Things that have been awesome:

-Cat was successfully (though not without issue) wrangled into the cat carrier (had to bundle her up in a towel completely, like a hobo bundle and push her in and close the door), and transplanted to the new condo where she's still be a little wonky and freaked out, but is generally getting on well.

-Tonight the last of the junk goes out from my old apt. for tomorrow's garbage pickup. After that it's the quick matter of some cleaning of the bathroom and I will be handing the key back over to my landlords later this week and will never have to be in that dank, hard-as-hell-to-keep-clean basement apartment again.

-DOWNTON ABBEY Series 2 is TEN episodes (instead of only the 6 that Series 1 is) and I've only just started them so I've got some great TV ahead of me.

-Post Office (at an extortionist cost) is forwarding my mail to the new place for 6 months, and I've changed it with various parties, including the government branches I deal with (Transportation, Health ect.)

-Oh and discovery of the books of British author Susan Hill has me very excited that she's written so many!

The fact that some people are actually annoyed at the forum auto changing some words to silliness.
Well, first I was very surprised that people seemed to actually complain, now they're complaining nonsense has me amused

Gasp! I'm so close, and yet so far! Wah.

Still, I'm happy because we found out at work that we're getting bonuses this year so...I am planning a shopping spree for next Friday (the bonus is in on Thursday). We're not talking Wall Street banker-type money, mind, but it's still a good amount so yay! I deserve it, dammit.

3 1/2 hrs in line (most of that outside in the cold and wind), but I got my hardcover 1st Ed. A GAME OF THRONES signed by George R. R. Martin! Also, met the man, he was very gracious!

I take it you didn't ask him why he saw it fit to make Dany and Tyrion boring and put the ADWD ending into the next book?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

There were SO many people there that they weren't letting anyone really ask him anything. He just sign, you'd thank him and move on.

I was dreading having to go to see a family friend of Mrs. QT's tonight who will be getting us a deal on a new bed...but she has assured me that I don't have to go (as long as I don't mind her picking out a mattress) and can stay home and relax (since I've not had a lot of time to do that the last few weeks)...so that makes me happy.

Only the Irish can properly celebrate. The rest of us must watch them in wonder, and wonder: "how do they do it?"

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....
