Then I had a great big lightbulb. I decided to see if I could put to good use all those hours of my life I’ve wasted on the Internet. So here’s my challenge to you-LiveJournalers, Tweeps, Farkers, Kossacks and Facebookers:
If you are in a position to do so, if education has put you in a position to do so, donate two bookbags/backpacks and supplies to go in each. A Google search for “school supply donations” returned about 1,930,000 results. I’m sure you can find an organization to accept your donation. Or if shopping just isn’t your thing, donate $32. Show me the power of the Internets for good. I dare you.

To the driver of the black sports sedan that cut off the #4 bus at 6th and Hennepin at about 7:45 this morning:
You are an ass. You do not make a right turn from the middle right lane, cutting in front of a bus. If the bus driver hadn't been remarkablly attentive and reacted instantly, you'd be a fiberglass smear on Hennepin right now, which is what you rightfully should be. You're also DAMN lucky i didn't hurt myself when i went ass over teakettle damn near through the windshield, leanding in a heap in the stairs by the front door. I wouldn't have been pissed at the driver or Metro Transit. I'd have been pissed at YOU. god I wish the driver had gotten your license plate.

As you know, I spent last weekend packing. Last Monday after work I went to sign my lease. It should have been a red-letter day for me. Instead it was a disaster. The highlight (lowlight) of the evening was me tripping and doing a face-plant into the door of the #4 bus. Bloodied my nose and the whole bit. My left shin is still badly bruised and very sore.
I spent yesterday packing. I'm down to odds and ends now, the detritus that just gets thrown into a box labeled "stuff".
I'm really tired, but i'm so thankfully it's all coming together. I realized that the last three times I moved, I was working and going to school. No wonder I was so overwhelmed and exhausted. I mean, I'm pretty beat right now, but that's because it's almost done, and done in three days of effort.
I get my keys tomorrow after work. Then every Saturday and Sunday will be spent transporting. On the weekend of the 6th/7th, I'll have
surrealredmoon 's Mom's Chevy S10, and Jess and a Farker to help. The 20th is Furniture Day, and I'll be renting a UHaul. Heather is scheduled to come down from STC to help.The plan is for Furniture Day to be the day I transfer residence. That is, me, the cat, and all our shit will be moved. The weekend of the 27th/28th will be clean the old apartment weekend. Anyone local f-lister who gets bored and wants to help, just show up basically any weekend day after say 10 AM.
Yes, I was partially kidding. But only partially.

Why, you ask?
To protest the funeral of Sherry Engebretson, one of the victims of the 35W bridge collapse.
Yes, for real. For fucking real.

Right from the middle lane? What an ass. Not "Oh I missed it I'll turn around", it's "GOTTA GO HERE!!!!"
