Tonight TCG and I are going to see Eddie Izzard live!
I get to to that in a couple of months! Let me know how it is (not that he could be anything but brill).
The money was too good. I got stupid.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
seriously - these are the things that went into the mail and were supposed to arrive by Jan 31, yes?
And they did. That's our point.
Look, I sympathize to an extent with these folk, I really do. But, dude...they were sent in January, if you didn't receive them by March we offered free reprints... but it is APRIL 15th! You just now figured out that you need these or that you don't have them? Sorry. That is your problem and we do our best to help you out, but there are limits.
Thus the theme of the day.

Well, some people may have husbands like mine who dropped the bomb yesterday that his boss's father was not, in fact, doing the taxes, so could they pretty please go home hook up the old computer to the internets, update Turbo Tax and send them in by tonight?
Want. To. Smash. His. Head.

Actually, Tep, isn't it you I have to thank for the pre-sale link? Or, was that Vortex. Ah well, whoever rocks!

MM, you should answer the phone:

You must either come in to the office with picture ID and a money order or cash for $12.50, or mail us your name, etc with a check or money order for $12.50, we cannot take orders over the phone.

then make some fun clicking sounds and say "this is Joe, how can I help you"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ignoring the scary ugly tax talk to say,
HAPPY BACKIVERSARY AND RE-BLONDING DAY, TEPPY!
Also, YAY BUG WITH HONORS!

I did mine! Turned out it was easiest to just do both state sets by hand, and then TurboTax did my federal for free (like I'm gonna pay sixty dollars for the privilege of their doing my state taxes!). Gotta say, though, I can't really recommend TaxSlayer. That is, it was fine for federal, but for state it was worse than doing it myself. Which seems deeply wrong. Besides, TurboTax has such a friendlier interface, despite the coolness of the other company's name.

For today, I'm going to be glad I live in Texas and don't have state income tax. Not because I don't think I should pay state income tax. I do, but at least it's not another set I have to do rightthefucknow!
