Happy Birthday to Bucktown Tiger!

My new Blue Snowball microphone arrived today. The picture included with the e-mailed shipment notice showed the package was accidentally left on my neighbor's porch.

I found work substitutes for RMFC weekend. I received one of the items I ordered for the convention and I'm waiting on two more items (one for the con and one for home.) UPS shows one of the packages was shipped to Colorado Springs on the morning of the 17th and was "out for delivery." Two days later, the package was scanned in Buffalo, NY. The estimated delivery date was revised to the 24th. I need to get a haircut this week since it's been about four months since the last one.

Is it just me, or would the theme to "Curb Your Enthusiasm" make the worst background music for a porn film?

So, UPS e-mailed me back to say when a package is delivered to an apartment (as my latest DVD was), it's dropped off at the leasing office when the recipient isn't in. I hope it's there. I'm fed up with the delays I've had to deal with in this case.

Note to office supply stores: When selling an assortment of cardboard mailing boxes, offer sizes that actually fit in mailboxes. I was looking for a 4 x 4 x 8-inch box, but the closest I could find was a 6 x 6 x 12. I needed to mail two of these boxes, but both won't fit in my home mailbox and neither will fit in a public mailbox. I'll need to (ick!) stop by the post office later today to drop them into the giant mailbox there.

I rescheduled my next Visa payment for March 5th so I could make a MasterCard payment tomorrow. I wanted to have money available for a date. I also scheduled a second MC payment for next week so I can (hopefully) pay for the pre-cruise package.

One of the banner ads I've been seeing on this site lately is a quiz asking which state is the furthest east. It's kind of a trick question because Maine would be the furthest east if you measure from the geographic center of the U.S., but Alaska is furthest east if you measure from the Prime Meridian (some of the Aleutian Islands cross into the Eastern Hemisphere.)
