I'm still here...

Despite what this may look like, I am not turning into Mark with regards to blogging. I've just been really busy at work and whatnot. So Christmas was fine, New Year's was fun. I learned that I can do things to hair, just not my own. I even learned to use hot rollers and a flat iron. I know, I used to fix my hair every day, but I did it with a curling iron. So now I know more. But I still can't do anything with mine. I'm thinking about cutting it off again. It's driving me crazy. And all the people I know with short hair look so adorable. So I could cut it and then it wouldn't take as long to dry, but I would have to fix it every day. I'm weighing my options.

Anyway, last week was very exciting, what with the caucuses and all. Super Tuesday is less than a month away. And while we watched the returns, Chuck Norris was very amusing to watch bobbling around behind Huckabee while grinning like an idiot(Chuck Norris being the one who was grinning like an idiot. I think it goes without saying that Huckabee always grins like an idiot. Oops, I just said it.). But we are not going to talk about my political views because then people get all upset. And of course, Stewart and Colbert returned to late night last night, so that was interesting. I was wondering how they were going to pull it off since they are both WGA members and so cannot write even for themselves, but it wasn't bad. It wasn't the same, but since it's an election year, having them back in any form is better than nothing. I like politics, but I also like watching the professionals make fun of politics. Although, since they didn't want to be there, it wasn't the same for more reasons than just the lack of writers. And I'm trying to understand where the line is between preparation and actual writing because some of the bits had obviously been set up ahead of time. If you know, please explain it to me.

Shannon and I never got our washer fixed, so all through the holidays I took my dirty laundry with me wherever I went. Which, since it was me and all, no one even seemed to think was strange. But last night her aunt brought us a new used one that works, so that was really cool. And I received two bills from Atmos for the apartment I haven't lived in in more than two months. So I called and apparently the just turned off the gas over there in my name in December. But they aren't charging me for anything because they went back and listened to the recording they made of my call and I did request that they turn it off back in October. The agent just failed to do so. So I get credit back from Atmos for the credit I already had with them that they had been using to pay that bill and we still got a month and a half of free gas from them since they set up the meter wrong at the new place. Bonus!
