Wow, I got removed from a fanfic challenge for not having written anything. It's a fair cop, but it's still kinda ouchie. I'm impressed that the moderator was so thorough, though.

I miss my old alarm clock. The kitties smacked it off my nightstand (or just kicked it off when they scampered around on there) a time too many and the thing was working like those old rabbit ears do--only if you don't mess with anything. I went and got another one this weekend which, like the old one, just plugs into the wall and knows the time and day of the week. But it's not the same. It's got narrower and orange numbers. There's just a light that goes on in the AM instead of a light-up set of letters to let me know that (so I could tell in the dark! Or, more likely, when I'm resetting it whether I've got the time right). The same thing is the problem with the day of the week--there's just a light-up diode instead of a light-up "MON" or "TUES" as the case may be.

Alas. I started to get really bothered about this when I opened the thing and plugged it in, and decided that the best way to get the fuck over it was to just throw the old one away immediately. Done and done.

Former roommie and I set off a Chinese New Year confetti bazooka in Chinatown yesterday which is three billion kinds of fun. We also watched a girl set one off and the kids were all squealy and cute. Much fun was had.

And Trinity Goes SPLODE

Stole this meme from arcane_the_sage. Normally, I don't post the results of character memes (most of the time they're bleeding obvious who you'll get with what answer), but I'm all a-fail about who I got for a Heroes one.

( SQUEE!!! )

I will confess to being a little confused, however. Based on my answers, I'm not sure I deserved this character. The paragraph describing the character is about right, but the best/worst trait listi is a bit...off (I hope). Must be the high score on nonconformity, which is an awesome category to score in.
