I'm migrating my old journal from Diaryland to LJ, and backdating like a crazy person. I decided, however, to release some of my more silly older entries into current rotation. Expect insanity over the course of the next week or two.

We went and saw “Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy” on Sunday matinee, and it was just about everything I hoped it would be.

Well, I finally parked my ass down and did my tax returns. Yesss, 11th hour, how I love your fevered brow! So, we owe the IRS $33 and we’re getting $44 back from the state. Whoot. I think we actually probably don’t owe the Fed anything, but I can’t figure out how to deduct the […]
