Poor Swifty.

I def. prefer Cumberbatch darker, but he's one of those people where depending on the light and the angle, his whole face changes. He's just pretty.

I just got back from TTSS. There was one scene with Tom Hardy that is completely lost to me because I just stared at his lips.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good onya, Noah.

This has better be my last errand of the day. I'm plum tuckered out. And this is a stupid errand, because I paid at work for express shipping, and they didn't put enough postage on. So, it was a waste of money, but I totally have to do express now. Im assuming it will only cost me the difference.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So I spent some time helping to clean out my grandmother's house this morning, and now I have like 15 CDs to figure out how to take home. Post offices aren't open on Sundays, are they.

Nope. Hit up an Office Depot for a DVD multi-case and ditch the jewelbox covers and they should fit in your suitcase.

Yeah, but I'll probably donate or sell them after I rip them, so I'm not sure that will work.

Some of those UPS Store type places are open Sundays I bet. Like, a we-pack-and-ship.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Overheard Matilda, as she, Emmett and Hec were in the nerd hole, looking at some hipster-mocking website:

Do hipsters look like that? Oh. I thought a hipster was an evil monster.

dana,

you can look online to see which stores might be open on Sundays. a lot of pack and ship places are not open, but if you go to ups or fedex websites, you can see your options. Better still, some of the ups/fedex places have packing materials, so you can pack it yourself with a ship label and toss it in a ups/fedex box if it is small enough.

I haven't bought a car. But I think I've found one. I'd have bought the one I test drove, but there was another that met my criteria for the same price and slightly better mileage, so I put a deposit down on that. They'll call me when it's out of pre-sales servicing. Should be Monday, new car, all good. Fingers are crossed. Mileage is much better on it that any cars I've seen--easily half my cars, at maybe a couple years newer. That and passing the mechanic's evaluation is more important to me than a test drive, since I've driven a few of them before.

What kind of car? Also, congrats!
