I haven't posted in so...

nobody@vox.com(Ericka) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 23:28:58 -0500

I haven't posted in so long that I actually needed Ben to help me. Anyway, in my new quest for athleticism, I've been nursing a few injuries. Instead of sympathy, I only hear "rub some dirt on it" or "you gotta play through the pain." hotrod got the same advice. I couldn't remember where it originated until Ben kindly reminded me tonight.

QotD: Can't Stop Listening to...

Today is Repeat Day, so we want to know: what song do you have currently have on repeat? Bonus points if you share it with us!

16 Girls Like Status

The Hold Steady

I have a problem. In one album form or another, The Hold Steady has not left my car CD players since last July. I had a brief fling with the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, but then it was right back to The Hold Steady. I'm not sure how to stop or if I even wat to.

Blackhole

nobody@vox.com(Ericka) — Sun, 17 May 2009 10:20:38 -0500

Our internet modem is broken.We have to wait until Monday to swap it since there aren't any places open on the weekends. I'm not sure why Comcast doesn't have emergency places available to swap these things on weekends, but it sucks. Many people, mostly those who are not my family, don't understand the importance of internet access. I would rather give up cable and my phone then be without internet. I get all my news and do all of my communicating via the world wide web. Needless to say, I've been lost for the last 24 hours without connecting. I have no idea what's going on in the world, on Vox, or on Facebook. Apparently, my sister lost her job and my mafia is getting their asses kicked. We are resigned to hitting up free wi-fi or sneaking onto the neighbors when available to get a little fix. Tomorrow will bring a new modem and a reconnection to the world, but for today, I'm stuck in blackhole, having to rely on other means of communication and the TV news.

Update: Apparently there is a place to get a modem on the weekend. Yep. It's called Best Buy. We purchased a new modem (avoided the future rental fees) and are now fully connected.

What's the best part about living with a roommate? Worst?

Someone else to do the dishes, I still have to do all the laundry.
