Good News/Bad News (mostly good)

Good news: My parents switched ISPs to one that is cheaper. They decided to bundle their phone, internet, and cable, because A) it saves them money, and B) doing so allows them to make long-distance calls to within the state(?!). Long-distance calls out of state? Fine. In state? No go. Also, they couldn't managed to get through the ridiculous automated phone system the previous company has instead of a real live person acting as customer support. The internet connection is also supposed to be faster, so yay for that.

Bad news: Nine times out of ten, I can't actually get the internet in my room. Which is where I spend quite a bit of time when I'm not at work, most of that (which is not sleeping) being on the computer. Surfing the internet. I am quite frustrated with this situation. Thankfully, my primary computer is a laptop that I can move upstairs with relative ease whenever the frustration gets to be too much, but this is still ridiculous. We've theoretically got actual cable television downstairs; an internet connection shouldn't be too much to ask for.

Good news again: Just in time to cheer me up, the ear cuffs redsixwing made for me in our art trade arrived this afternoon! I plan to show them off tomorrow like a machine built to show things off. (There should be a witty pop culture reference here, but I can't think of one at the moment. Someone else do it.) Pics forthcoming :3b

God and bad news: I have extra hours of work this week. Like, a lot more than usual extra. For the first time since I graduated, I will be working six days in a row. Unless Geeky Coworker convinces Boss that they don't actually need me on Saturday and/or to save my hours for later in the week, which would be a blessing. At least it's making up for those two weeks off earlier this month. *still peeved about that*

Good news closer: I've finished another two griffins, yay! Or, well, the one still needs yarn wrapped around the wires in its wings, but that's close enough, right? Right. I can have it finished at the end of the day tomorrow, latest. The unfinished one is my standard brown-with-yellow-eyes; the finished one is a white one with blue eyes and dark gray beak/forelegs, and it is a fantastic color combination, IMO. Pics of that to come soon as well. I'll try and aim for an amigurumi pic dump, in fact, complete with Yoshi and a yellow long-necked dinosaur - and maybe with the small children who received them as well!


Anyway, a few more internet things to do yet, and then it will be time to sleep, as I must be off early tomorrow.

Teen Wolf musings

So apparently sleep is actually going to wait a little longer? Worst plan, I must say. It must be because the internet has decided to work with me, at least for the moment.

Anyway.
