The "crap" part is... long and complicated and not something I want to get in to. So. Yeah.

But.

I found out something awesome today.

I'm gonna be an auntie. My big brother Mike's wife Sarah is pregnant. They've been trying for about two months. It's going to be a little boy, and they're thinking Tyse for the first name. Which is adorable and I already want to call him Ty-kun just to annoy my brother. xD

I'm so excited! Mike is nearly 40 now, so I'm really glad he's going to be able to start his family.

Ieee I'm gonna be an auntie! *SQUEAL*

Jury duty, man... what a weird experience. Even if you DON'T get picked the process alone is defiantly a change up from anyone's usual day.

But I got picked.

Yes, that's right. Me. I was a juror for a whole two days, waking up at hours I haven't been awake for in months, going to sit through a case and listen to evidence and testimony and in the end I along with five other people decided the fate of another person.

I wish I could say that the case was something big, but obviously by the admittance of 'two days' you all can probably tell that it was a minor case at best. But it WAS typical Eugene weird, that's for sure.

Still, this was some one who honestly deserved it and I'm glad it ended the way it did.

So here's a run down of it.

Attention F-List.

Pumpkin.

That is all.

Reiko some how managed to escape last night, while everyone was sleeping, either after Taco left for work or before. Either way I wasn't woken up by the usual feel of a tiny cat crawling on me desiring her usual morning dry food. I didn't realize anything was wrong until about 45 minutes ago.

We tore the house apart looking for her, but we didn't hear her bell and she didn't come to her bag rattling. Of course if she's outside she's not going to. She's a, go figure, timid feral-born cat who actually LIKES going outside and sniffing around, but probably got a bit too far this time and is now scared and hiding and refusing to come out.

J gave me some good pointers on trying to lure her back home, but it was hard to listen to anybody until I managed to calm down some. I only stopped crying about ten minutes ago.

I'm going to try sitting outside with food tonight like the missing kitty website suggested. If she's not back by Monday we're probably going to have to call some one to try trapping her, because I'll be leaving Wednesday morning for Portland.

Could this summer get any worse?

Technology is trying very hard to make me hate it.

After getting a new charger for Taco's laptop after the universal one we got two months ago died suddenly, I managed to sit down, open a jar of face cleanser... and drop liquid down my keyboard on MY laptop. It freaked out, stopped booting properly, and now won't turn on at all.

Its sitting in a corner with the hope that if I leave it alone tonight it will start working again. If not... well, it IS under warranty, but fuck man...

I do still have the old clunky desktop GlaDOS who is still virus ridden but has a work around that lets me run firefox and trillian. Probably others but I'm not going to chance it. Most of my school work is on my thumb drive for the moment, I'll just have to do work at school.

I'm so frustrated about all this that I could cry.
