BUY NOW!!!!!!!! UPDATE - And now it's gone!

We are moving! Our landlord is a douche! We want out! We want to buy a house but on the chance encounter that I find a job outside the Dallas market, we have decided to keep on renting. But not from our current landlord, who thinks it's totally fine to raise the rent over 30%. I say fine, do that. I'm tired ...

This weekend Josh and I decided to go through our book collection and get rid of a bunch of stuff we're only lugging from place to place. I was basically raised inside a library, so you'd think I would have a card to my local branch. I don't. We buy books all the time, and now, faced with the prospect of moving, we can only see these mountains ...

FYI: I'm playing around with a Wordpress plug-in for alternating mastheads. Found myself getting bored with the photo I've had up there, so if you see random splashes of color don't have a seizure, ok? I just needed a bit less... drab.

I'll be the first to admit that several of ...

The most obvious news to report is that we FINALLY purchased a new car for Josh. "New" as in, new to us anyway. His A/C wasn't working right in the Acura (long story about something in the dash) and I had pity on him when I remembered just how close to the equator we live—and then watched his left arm turn to leather overnight. Boy, he looks ...

THIS POST, the words you're reading at this very moment, is the first ever from my new macbook!! I got it surprisingly early, via fedex this morning before noon, when the tracking info had it coming in a week from tomorrow! So far, I love it despite the huge amount of heat it outputs, which is apparently normal (says Apple). They even go as far as to say ...

It's spring now, and we're all still sweating in Dallas. Today's high is 81, which is cool around here. I finally got my A/C fixed, and I forgot how marvelous it actually is to have ice cold air blowing in your face while the scorching Texas sun is simulaneously aging your skin with its fatal UV rays. My little Ford celebrated its 100K birthday on Saturday, just hours ...
