I Am Jacks Wasted Life

Sometimes being a perfectionist isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

OK, so I have literally spent weeks trying to finish some stupid new years meme. It’s included in the extended text of this entry… but it’s not finished! Nor will it be! I am moving on!

Speaking of, I have gotten to Wizard and Glass, so at least one of my quasi-resolutions is on track! I’m also pretty damn pumped about my new cellphone! As you probably noticed on the right-hand side of this here browser window is my flickr badge. I’ll try to keep it interesting.

Other than that not much is happening but it is again Winter Carnival time so please lemme know what you think of the following clues!

Today's Clue -- January 26, 2005

The siren calls, the giant falls

'Tween field generals the poet sings

That down beyond the once blue pond

Is treasure fit for kings

Clue #3 -- January 25

Be safe and we pledge, neither cliff nor water's edge

Figures in your hunting pursuit

What's that you hear? Please, have no fear

It was there before we moved in

Clue #2 -- January 24

Snow we have missed much, this not very white Christmas

But the ice has come to stay

The water's quite frozen at this park we have chosen

Along its paths you may while time away

Clue #1 -- January 23

The old curmudgeon was in high dudgeon

When a critter ran off with the loot

But this year to be credible, we've made it inedible

And stuck it in a park 

				

Raven & I went for a stroll on Sunday, and we happened upon a few Open Houses that we wish we could expunge from our brains. 505 Selby Ave #14 was the one that most caught my eye. There was another one across the street that Raven liked just a little bit more. (We imagine the cats would love it.) It had a spiral staircase and a very open floor plan, with some exposed brick to boot. Then I had to go and notice this listing in Marina City in Chicago. Dangit! We’re not ready to move yet!

<grumble>
