According to LJ, I have not written anything here in six weeks. I think I've had a longer dry spell earlier, but still, that's pretty bad.
My luck with technology this year just keeps getting worse. Late last month while trying to purchase a new smoke detector, my debit card information was stolen by the so-called "Macedonia Elite Hackers." The bastards tried buying over $200 worth of cell phones and have them shipped to Stephen in New Jersey. Fortunately, Overstock.com thought it weird and cancelled the order and I got my card cancelled and replaced. Regardless, in the time I was without a debit card, life was a pain, at least when I needed to buy things. So, fuck you "Macedonia Elite Hackers" and Stephen of New Jersey!
Sam and Chris came up to visit the first of week of July and the four of us got to spend Independence Day together and watch several different fireworks displays all at once. Apparently explosive holidays are a big deal in Buffalo, since people were shooting things off for at least a week before the 4th and about a week after. The only downside about the visit was having to work too much and not having enough time to spend with friends.
This past weekend, Angie's little sister had her high school graduation party, thereby completing her last high-school-era rite of passage. It's kind of odd looking back and seeing how few of those I actually had. No big deal about getting a license or car, no prom, no graduation party. I was a weird child. Fortunately, I'm not like some people who try to have that high school experience after the fact. Maybe it's because I was mostly complicit in the lack of "mile-markers." And speaking of cars and whatnot, I also gave driving an automatic a shot this past weekend, borrowing Angie's grandmother's car. It was easier than the standard, though there was still quite a bit of anxiety involved. It's a step in the right direction, though.
Still working all the time, but I've had people requesting drawings and stuff from me, so I'm still able to have a bit of fun here and there. Look for stuff to start appearing online soon.
