crayon haggling, pt. II
2008-06-02 15:53:00 Our crayon haggling took an unexpected turn. While killing time on the ferry, she demanded I ASK MY BOSS about her low offer.

Finishing her little whispered “talk” with my imaginary boss, she declared my boss accepted ...

the laptop bluuuuuuuues
2008-04-10 07:40:00 I’ve been lost. Adrift at sea. Okay, at home. My Toshiba laptop hates me, became possessed had to go to the shop. Since it was less than three years old and practically obsolescent still under warranty, the Geek Squad is fixing it holding it until I break out in hives sending it out to actual computer geeks with brains, so they can fix it rip its guts out and replace everything. They even called me to confirm what they were going to do that they were sending it out, only to call me again three days later, to confirm again that they screwed up the paperwork and it was still sitting there UNTOUCHED were going to do that THING. From the earlier call. So, I’m getting reacquainted with my ol’ desktop, the DINOSAUR. It’s like all my phones have gone from cordless to CORDED. With that international call time lag/talking over each other thing. Or more like I have to tap out messages in Morse code. But I didn’t learn Morse code. And it’s worse t... More About: Laptop
