All settled!
Anyway, while at my parents' house, my mother happened to mention that my brother was canceling our cell phone plan. This was news to me, and I was a teensy bit upset that the boy hadn't mentioned this to me even though my mother has known about it for months. Urgh. Long story short, my father let me go after him with my new meat cleaver (knife sets were mixed in with the silver, so I claimed one), he apologized (he'd thought he'd told me already, apparently), and promised to look into making mine a solo plan when he called to cancel, rather than canceling it and leaving me in the lurch. That's a good boy. So, anyway, I'm waiting on Verizon to get in touch with me about that, and that'll be fine. Whatevs. It'll be more expensive than what I was paying for before, but at least I won't be suddenly and inexplicably without a working phone.
Speaking of canceling things,kloos411 and I are totally going to cancel our cable subscription and going back to network. Our bill is ridiculous, and cutting that out of the equation will make a lot of difference. Besides, we almost never watch television -- this'll work out beautifully.
That done, here's something of a to-do list. I know how much you've all missed those...
[x] call about the garbage disposal
[x] call Comcast
[x] talk to ze boy
[x] call Verizon
[x] buy some groceries like whoa
[x] fire ze missiles
[x] reply to outstanding LJ comments
[x] read read read read
[x] write write write write
[x] drink teeeaaaa
[x] finish ze laundry
[x] water ze plants
[x] unleash the beast
[x] knit knit knit knit
[x] beta beta beta beta
[x] fiddle with the new Dreamweaver
[x] drink more teeeeaaaa
...silliest to-do list I've ever had. Ah, well.

It's a system I've perfected since July, and it works pretty well, if I do say so myself. :D If it's important, people usually email me about it again. If it's not important, it'll get done when I have the chance to look at those emails. Easy!
It's a lovely userpic, and perfect for Eiri's birthday. He's big on the molestations.

Date: 2009-02-23 11:51 pm (UTC)By the way, I'm sorry I didn't get to see you while you were in town, I was unfortunately busy the whole time you were here with my car (suddenly severe brake problems, yay!) and working. The only day I could have come I spent the whole time in a waiting room watching terrible TV and reading silly magazines at the car dealership. It was very boring, unfortunately.

Date: 2009-02-24 02:25 pm (UTC)Oh, you know. I hung out. Did some baking, some shopping, some chilling... It was exactly what I needed.
