Chris's parents don't believe I saw a cockroach in the house. So glad they haven't said it to my face, but it's pissing me off. I fucking know what I saw.
Nope, definitely a roach. They're the only bug that squicks me out that bad. And at first I thought it was a moth because it was flutter-y, but when I looked I got a good look. Plus, Chris killed it this morning and he said it was a cockroach too.

I'm getting a haircut and strongly considering a pixie cut (supposed to be good for round faces). I just can't decide what kind. These are the 3 I like the most. Any thoughts?
OMANOMANOMANOMAN There was a cockroach in the backroom. I saw it in the middle of the freaking wall while I was playing pinball. I saw one earlier when I was moving my plants and it was under the spinach pot. CAN. NOT. HANDLE.
you should never go out on my parents' deck at night. SWARMING.

They squick me the fuck out. I'm better at handling spiders. I want to sleep so that maybe Chris's trap works, but I don't know how soon I'll be able to sleep. Ridiculous over-reaction is ridiculous.

Transferring 6 years of pictures and documents (plus the stuff that was transferred from the other laptop) off my laptop and onto my desktop. It's not just a long and annoying process, it also makes me sad.
With a hint of worry that I wont transfer something and delete it or that I'm deleting things that I'll regret not having.

i went through that a few months ago. some of it is still on the drive i pulled and installed in a USB enclosure. so much to sort through. i'm sure you'll get the important stuff.
- Big Joe Silenced
I've finished with documents and tomorrow I'll get into the bulk of pictures. There's just soooo many pictures, and most of them are in folders that go Year>Month>Day>pics so it's a lot of clicking around.

CPAP USERS! Chris's dad has been using a CPAP for a while, but he's having problems with it. He doesn't like or can't use the mask, but the one he has doesn't fit (it just goes in the nose and when he moves it pops out). Any advice or suggestions for another type of mask or something?
Seriously unsure what to do with my laptop, which just shut off with time (15 mins) still left on the battery. It's "unsupported" for plugins and it heats up on me quickly sometimes. I think it's on it's way out. :(
I cannibalize my computers when they're done. Maybe you could find a shop near you that will buy it for parts.

I switched to my 'splody battery and it's charging now. *crosses fingers*
- Heather
Nope, after a laptop verse battery epic battle, the laptop decided not to talk to the battery. So my laptop is pretty much just a lap sized non-portable computer.

"It’s well known that there aren’t many open atheists in Congress or in state government, and that atheists aren’t held in high esteem by potential voters. Some question our dedication to what they view as a “Christian nation” while others feel that they can’t relate to a candidate who doesn’t share the same faith as they do. Whatever the reason, public distrust isn’t the only means by which atheists are discouraged for running from office. In fact, running for a spot in state legislatures as an atheist is outright illegal in some states."

"It's a weekend filled with fun and education for the whole family, built around the world-famous Strolling of the Heifers Parade — Saturday, June 2 at 10 a.m. sharp on Brattleboro's historic Main Street."

"Scores of lovable heifer calves, led by future farmers, lead this agriculturally-themed parade of animals, bands, tractors, floats, clowns and much more. When it's over, follow the crowd to our all-day, 11-acre Live Green Expo for food, entertainment and exhibits."

Pinterest needs to up their spam control. They expanded way too fast and now the spam is everywhere. I just had to restart Firefox because I couldn't close a spam page. Seriously considering giving up on Pinterest until I hear about drastic improvement.
The finished consistency is a touch runny because I was afraid of it being too thick. The result is... well I trust FF can sort out what an opaque white liquid kind of looks like.

Chris and I are watching a show about ad agencies, this one they're writing pitches for Subway. Chris and I have come up with several pitches, none of which are as lame or crazy or over thought as the ones on the show.
zAMbies (morning zombies), interpretive dance, and foot massages wouldn't sell me breakfast, but I'm not 18-25 anyhow.

my mom worked in advertising (Bozell/Temerlin McClain) in the 80s and 90s and i got to visit her at work alot. i've both heard about and witnessed many things i would never have otherwise believed about ad agencies.
- Big Joe Silenced
Chris and I should story board these out and go find an ad agency to force our way into.

I've started a fair number of statements with "I like kids, but..." but the more time I spend with them and think about it, the less confidence I have that I actually like kids.
I used to feel the same way. Then I remembered what Gerald Kersh once said: “There are men whom one hates until a certain moment when one sees, through a chink in their armour, the writhing of something nailed down and in torment.” And then I stopped caring about the kind of craven asshole who snipes from behind anonymous accounts, because, really, what the hell else could I ever do to them that they haven't done to themselves?

Sometimes I feel like just telling someone how awesome their post is isn't enough. Especially with all the idiots on Pinterest flapping their brains limply at anyone and everyone.
"A Kentucky man purchased every last bit of inventory from a Kmart store that was two days away from shutting its doors. But he didn't keep the stuff for himself. Rankin Paynter gave it all way to a local charity."
