So far, a successful pace run (despite vicious heat, i.e., 75 degree temps) and much playing around with my new GPS watch/program. Now to pick up the house for a friend's visit and then brunch and gay BEACH!
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Right. Picking up the house. Should totally get on that. But there's this tennis thing on TV....
And, damn, I really need to get another bookshelf and also get rid of/digitise my video tapes. I don't have a VCR anymore, and I really need that space for my DVDs which are lying all over the place.
What are reasonable prices for VHS->DVD transfers? I have a lot of hand-recorded capoeira that I really don't want to toss.

ita, it'd probably be cheaper for you to buy a VHS/DVD recorder and then unload it on CL when you're done than to pay someone to transfer them. Those places will rip you off.
I just spent an ungodly amount at Sears, but in three weeks I will have a kickass new stove & fridge. Let's hope my current units last out the month.

Huh. They do seem to be under $100. You make a very good point.
eta: Wait, those require a VCR. Hmm.

You could probably get a VCR off Freecycle.
I think if you had an Apple they have an analog import jack that would let you run a VCR directly into the computer to capture the video.

I'm pretty sure I'm a giant emergency preparedness fail. Unless you count having plenty of paper towels.
Have marketed (no empanadas and bread guy was cleaned out when I got there at 9:30!,) pedicured, and Targetted. Now I will tape and apply stripper. Then pool and TJs followed by more stripping and some laundry. Trying to get a lot of the regular stuff out of the way because I need to do shoe shopping tomorrow.

Thank, -t. Refurbished is exactly my target market.
I think I've given up on the bookshelf thing for today. I've pretty much clogged up all my wall space. Not enough storage room in this apartment, dammit.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Just participated in a 15 comics meme. Now to wake from that reverie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Anyone want to help me think about shoes? I did go to DSW and came back with three pairs. Oops. One is these, for commuting, so that's fine.
One is these in black patent, and I LOVE them, but they were a little expensive, given I don't know what they are really for. Dress-up day at work, I guess. Or general winter dress-up. I kind of feel like I should return them, but I love them!
The last one is the real question, and of course I can't find them online. I need shoes to wear with a navy dress to a wedding next weekend, so I was looking for silver (not gold, to wear with navy, right?). I got some slingback pumps that are "aluminum" color, pointy toe, brown heel. I'm afraid maybe they aren't dressy enough, and maybe I should get something more like these, but satin??
