What was the last thing you bought?

[Widdykats]

^ In New York, it would cost more, 'cause they'd call it "distressed"!

[QOAL]

^ Which is what you'll feel when you see the price. :P

[Widdykats]

^ Nah! In all honesty, I get my hair done very infrequently. Then, I want it done well. I can't wear long hair 'cause it's fine hair and looks dreadful too long. Medium short looks right on me! I'm "over" distressed clothes.

Window blinds for my mom. She wanted them for mothers day. Unfortunately, I took her word for how wide the windows are. At least she was an inch over, instead of an inch too small.

That's with all wireless off, 30% brightness, etc. The battery meter has shown 7 hours, which most people can get with light usage. It's gonna be nice for trips.

I measure 5 times, knock something up out of cardboard, then procrastinate on going to the hardware store til the point I forget my measurements and fuck it up anyway .

I highly suggest his Repairman Jack series. Jack is my fucking hero.

Repairman Jack is a self-titled "fix-it" man, but not in the common workshop sense. He is something of an underground mercenary, hired by everyday people to fix situations that cannot be dealt with through legal means (e.g. by blackmail). He is careful about who he agrees to do fix-its for, preferring innocent, desperate citizens being victimized with no one else to turn to. These fix-its usually begin simply, but grow into complex problems that begin to involve more and more sci-fi & supernatural elements as the novels continue. The second novel, Legacies, is the only one that is completely free of any overtly supernatural elements.

All of Jack's fix-its are immediately relevant problems in today's world, covering topics such as conspiracy groups, grassroots movements, designer drugs, public shootings, terrorists, legal dealings and scientific & biological experiments. Jack relies on his brain, wits, experience and real-life weapons and techniques to do battle, and though he makes increasing use of supernatural sources of information (a spiritual medium, an indestructible tome of unknown age), he has so far not used supernatural weapons or abilities in battle.

Jack hides his identity from the government by not voting, paying taxes, opening bank accounts, registering guns or cars, or doing anything else that will leave a paper or electronic trail. He uses a TracFone to leave untraceable calls, demands cash only for payment, and stashes his savings in gold coins in his apartment. He consistently wears gloves or wipes surfaces in order not to leave behind traces of his identity. He advertises his services strictly by word of mouth and via an anonymous website.

I'm guessing there are loads of people in the states that do. Quite amazing to me how much people get into it. Not my cup of tea, but much better than some things I see people doing with their free time.
