I’m ranting about marriage over at Glitter. Again, just as I start to think it’s something I want to do, somebody has to go and ruin it. In this case it’s a person who thinks that only people who are married or who intend to get married should live together. Otherwise you’re just “wasting time.”…

We’re still lacking Internet at home, though the Snook thinks it may have been secretly hooked up. He’s working on cabling the house so hopefully we’ll be back online soon.

The lease is signed; the keys have been handed over. It’s officially Moving Day, yo. Well, sorta. Today I’m home packing and cleaning while the Snook finishes up at work. Then tomorrow we’ll be renting a van to drive* as much of our stuff over as possible. Saturday the movers come to get all the…

I took the Real Age Test and discovered that although I am 26.5 in calendar years, I am 24.8 in terms of my “real age”. I don’t think that’s quite right, though. I took a huge hit on the nutrition section since it didn’t view healthiness from at Atkins perspective. (Too much meat and not…
