So apparently the powers that be have been pimping the site. The commenting system and hopefuls albums are a bit different...I'm all for improvements, but it definitely seems like there are still some bugs to be worked out. It doesn't seem like my set comments are posting, and there's no access to the emoticons at the moment. The worst thing was that the server was...

Happy Kiester, y'all !!!

Okay, I don't mean to be snarky or anything, but I want to raise two points:

1) Now that we've all posted a profile pic of ourselves giving the finger, can we please move on?

2) Regarding SG profiles: If you've checked off that you are a punk, electroclasher, bookworm, metalhead, rockabilly bookworm, then you are contradicting yourself when you also check "Fuck you, I...

So I voted in our Democratic primary today. The place was packed! I don't usually vote in primaries, but I feel like it's extra important this time. It seems like a lot of people feel the same way, judging by the turnout. Obama FTW!!

So I freakin' broke my damn pinky finger today! I dropped a full 5 gallon pail of paint squarely on it, and OMFG did it hurt, as you can well imagine.

Wacky New England late-winter weather update:

Wednesday -- 4" of snow

Yesterday -- 2" of rain

Today -- 52 degrees and sunny

Tommorow's forecast is for a high of 27 degrees

Sunday's is for a high in the 40s...

A little consistency would be a good thing, but hey, this is New England, I guess.

Mostly, I'm just ready for spring...

I just got done reading where Forbes magazine or somebody published a list of the ten most miserable cities in the U.S., and my own town of Providence rounds out that list at no. 10. The ratings take into account stuff like unemployment rate, abundance of toxic waste sites, taxes, and weather. Taxes here, apparently, are second only to those in nyc, and I guess...

So I'll take today's sucky events as an opportunity to make my first-ever journal entry, and rant while I'm at it.
Retuned home from work to find I had a message from my bank, with an 800 number to call--something about my debit card. The woman on the other end of aforementioned 800 number asks me if I made a couple of different transactions, including...
