In and out of the polls in 30ish minutes in Echo Park.
How about you?
Postscript: I am also deeply amused that the votes will be counted on Guy Fawkes Day.
Post-postscript:Election day and the market is continuing it's rebound. Coincidence, or does Wall Street like the expected outcome of this election?

Lose points for Google. But, you still get points for knowing KoL.
After much bloodannoyance, sweat, and tearsstress, I am finally out of the old apartment.
Next up: the conversion of My Crap into My Stuff. (i.e. Unpacking boxes so they stop being clutter and transform into neatly shelved enjoyable artifacts.)

well then, you, my love, are very fortunate indeed
Saw this one coming.
I was banking with WaMu.
WaMu got bought out by J.P. Morgan-Chase.
Today I went into the bank to order a replacement ATM card.
"This will only take 3 minutes."
Before I got out the door they had me sitting in front of a salesman, trying to sign me up for a credit card. He printed off a sheet for me...

I love the Last Unicorn. I'd love to re-visit it soon.
Signed and handed over the check for the new apartment.
Got ten days of overlap between when the new place starts and the old place ends, and the two places are only a couple miles apart. Moving should be easier than usual. Still, anybody want to help me lug a king size futon into a UHaul and out again?

happy birthday!
stiles:
Yep. There was much running around to secure proper tools to cut down my chain, but once all that drama was taken care of things went better. Nothing like breaking three tools in a row and chasing several sets from three different stores , using an entire day to accomplish what should have been an hour job, tops.
The View From My Block On the Economic Crisis
Many things become obvious when you have a high school level understanding of arithmetic and you use it. Take this rule of thumb: On a moderate interest 30 year loan, you will pay around three times the list price of the home you took the loan out for when all is said and done. Let me...

That is an interesting point indeed, a different way to look at it. It can be great if your part in the machine is enjoyable to you. Thanks for the fascinating input, it is certainly something to think about!

Mamoru Oshii's 2004 follow-up to his 1995 anime noir is that rare sequel that surpasses the original

Oh my god, that fruit suggestion sounds so good. And I looked up that yogurt's website and now I want some SOOOO BAD.
Also, me and Greg are going to be day-tripping to LA sometime in the next few months, would you want to catch a museum/lunch with us?

Umm...how do you miss an Amazon like me? IWell....I didn't get there until midnight. Maybe that's how?

MOVIE NIGHT FORSTALLED.
What was I thinking, setting movie night over the top of the restart of Heroes?
Me and a couple of tubs of ice cream will be at Casa del Fuego tonight.

Swoopo.com, The Vietnam Iraq War, and the Economics of Stupidity
I like PS3s. I could use several, for reasons that deserve their own post. They tend to run 300$ used on eBay, which makes me happy. So when I saw an advertisement saying one had just been auctioned off for 30$, did my ears perk up? In that "this is too good to be true",...

just wanted to say hi n i wish u still had a room open. apt hunting is the worst
heracleitus:
Yeah, except for the war isn't being continued to honor dead soldiers. The Swoopo analogy could still potentially apply because, as it stands, chances are as soon as we pull out, there's a big civil war and we look like idiots. The longer we stay, the longer we can put off looking stupid and perhaps marginally increase our chances of that scenario not taking place, albeit, in my opinion, at a much lower rate than .15$ would be towards that PS3.
