what has transpired in the world of personal finance? much. i have recently opened a cd ladder with maturities ranging from 6 months to a year. locking in the interest rates this late in the game might be a rash move, but who knows? there's still a chance that rates could drop. however, as long as my accounts are fdic insured and i'm in no need of immediately liquid assets, i'm good to go. also, i went through the abject frustration of setting up an online bill payment for one of my credit cards. awful, awful system. i still have no clue as to the effectiveness of the payment system or the veracity with which my wishes are carried out, but i have no choice. also, due to circumstances imposed upon me by both time and the wired, i can't do anything but wait until monday. will funds clear? will everything be settled? what happens to the paper bill? whatever...regardless, like i said, i can't do anything until monday.
what kind of mailman doesn't deliver your mail because someone parked a car in front of your mailbox? i don't know if that's the case exactly this time around, but our carrier has been known to complain about the cars being parked too close to the mailbox a few times before. what a pissy little shite. damnit, in rain, sleet, snow and all that other horseshit, the usps carrier is supposed to deliver the goddamn mail. just because you don't want to get out of your seat in your mailtruck to reach a few feet to open the mailbox, doesn't mean you get to skip the house completely. jackass.
i believe i need to shave. i've let my facial hair grow a little these past two weeks and i don't know if i necessarily like it. i don't mind it, it's just that i don't know if i actually like it. oh well. also, my hair is starting to get longer again as well. i don't feel like getting a haircut or paying any money or any of that crap. so, it looks like we'll be having another long streak of months where no clipper, scissors, or razor will get anywhere near my raven locks.
the year's almost over already. 2008 went by very fast. too fast. but that's ok. better that than excruciatingly slow.

Our mailman was threatening to stop delivering our mail because the snow plows were piling snow up around the boxes. He could still get to them, he just had to get out of his car.
And damn did 2008 go by fast. It just dawned on me there's only a handful of weeks left in the semester. Maybe just about a month. I don't think I've had a year go so fast.
seriously, this year has defintely flew by. true, better than being slow. but at the same time, it would be nice to catch all the little things~
It was done pretty quick; I've almost been on this horror island for a year now.
