My apartment is empty for the first time in weeks. After David left, Em’s mom came for a visit followed the next day by Greg. Also, this weekend, Jim crashed on our couch when he came to visit SF.
I’m feeling remarkably lonely now.

My computer still isn’t working, so email is still the worst way to reach me. If it’s something important, please please send me an IM instead.

As far as entertainment, I’ve been doing a lot more sewing lately (the old-fashioned way, with a needle, thread, and a lot of patience). I bought some stuffing last week so I could finally stuff the cubes and stars. In addition to the cubes and stars I sewed while David was here, I also made a cloud, another couple stars, a couple rectangular prisms, and a couple triangular pyramids.

Greg with cloud and stars.

Greg with bigstar.

Jim with angrystar.

Cube, big prism, little prism, big pyramid, and little pyramid.

I guess you can’t see the mouths on the stars too well. All of the stars except the smallest one have mouths (the angrystar has a frowny mouth, the others have smiley mouths).

I need to sew cube a little sibling at some point. Geometric shapes are fun. Any suggestions for other shapes I should make (besides annoying things like dodecahedrons)?

I don’t know if anyone has heard about this yet, but this is absolutely insane.

This administration = epic, epic fail.

Then again, what do you expect from people who still insist that global warming isn’t real and that the polar bears aren’t endangered. :-\ (Oh, they’re used to living in the water… they don’t need landmass/ice floats to survive, really.)

Stolen from Fark:

There is something about conservatives that makes them unable to relate to the whole “conserve” part of the word.

We should start calling them, “atives”

Since they are so lax in protecting the environment, perhaps we should call them “laxatives”.

My other laptop is, at the moment, unable to access the internets (which appears to be a side effect of removing the virus). Until I can figure out why this is and fix it (which is seeming like it will have to be a complete reformat), I’ll have very limited access to email.

If it’s something urgent, you should call my cell instead or leave me a message on AIM/YIM/MSN.

Happy 8 day to everyone, especially 8 himself.

Unrelatedly, does anyone know what virus prevents web browsers from properly connecting to the internet? My other laptop can’t reach any websites anymore and Symantec keeps popping up warnings about bad processes. *sigh*
