If our landlord think he's gonna try and sell us this house for $150,000 he's crazy. I know other houses in the area sell for that much, but they're in much better shape. So we're going to look into various options, such as realtors, appraisers (since our LL is too cheap to hire one of his own), and mortgage brokers. We have some connections at our church, so hopefully it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Still, keep those prayers a comin', those of you who do (and even those who don't).

I just finished reading the latest in the 'Princess Diaries' series, 'Princess in Training.' I like the movies, but the books are so much better. Besides, I really relate to Mia in the books (except for her facination with Britney Spears). She's as much of a geek as I am. But she tends to overreact more than I do. In one part, during a debate for Student Council President election, she makes an impassioned speech on the importance of anime! In fact, she goes "Give me anime or give me death!" Right on, sister.

So now I've started on the ST:NF anthology 'No Limits.' I shall be posting my opinion on [livejournal.com profile] stnf

I heard on the radio this morning about a guy in Wisconsin who rides his horse to school (where he teaches) in order to save on gas. It used to take him 10 minutes and now it takes about 3 to 4 hours. When asked how long he plans on doing it, he said until it gets too dark and too cold to do it. Whether or not he gets the desired reaction is up to debate. In fact, I don't think he did it for a protest, just for economics.

And on ATACT [livejournal.com profile] peleia is using my Dougan icon! I feel so pleased!

I've been taking some pics lately. Not of anything in particular. Mostly of stuff around the house. So, be prepared for a pic post sometime in the near future as long as my Image Transfer wants to cooperate.

And I successfully made the icon of Dougan I wanted. I'm fairly pleased with it. Some icons are more difficult than others depending on the image, but I'm getting better, I think.

Anyway, here it is:

Not too bad, I'd say. Next, I'm going to try and do something with Hotohori (no... not that, although the temptation is really great).

Today I take grandma to her volunteer thing. Depending on my schedule when I start working, she might have to find someone else to do it...

Tomorrow I have to take mom to her eye doctor's appointment. She won't be able to drive herself since her eyes'll be dialated. Hopefully she'll get eyeglasses that work a bit better this time. I might have to take her to her other appointment as well, depending on how her eyes are doing. Definitely a time to bring reading material along...

Today I'd like to try and write up a review for [livejournal.com profile] elantis' anime forum she set up. It's going to be on 'Saiyuki.'
