So today wasn't very exciting but productive

Good things:

+ Had breakfast with family

+ Walked around outside and around town a bit

+ Finally figured out why one of drakonlily's OCs is named "Araby" and on a related note have decided that Dubliners is a great book thus far.

+ Had a very tasty cookie with my lunch and might have gotten hit on by a cute barista girl.

+ Have finally figured out Yahoo Pipes so now I can tame my RSS feeds. Actually, I just like playing with things. XD

+ Behold the next step of the costume. I need to fit that thing, as it's a recovered piece from this hideous shirt. This will require me to see if the two sewing machines in the house are actually functional and getting over my slight fear of them (I've sewn everything by hand up to this point). Looking at various sites and getting advice as far as going about it. I'm going to practice on some other things before attempting to work on that waist cincher.

+ Got the backlog of links for ff_fanlisting taken care of.

+ Started making some BSG icons. Because it's about frakking time.

Bad things:

+ Tragedy nearly struck as some Trojan buried itself in a component of my text editor. Which meant I had to uninstall and reinstall once I'd purged the computer of it. Considering I nearly depend on that text editor, this was annoying.

+ MORE RAIN IS COMING. Since my workplace's building is still, ah, drying from the last flooding this is somewhat worrisome. Then again, can't be as bad as poor Iowa.

+ Nobody is home tonight! I may be making phone calls.

Funny story

So I locked myself out of my house today and thus had to break in. Thankfully one window was not locked, and after cutting through the screen (I tried to pop it out first, apparently Anderson windows only pop IN) and getting a lawn chair I managed to shimmy myself in. This was not a large window, but thankfully I am compact. There was about five minutes where my legs were kind of hanging out the window as I tried to leverage myself through and I almost pulled a muscle in my hip that I didn't know existed before. XD So apparently people in my family just don't know how to quit. It all felt very like a Turk mission gone wrong and I'm tempted to write something very silly related to this.

Also, I need a beer. I'm getting too old for this. And I'm going to surgically implant the housekey on my person, by god.
