Whew. Spent way too much of today wrestling with tax forms; it was super complicated for me this year, I had to file a nonresident return for a very tiny amount of money earned in CA, so I had to figure that out, and then do my regular NY taxes and get a credit on that for paying CA, and.....UGH. It sucked. And I'm still not sure I did it right, but it LOOKS right, I think, so fuck it, I'm sending it in and they can come after me if I'm wrong. Many thanks to
anxietygrrl for helping me out with it all today. I'm kind of bummed because I was hoping to do some clutter combat today, but getting those taxes done is a huge relief, so I'll take it.
Not much else going on. I was fortunate enough to see
mabfan and
gnomi yesterday; they were in town for the day and stopped by my office, so we got to chat a bit. It was great to see them. And
oeilade and I had dinner at a
hot new restaurant and it was yummy. Also, disorienting because the restaurant used to be a Pizzeria Uno and they kept the flooring and a lot of the wall tile. So it felt like Uno, but different. It was weird. And I made the devastating discovery that the Ben & Jerry's nearby, which had been there FOREVER, was CLOSED. WTF? What kind of world do we live in where a Ben & Jerry's can't stay open? It is SO WRONG. It will probably be replaced by a bank or a nail salon. Manhattan is dying, I swear to god. Sigh.
Although I would never want to give him the publicity this t-shirt would provide, this
I Blame Spencer tee makes me giggle.
Geeks love cake!
Here's a great video of all the different geeky cakes the author has found on the internet. So much fun, take a peek.
81% of the country thinks we're moving in the wrong direction. It's always disorienting to me to be in the majority on something. ;)
Those Girls Next Door get paid. Damn.
There's going to be a season two of Tila Tequila? Why am I not surprised? I love how now with these shows we don't even pretend that they're really going to find love, it's just all about keeping the franchise going.
I had planned on taking a break from apartment hunting this weekend, but one of the brokers I saw last weekend called and said he has a couple of places he wants to show me, so why not. Hope springs eternal.
Wow, this post is boring. Sorry about that.
