brain drills & home shows & Eeriecon

Our friend Scott, newly married.

There is construction going on in the condo unit above. It sounds like they're drilling through concrete...and into my brain, grinding into my bones, setting my nerves on edge. Even my sound-block headphones can't block out this unbelieveably irritating noise.

So I'm taking my laptop and going to find someplace else to do my writing this afternoon.

I've uploaded photos from our thrilling visit to the Home Show to my Flickr photo album, including a bizarre fishbowl toilet seat and a mega-jacuzzi-torture-device. There were some interesting exhibits but to be honest, visiting the Home Show was like clothes shopping for me...interesting for the first 15 minutes, but then my brain spasms and my eyes glaze over.

THE NOISE IS DRIVING ME NUTS. Must go. But first, here are a few links:

Ta-Da List: Free to-do lists. I'm starting to keep some lists here, plus a shared "Filkcontinental To-Do" list with Allison and Jodi.

Canoe Lake Ice-Out: The only Web page that Jeff actively maintains. Every year, a bunch of us try to predict when the ice will go out on the lake at the cottage. My prediction was April 22nd, but looks like I'm way too early. Happily so, since I plan to attend Eeriecon and hangin' with Mark Osier and the Dorsai Irregulars this weekend as well as visiting with Rand and Erin.

Fleeing now.

36 more days until the house is ours.
