You all hate me! ...Bwahhhhhhhhh (sobs uncontrollably)

So I left up all the comments from The Epic Battle Between Captain America and Captain Canuck, and initially said I was not bothered by said E.B. taking place in my comments.

But on second thought, I've decided to be in a Towering Rage. A month or two ago I complained about all my political friends moving away. CLEARLY I was crying out for a political argument. And where my Supposed Friends there for me? Did they start a big assed argument in September or October?

No! They waited until November, when I'm supposed to be writing a novel in one month. I've been spending all my time composing emails to Captain America, and reading emails from Captain Canuck. Neither of whom I've heard from in months, and NOW she sends me emails about the history of civil rights and smug Canadians, and NOW he starts forwarding frothy email stories about Italian prime ministers? In NOVEMBER! Even my MOTHER commented, who never comments on my blog! What's wrong with you people!!

Nobody loves me. I go away and cries into my unwritten book.

Yay! The Obamaness of it all!

A shacky little home

After San Fran was leveled by the fire which followed the 1906 earthquake the city didn't know what to do with all the refugees living in tents. So they created little green shacks which tenants could pay money towards owning, and then cart away. Below is one of the squares full of shacks, and below that is a photo of a modern house made up of several shacks put together.

Here's my little printy-poo, HP F4280. HP and Canon seem to be the best reviewed printers, and this one had good reviews from users on circuit city and amazon. I like consumer reviews better than professional reviews, for electronics, because I want to know how it works after a couple weeks, what are the common annoyances, what people think of the ink cartridges etc. There were cheaper printers (this one is 89) but I'll pay more if the bulk of people seem happy with something. Loves the internet for this sort of thing. Gosh, what did we do before?! I can barely remember Life Before the Nets.

The reason I increased my work by one shift was cause I needed a few purchase-ahjs... and now the spending begins. I stocked up on winter shirts and work clothes/shoes a couple weeks ago. I still have to make the winter coat trek, but first I need a printer. My old printer doesn't work right anymore and I need it to print CVs for job applications, and query letters etc. for my book.

I'm excited that all the cheap printers these days include scanners. Sharing photos is so much easier with the nets, but my old pics are still sitting around in boxes, being looked at by no one but the dust mites. (And they don't really care.)

...Back to my online shopping...

no sleepies no cryyyyy

I'm working at 8 AM today... and I was unnnable to sleep. I tried and tried as of 2:30 AM onward, but there just wasn't a sleepy bone in my body. Of course, now it's time to get up and get ready and I can feel the droopy sleepiness coming on! But... too late body. You're stuck til 4 or 5 PM.

Oh well. Time to get ready for work.

Getting Ready for the Big Event

Now that I've committed to Nanowrimo, I have to make sure my blogs are filled with enough material to last through November... I guess I'm overdue for a day of sitting and reading the news, cause that's often when things occur to me.

Nanoooo wrimoooo!
