Drunken Owls and Other Delights

ITEM: I need to update my current default LJ icon. Obviously Arkham West no longer looks out over the corner of Bay and Stockton. I'll miss the view...but at the same time, I think it's good that I'll have less distraction. The new writing nook isn't much to sing about just yet, since we've only just plugged in a few days ago.

ITEM: Speaking of plugging in...first two days of working at home not too bad. Again, not as much distraction from outside, a LOT less ambient noise, and a better connection adds to that. Now if only my workplace would hurry up and upgrade the server so it's not lagging both here AND at work...

ITEM: I strangely feel the need to pick up where I left off re: The Process of Belief. Now that we're somewhat settled to a degree, I think I may dig out the notes I'd taken and do a bit of writing tonight! Haven't written for a few weeks do the move, so perhaps it's time to start up again...

ITEM: Note to self--if I'm ever going to get anything done writingwise, I've got to stop with the life-altering events like moving and major vacations. :p

ITEM: This damn cold is sort of going away...I hope. It depends on the time of day. Sometimes I'm stuffed up, other times I'm hacking up a lung...and other times I'm totally fine with just a case of minor sniffles. Razzafrazzin' allergies. X(

ITEM: We get to work so early that I really should take advantage of that and do some longhand writing.

ITEM: Still loving that new Editors album. Also? Need to download the Great Northern songs from eMusic, as I found they're on there! :)

ITEM: Did I say that I LOVE how quiet it is in our new neighborhood? That we don't have to crank up our TV or hear skateboarders heading down the street at 2am or worry about rattling windows or idiots throwing shoes through them on Friday nights?

ITEM: fnord.

A) Confidential to lynxreign: Hardy har har. And thanks for doubling my outerwear wardrobe! :p


B) Is anyone else having a problem with LJ taking its own sweet time coming up on the screen? It comes up okay, it just takes a bit for it to actually react to things like scrolling and clicking on links. Mind you, this is when the screen first comes up...once it's fully refreshed, it's okay. Then again, it might be just be my friends page (okay, which one of you out there is fiddling with code?!?? :p ). And again, it might just be me.


NOTE: OH MY GOD is it GORGEOUS outside today. The temp is supposed to be 78, which is actually a little higher than usual for this city. This is total vacation weather, so there's a good chance the neighborhood is going to be swimming with people today. Going to head out with Emm today and do some shopping down in Daly City, and perhaps scoot down to Pescadero for lunch. Might also stop at the farmer's market on the PCH if it's open. Shall take the camera with me for pix. :) Also, will dispense with all pronouns at beginnings of sentences. :)
