And while I am not too hot on the folky music, the lyrics to "The Sound of Silence" are awesome.

So let me get this straight: it's a lovely house, and I can stay here for as long as I like, just so I don't want physical sex or an emotional relationship? Why yes, that certainly seems fair...

And here's a nice quote from Dwight Ludwig: "We're all whores."

Do I sound bitter? Because I'm not. There were a lot of guys - psychotic or not - who were completely devoted to me. The fact that I chose to spend the rest of my natural life - how ever horiffically long that might be - with someone with the emotional capacity of your average garden shrub - well that's just my own damn fault then, isn't it?

Someone ran into my house this morning. With their car. Knocked one of the columns off-kilter. There are glass shards, paint chips, and assorted car bits all over my porch and stairs. Waiting to hear back from their insurance company now. Very, very, very strange.

Whoa. How scary! Call your homeowner's insurance too; the other guy's auto insurance may or may not be completely cooperative, but it's in your company's best interest to ensure that they are. (Also, if you might have to file a claim later, best to get the incident on record early.)
From: [info]purple_stardust
Date: 5/7/2004 12:17:13 PM

Ohh, really? I thought their insurance would take care of it. Okay, will do. Thanks for the advice!
From: [info]cellio
Date: 5/7/2004 12:31:31 PM

The driver's insurance is supposed to cover it. But they might be slime, or he might not have bought enough coverage, or he may convince them that the accident wasn't really his fault and that could delay paying claims, or... all sorts of things can happen. The best thing to do is to call your insurance company, tell them what happened, tell them who the other insurance company is, and ask them how to proceed. Don't file multiple claims; just keep everyone in the loop and do what your company tells you to do. Otherwise it may take you longer to get your money, and meanwhile you've got a tippy column out front.

Good luck.

I ordered a bigass bucket o' salt on Friday; got the shipping notification that it should be here on Tuesday! Nice service on their part, and hooray for Fed-Ex. Anyway, the bucket is really pretty and purpley, so whenever I use up all the salt (should only be fifteen years or so), I can re-use the bucket for mixing saltwater. It's a really pretty bucket. Yes, I am easily amused.

In other news, I ordered a tiny little book from Amazon on the same day, and it's due here on Wednesday, via UPS. So I can get a 70-pound bucket of salt from petsolutions.com via Fed-Ex faster than I can get a 50-page book from amazon.com via UPS. Someone explain this to me...?

Today I'm doing laundry and playing Neopets... fun. I also did a 10% saltwater change, and later, if I really want to have fun, I may spray-paint a cooler. It's like a fucking party, here.

You know that you're on a definate downward spiral when the high point of your day is hearing from the paternal figure that you don't even like. But he's bringing me tomato plants, so I guess it's okay. Now Rusty just needs to be here long enough to actually till the garden.

While I was playing Pyramids, I found a codestone on the floor, which sold for 5000 np, and then a faerie came along and gave Scorchabelle another level. Cooler still, when she finished her course, she got a bonus and went up two strength levels! Later, we were playing Cliffhanger, and she gained a level in intelligence! Hooray!

Heee! I got three scorchio plushies! And I made my own checklist to keep track of them.

As of today, we have been home-owners for one years. We were going to have a cookout to celebrate, but my poor little Sarah is sick, so we're busy freaking out instead. =(

Sarah felt a bit better today, so we went out and bought a canopy for the patio and had our first cookout - turkey burgers and HN franks, and then Rusty made strawberry shortcake for dessert. It was really nice, especially since the weather was pleasantly cool today.

Coming up tomorrow: aquarium shopping.

Bought a shiny new aquarium today - a 65-gallon show tank with stand... hooray! I got the lights already; I still need to order my live rock, plus buy the filter, heater, and powerheads... then I finally get to start cycling this bad boy. Oh, and I need to figure out a good plan for emptying and moving the Nano-Cube so that I can put the 65g in that spot. Not sure how that will work, but I guess I'll figure something out. I guess I'll put everything into buckets like if we were moving, then move the Cube into the dining room temporarily, then put the stuff back in it until the new tank cycles. That should work. I'll pick up some big-ass buckets later this week.

I think 21 Grams is probably the most depressing movie I've ever seen. I'll have to get the DVD.

The most depressing move I've ever seen is Beyond Borders. Hands down. Nothing like war zones and starving African babies to give you a big downer.

You're right
21 grams is depressing, the acting was AWESOME though, I love BDT though, another good but depressing yet has awesome acting is The House of Sand and Fog. =)
