My roommate has been on a cleaning spree lately and I wish he'd stop. He hates things looking dirty, but that is quite a bit different from liking things be clean. As long as something isn't in sight he doesn't care, the cabinet below the bathroom sink has become a disgusting repository I refuse to deal with.

He's capable of operating a vacuum as well...

There has been an angry protest every couple of days at a business about a block away. I can't make out what they're yelling, but it's a real protest with signs, slogans, and lots of angry yelling; it also takes place early in the morning and have been my unpleasant wake up alarm.

Most protests I've seen lately have a handful of people standing behind...

I finally got a replacement camera cable for my camera so that I can download them to my computer. I had intended to, among other things, to take a place another picture of myself here as a token effort to not be a completely anonymous pervert and to, instead, be a mostly anonymous pervert. It turns out that the battery doesn't charge through the USB...

This summer and last I've heard icecream trucks driving around close by, but never in view. I know they're icecream trucks, because I can hear their metallic, electronic chimes. The thing is they don't play the standard icecream song, but rather songs that are familiar at first and then recognized later. They've been playing twinkle, twinkle little star, frosty the snowman, and others played at...

There are garbage cans in the area, but at best only half of the runners stop and throw the cups away and the others drop them where ever they finish. The...

The all caps format change makes me feel a little like I'm being internet yelled at.

I went to a no cage cat shelter called Simply Cats for the first time today with a couple of my friends. It was such a cool place. There are about a dozen rooms or so, each housed five to six cats up for adoption with plenty of cat toys and climbing things for them. There weren't any kittens, but all of the cats were...

The heater has been fixed, it was a little of column A and column B. He was late on the bills and the heater was legitimately busted. The filter probably hadn't been replaced since the place was built, six years instead of six months will apparently do bad things to a heater.

Our heater isn't working, or my roommate didn't pay the bill so the house isn't much warmer than it is outside. The gauge reads 60, but it doesn't go below 60 and from where I'm sitting that estimate is optimistic. Whatever the case may be he didn't find time before going to work at 1PM to check with the gas company. There aren't any bills...

The rain that has been keeping the skies dark for the last week has cleared up. It really parallels my own feelings about the election.
