Hope everyone's September is going swell so far. I'm really keeping my head down and working a lot, and it's paying off. Customers dropping $2200 my store in one go tonight. My manager was impressed, and after I learned he's just hard to read and doesn't actually hate me, I've been a ton more comfortable in my job—and I mean, that's what you need in retail, to feel good and be able to chirp at customers. It helps that I'm a lot more excited about what I'm selling now than I was about Read more
So, as you've probably seen in some of the photos I've been posting lately, the eMachines Box finally has its own setup. I already had the PS/2 keyboard that went to this machine, and I bought a cheap wired mouse from work partially because I needed another mouse, partially because I needed a spare even after I upgrade this one, and partially because the cheapness of the mouse seems to complement the low-end nature of the eMachines Box anyway.

I'm almost ready to post the trip diary. The pages are all done, and the group's already seen it. We're about three-and-a-half months past my departure, but all that's left is for me to finish up some BunnySetter drawings I'm doing for it (two more to do, one finished, one currently being lined right now) and everyone can come see it.

Dedicated journal readers, I am typing this at you from the comfort of my brand new desk I have spent the evening with my mom struggling to put together. It is so choice. Peep the setup: Click the image! You'll want full-size for this one. I've been on the hunt for a new desk for literally years now. My old desk was a very cheap, very shitty, falling apart particleboard mess—the legs were particleboard, the top was particleboard, and the bottoms of the built-in drawers were like, flimsy sheets Read more
So our power was out for two days! A popup storm on Monday littered the area with trees and branches and took out power for some 22,000 people at the peak, and 13,000 for two days. I was one of the 13,000. (At the moment, according to poweroutage.us, only 31 people in my county are without power, so all is back to normal just about. Rest in peace to the gamers in York County, though, they've still got 6,700 outages.) This sure sucked! We have electric water, so none of the showers, toilets, or Read more
