The new water heater is installed and making happiness. The boiler (for the heating system) is running sweet and smooth for the first time in three years. The garage looks like someone detonated a homeless shelter in it. But that's OK. I am surrounded by friends and family, I am warm and clean and happy. "No can brain today. Want cheezeburger."

Which has thus far been spent on some games from Steam, and a huge splurge at DAZ3D. - classicdrogn - 12-26-2011 Miscellaneous minor things, and some moolah for me. Plus the big family dinner last night and buffet today, to which I brought corn chowder, which conjured yums beginning with when the crock pot was brought in the door this morning. And time to myself even in the middle of it when I'd had all I can stand of pretending to be social. - CD -- "Anko, what you do in your free time is your own choice. Use it wisely.

He remains, even twenty years after his death, one of the greatest guitarists ever.) Side Jobs by Jim Butcher Cash (sort of; my uncle forgot to sign the check) And a knick knack box made from old computer keyboard keys that I would show you, if Yuku's image embeddign function FUCKING WORKED! Strictly speaking, I'm not finished, as I have family (and Dr. Girlfriend - yes, she just finished defending her dissertation so she's Dr. Girlfriend) coming this weekend. Ebony the Black Dragon http://ebony14.livejournal.com "Good night, and may the Good Lord take a Viking to you." - Wiregeek - 12-27-2011 Ebony - I've given up on Yuku for handling images, I just drop an imgur link. handy little service, and a three-click interface to upload from phone to imgur (share, imgur, wiregeek) "No can brain today.
