I want to do our taxes. I really want to do our taxes. When the taxes are done, I can get a better understanding of our financial position, which will tell me when we can really go car shopping.

But I can't do the taxes. Not all of the forms have arrived. And seeing as one of the missing forms is vitally important (school financials), I really can't do the taxes yet.

Grr.

Ach well. We still have at least three more cars to test drive, so I suppose there's no rush. Except that February is car inspection/registration month, and I'd really rather not re-register the car if I don't have to. *iz miserly*


In other news, I think I might enjoy biology. ( Read more... )

( To do list for the weekend: )

I'm getting antsy to do something creative, as well. Might break out the sketchbook, as there really isn't time for any painting. Also, sketching can be done while listening to the boob tube, whereas painting can't really. Speaking of, know of any good links to whole(ish) episodes of QI? Also, is it possible to listen to the first seasons of "Cabin Pressure" without buying them? (If so, please PM me the linksies?)

Hmmm... Might have to introduce Page to "Jeeves and Wooster." It's silly enough that he might get it. And his horizons need some serious expansion... However it might be a bit early for it yet. Unfortunately, it's definitely too early to introduce him to Blackadder...


Anything else? Not really. Well, not that I can share without linking to facebook sites (cuz I'm WAY too lazy to look them up individually on the internet). Suffice to say that there's some good stuff out there. Might I suggest "I fucking love science" and "Old Moss Woman's Secret Garden" on fb, xkcd (just generally, though I find I must recommend this specific one), and ICHC.

Right. Getting close to pick-up time, so I'd... better finish my computering. ;-)

The Traveller is well worth a read. I'm going to have to reread it more critically at some other time, but my first impression is that it's impressively laid out. And worth the reread. At some other time.

Holy crap, friends! Perhaps it's just the late hour making me more suceptible than usual, but I highly, highly recommend you run over and read The Room of Lost Dreams on the exchange. Seriously brilliant story. It explains everything. Perfectly.

Sorry for the deluge of updates.  I promise this will be the last of the night.

First, I wanted to point out that chapter 11 of Marry a Choice is up at The Petulant Poetess for your reading pleasure.  Any feedback is appreciated, as well as making me squee, squee, squee all the way home.  It's in queue at Ashwinder, so it'll be up soon there as well.

Second, thanks to humantales, I checked out this masterpiece of absurdity The Owl Chronicles by mouse.  It's over at Occlumency and is rated G (C).  I highly recommend it if you're in the mood for silliness.

And seeing as it is technically another day (and I've been abusing the update feature), I'll also add the next entry of ( Snape's Journal )
