So you think you can Dance is making me mad.
FOX decided the day after the finale performance episodes aired (when they would normally post it on the website) that now they’re going to put these things up with an 8 day delay unless you subscribe to Dish Network in which case you have a special login to view the episodes right away.
This is bullshit. I mean if for no other reason than I watched the whole season online and they made...

One more episode of Deep Space 9.
They’re like potato chips.
“And here is a huge list of utility companies you might want to contact to get...”

I found money.
I love it when I find money.
I went home and blogged it and I was done.
I totally blog for stress relief. Sure theres other reasons but neverminding that. There was an incident at work one Friday evening as I was getting ready to head out the door when guy took a joke too far and ended up on the wrong side of “appropriate for the workplace”.
I told him so.
Which was my mistake.
Cause I ended up in an argument in which I was 100% right and yet I...
My furniture is awesome.
Looking at pics of my kitties looking cute and comfy on the zebra print furniture makes me decide to de-fur the futon covers and give them a wash. If they come out pretty I could just get new frames for the new place.
I learned everything I need to know about the VMAs...
Then I went to tumblr for pics.
I got bit by a tse tse fly.
Yesterday was day 2 of the sleeping sickness. I get it every so often and I can’t stay awake for a few days while, I’m guessing, my body recovers from late nights of Rock and Roll combined with other daily stress. I’ve always called it “My body rejecting my lifestyle.”
I feel fine. Just sleepy. And in the past when I’ve been tested there’s been nothing...
I start to be productive
then I forget what I was doing.
Remove the facebook App Ticker →
As if I couldnt hate facebook more, they put this stupid ticker on the side of the page which shows you everything everyone posts anywhere in real time.
I thought Status Updates were good enough but facebook wants you to know what your friends are saying to other people in real-time too.
The only way I’ve found to get it off the page so far is the strangest method I’ve run across....
Day 2 of Snoozing
Didn’t do much of anything today. Cleaned the kitchen. And Oreo. She’s a high maintenance kitty. Laid around. Watched more Smallvilles. More Deep Space Nines.
Seemed preferable to going anywhere or doing anything. Feeling like its time for more sleeping.
Nebuloce
Got an email from a guy today who let me know that even though I posted 3 years ago to let the world know that my phone thinks “Nebuloce” is a word and “Meatloaf” is not one, that I am still #2 and #3 in the Google search results for the term. And that his phone, today, also thinks “Nebuloce” is a word and “Meatloaf” is not one.
I'm awake now
technically.
But vegetating on the couch.

facebook
is now asking me to be friends with the “wrong people” i got when I looked for people I used to know and didn’t find them.
5 more hours of sleep
make it an official marathon.
I’ve been awake every 5 or so hours for a little while. Managed to clean cat boxes, do some dishes, do a run to drop off recycling and Netflix, and feed cats in between being mostly asleep for about 29 hours now.
I’ve been like this always so I’m not worried. Just bummed I didn’t make it to see Valient Thorr in Pittsburgh.
Yesterday I...
I'm still asleep.
Fell asleep again shortly after my last post. This time in front of the TV, which makes me question whether or not I can live with only a loveseat.
Woke up at 4am and got back in bed. I’m basically sleeping all the hours meant for my road trip to Pittsburgh I didn’t take because I felt sleepy.
Didnt make it to IKEA either
I just pretty much fell right asleep and then woke up and it was night.
I’ve been sleep deprived a little bit here and there for about three weeks now. Whoever says these things are not cumulative lies. I didn’t even understand how crappy I’d been feeling till I got some rest.
Had stress at work and stress buying a house and trashy neighbors interrupting my sleep, not to...
I could just take a nap
and go to IKEA in Cincinnati.

Day off
I ate cupcakes for breakfast.
Then went to the dentist to smooth out what they messed up last week when they did my cleaning.
It didn’t take long but it woke me up toooo early and I’m feeling too sleepy to make the drive to Pittsburgh to see Valient Thorr tonight.
It was my intention to go to IKEA while I was there and look at this pink loveseat I’m surely about to buy in...

What a year.
Last summer I’d only just settled into my new trashy townhouse in my new trashy neighborhood where my apartment is huge and my rent is low and my walls are thin and my low rent neighbors are close.
I expected to enjoy the trade-off of having plenty of space and my own laundry, but instead fate intervened and somehow, inside of one year I battled health problems for me and two cats, one of...
Stan: Tell me more about this house.
Dawn: I didn't show you pictures? You were the one who thought I was moving into a Unibomber shack. I woulda sworn I showed you pictures.
Stan: You showed me pictures of the Unibomber shack.
