I don't drink coffee :/

I got the deal with newegg sorted out, newegg was still looking for my old card, but I had put in the details for my new card (the old one expires at the end of this month).  He should be here tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday.

There are two cats here now.  Black one is Uhura, the Orange one is Zoey.  They hate each other.  Orangey likes to rub up against everything in site, including me.  She'll rub her body along my legs while I'm cooking or washing the dishes, which is not the ideal time for such an activity.  It's really funny the way she leans her body when she does it, though.  Also, she sheds like crazy.  These two activities may or may not be related.

I just burned myself trying to light this candle with a standard bic lighter... ugh.  Ow ow ow.  I hope this doesn't blister.

I was gonna write more but the cat and customizing OpenBox has distracted me so much I forgot what else I was gonna say.

Good night.

Ordered Ophiuchus.  I hope.  Money I need for rent.. newegg/Charter One constantly declining my card.  Newegg claims C1's fault; C1 newegg.

CMC still hasn't approved resume.  Cannot upload files (to monster.com) from Wii.

Dumb.

I miss Sarah.

It's really light and small.  I like it a lot. :grin:
