Bitch got fat!!!

Hearts to Harriet and Charlie for making my day on Friday and Saturday.

A real Carnival post will appear whenever I get around to it.

And, because once just isn't enough....

BITCH GOT FAT!


This may make me a bad person... but I'm okay with that. :)

almost

4 hours stand between me and Pittsburgh.

Carnival 2006, here I come!!!

All the cool people...

... will be in the Lead Truck on Raceday!!!

Apparently Chris and Matt (Sweepstakes Committee alums from the early 1990s) have decided to take a break from filming in the Lead and Follow Trucks this year (after 16 years!!! Those guys are rockstars). Arnold asked Janice to take on filming from the Lead Truck and she said yes! w00t.

All the cool people will be in the Lead Truck.

You know you're jealous.

(and if you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, you should still be jealous.)

Taxes

Sometimes taxes can be pretty stupid. Case in point: My taxes for 2005.

I had to pay taxes for:

• US Federal
• The State of New York
• The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
• The City of Pittsburgh
  
• The Commonwealth of Virginia.

I'm getting a Big-Ass (TM) refund from the Fed, and a decent sum from PA and VA. The City of Pittsburgh technically owes me $0.38, but since it's not even worth the postage, I won't have the pleasure of receiving a check for such a paltry sum. (w00t, I just used the word paltry).

Anyway, here's what's so dumb: I owe the State of New York $77! But I didn't work in the state, and only spent about 4 weeks there all year.

Now, I suppose I shouldn't be too upset, since I'm still ahead by a few thousand dollars. But it's the principle of the thing!

But just in case anyone was confused, I *still* <3 NY.

040506

It's April 5, 2006. 040506!!!! Little things like that make me happy. :)

So, what else is going on? Well, last Saturday was Anna's 24th birthday, and we had a little bash at a bar near Capitol Hill. Courtney drove down from Pgh, and it was really fun hanging out with her. Since the weather was cooperating so well last weekend, it also gave me an opportunity to wear my espadrilles for the first time (Misha, I promise to post a pic soon!). Anyway, a splendid time was had by all.

Last week I also found out that Anne will be working for one of Michigan's senators.... so she'll be living with me!!! Yay! Here's a floorplan of the apartment:Anne and I are going to have so much fun!!! All Zetas/Alpha Chi's are cordially invited to visit and cause some trouble with us. :) And there just might have to be some Fourth of July shenanegins!

There's a new episode of Lost tonight. Oh man... I love this show. What's your deal, Henry Gale? And what happened to Walt? And who's *really* the father of Sun's baby?!?!?!?!?!?! Sometimes I get frustrated when we don't get many answers for a lot of the story lines for several weeks or months. But then I remember that I watched the first season on DVD in a single weekend... and I get over it.
