the maw of Fafnir

I'm looking for someone who knows someone in White Rock, Canada (or who could drive to White Rock) who'd be willing to pick up some chairs for me and then either ship them to me or hold them until I can finagle a way to pick them up.

Conversely, if someone knows where I can find a set of 4 blue/birch Roger Ikea chairs, that would also work. :)

Happy birthday, shadowyvern!!!!!

Anybody got any moving boxes they want to give me?

..Anyone?

Looking for apartments is really frustrating, especially if you're narrowed down to the Haight area of San Francisco during summer...

I need to buy an external hard drive so I can get some free space on my computer.

Anyone got any thoughts on external hard drives? Manufacturers to buy or stay away from? Size to get? I will probably buy mine from newegg.com to avoid the sketchy return policies of Fry's...

Dear Immune System,

I thought we'd reached a compromise, signed a treaty, made nice with one another. I thought we were done letting foreign germs inundate my body, requiring at bare minimum drugs of three different types. I thought we had moved on to the typical a-bit-groggy-until-coffee wake ups. I thought for sure we'd moved past the bone-achy sniffly headache stage. But I see now that I was wrong.

I know there have been some slip ups on my side. I know I'm not getting as much sleep as I should, and I'm stressing more than my fair share. That is no reason to keep me up at 3am, shivering in bed when my apartment is a balmy 70 degrees, I'm wearing my warmest PJs, two pairs of socks, and a sweatshirt, and am curled under two comforters. I recognize that it's just above freezing outside and my apartment has a giant window, but for serious, Immune System, this needs to stop.

If I pledge to you to make sure I get at least 8 hours of sleep a night for the rest of the week, can you guarantee that the achy muscles and shivering cold will stop? I'm even willing to compromise on the congestion and headache -- after 8 years of migraines + allergies, I'm used to it.

I am waiting with literally bated breath for your response.

No love,
Me

I saw this somewhere, and was amused.
