Welcome to Craigslist

As part of my moving, I thought I’d throw some stuff on CL at insanely low prices (I usually just donate, but I figured what the hell). Anyway, I had this computer desk that we got for >$100 in NYC for Voldemort back in my 2L year. It’s not worth nearly that much, but it’s still useful and in great shape, so I put it up for the “why not?” price of $25.
Here’s my favorite response. It also happens to be the best exemplar of the CL buyerflake, evar!

Subject: Desk.
To: [me]I can come tonight and pick up your desk & haul it away.
I have $23 bucks in my purse at this very moment. Are you set on 25?
AWESOME!
I ended up just donating the desk, btw.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that

Sorry, there’s been a job search going on and big networking changes at work made the blogging more difficult (well, sorta. I was also burnt out).
But … I’ve got a new job… which will keep me super busy and I’ll be a Very Important Person and all that now, but also requires moving to a whole new area where I figure I’m going to have nothing to do in the evenings except comment about the world. And how hot it is there.
Like, seriously hot.
Have I mentioned it’s hot yet? Because it is. Supposedly. But I trust those in the know. And they say it’s hot. So… hot! Hotty hot hot hot. This kind of hot:
Not Jessica Biel-kind of hawt. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Anyhoo, I’ll be back, bitches. Prepare yourselves.

A word of warning

If anyone spoils any part of the plot events of The Sopranos final season before I get a chance to see it on DVD is going to need some serious padding around the nether regions due to the asskicking that will commence.
This is brought about because no less than 5 blog posts today have started with something like “not to spoil anything with The Sopranos, but…” and then, of course, go on to spoil the plot event. So far I’ve managed to avoid contamination, but if anyone else keeps this up, I’m calling Jeff Gillooly.
You have been warned.

Just in time for mother’s day

a new affiliate relationship! I always use FTD.com when ordering for deliveries anyway, so I figure… why not be an affiliate? Same selection and prices to you… and maybe I can pay for hosting.
Here’s the deal, 10% off for Mother’s Day:
Enjoy
(there’s a bunch of useful links to products and places I use anyway on the Help Me Help You page)
Probably not what he had in mind

A man died while trying to outdo a rival with an acrobatic move while “battle dancing,” police said.
Robert Stitt, 48, and his rival were competing in a parking lot Monday night when he tried a forward flip and landed on his head.
Dammit, I need a new death scene now. This guy just stole all my thunder. He’s a death plagiarist!
