Never take your eyes off the vampire in front of you to glance at the werewolf in back of you. One problem at a time.

more corporate confusion
First there was Toys R Us and a PS3, now there’s AT&T and my refurbished phone purchase. I blogged just this morning about buying a refurbished Samsung Magnet to replace my dying Sony Ericsson Z750, but I had some hassle today when I checked the AT&T web site and saw that I could’ve gotten [...]

cheap apartment not worth the rent increase
I’m so annoyed right now. I found posted in the hallway of my apartment several copies of the same notice saying that rent would be going up at the end of everyone’s lease. The rent for one bedroom apartments is only going up “by $55″ and we’ll somehow get “FREE high speed internet [...]
grumbling about personal blogs changing
This will just be a brief post to grumble about blogs that I used to enjoy that have changed such that I no longer care about their content. This is probably going to sound whiny but it’s been bugging me for a while, so of course I’ve got to vent about it on my [...]
House of Leaves
I bought a new book last night: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. And by “new”, I mean new to me, not new as in it just came out. It apparently was published in 2000 but I just now heard about it (on Reddit, actually) and got intrigued so I bought [...]

lack of parenting
I just found, courtesy of Fark, this article: Boston mom calls 911 over son’s video game habit. I’m just flabbergasted. Really? You feel the need to call emergency services because you suck as a mom? I have a few suggestions for getting your son off the game console:
Tell him to [...]
why I’m not a dog lover
I was just reading Rose’s post about her mom’s dog being mean toward male guests and it reminded me that I had aimed to write a post about why it is that I don’t really like dogs. I stayed at Jon’s aunt’s house a few days ago and they had two indoor dogs. [...]
couldn’t watch Watchmen
We got a bit of snow, enough to cover my brother’s porch, the trampoline, and the cars, but only barely enough to dust the grass. That was last night, when it was still coming down. At one point when I went out, I couldn’t tell if it was rain or snow before it [...]
huffy Facebooker
People online sometimes need to take a chill pill and not assume everyone they deal with is like an angry Fark commenter or 4chan poster. A friend of mine on Facebook said “Luna Nueva” in a wall post, and some other friend of hers responded about how the adjective comes afterward in Spanish. [...]
Paranormal Activity… I guess?
I just got back from seeing Paranormal Activity with Jon and, honestly, I’m disappointed. There was all this hype about the movie, like it’s the scariest thing in years, it’s like a Hitchcock film, it’s an intelligent horror movie, etc. It wasn’t bad, and I appreciated that Micah and Katie seemed like normal [...]
