Laundry and other things

katiefooleryIt’s been quite some time since I last updated my LJ… and even then, it was just a ficlet. This is mostly because I suspect that not many people want to hear about my exciting morning doing the laundry or the thrills of standing over the central heating vent in the kitchen in order to defrost myself (usually after coming in from taking the laundry to the dryer – non-stop thrills!).
I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
And of course, it’s around this time that LJ tells us they’ll be providing permanent accounts for sale soon. I’ve longed for a permanent account since just about forever but I don’t think I could justify it if I’m only updating once a fortnight. If that. Of course, irony will ensure that I’ll start updating like mad the minute the permanent acccount sale is over, but I’m prepared for that.
So, what have I been doing?
Apart from the laundry?
Well, yesterday, I spent quite some time wailing, yelling and swearing at my iPod mini, due to the fact that it decided to die. Again. CURSED PIECE OF PINK RUBBISH.
No, I take that back. Well, not the bit about its being pink… but everything else. I adore you, little (unfortunately pink) iPod. Won’t you consider coming back to life? Again?
Because if it doesn’t, I’m seriously going to consider smashing it into many, many pieces with the nearest available heavy object. Or perhaps I could take it outside and throw it against a wall – either way, I’m sure I’d feel better after getting all that frustrated rage out.
So I have no iPod and my iriver player is still being daft, on top of having the worst shuffle function in the whole of existence. Oh, it’s nothing but angst around here.
In less angsty news, it seems as though our landlords have decided not to sell right now. How much this has to do with the fact that a developer has put in an application to build four townhouses directly across the road is anyone’s guess… but my guess is that it was a major factor in changing our landlords’ minds. Of course, this means we’ll have to put up with the sound and disruption of construction but I’d far rather do that than move.
Then again, I’d far rather coat my head in honey and stick it in a bucket of ants than move, so that’s not saying very much.
The rest of my time seems to be taken up with being a beta. Which I still love. If I could do that and be paid for it, then I’d be very happy indeed. I very rarely find my brain falling asleep during beta-ing. And I never have to deal with the sort of students I was dealing with last Thursday when I’m beta-ing. That’s a huge appeal all in itself.
And that is why I haven’t been updating. Unless you want to hear all about commas and how fascinated I am by the way people use them.
