Stuph, various
Apr. 15th, 2004 08:30 pmGot my taxes done today (yes, I procrastinated until the last minute, but at least I don't have to wait in line to drop anything off). Good thing is that I'm getting refunds from both the federal and state returns, so it shouldn't be too big of a deal if my return is rejected (for whatever reason). Plus, as it turns out, the filing company I used (which I also used last year) has, for the second year in a row, offered free electronic filing of federal and state taxes to active-duty military personnel.
"American Idol" update -- Hawaiian idol contender Jasmine Trias is still in! I had thought that her performance last night was good, but it wasn't spectacular, and I seriously wondered if she would advance to the next round. A couple of other contenders who were decent singers but really didn't have the stage presence landed themselves in the bottom 3. Jasmine actually escaped being in the bottom 3, so it looks like she's definitely getting a following in Hawaii and across the rest of the U.S. Then again,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
krag_carbine told me that when he got back and gave a flower pick (an artificial flower that you can wear in your hair) to his wife, people were asking her where she got it from. Apparently they're watching the show and know who the once-"mystery" girl was... I wonder if they're voting for her, too... :) Speaking of which, I managed to get some 7 or 8 votes in myself last night. Annoyingly, though, T-Mobile's lines are not cut out for this kind of dialing. I kept getting an "all circuits are busy" message all the way up until voting ended.
In other news... I'm hosting another fur, whose mate is also staying at my place... but other than providing crash space and the occasional interaction when we're all in the apartment at the same time, I'm probably going to leave them alone, for the most part. Experience has taught me that, even if invited, you do not try to tag along with a person and their significant other, UNLESS there is at least one other person along. Otherwise it ends up being more like "three's a crowd."
Anyway, that's it for tonight... got some errands to run, then it's SSDD (same $#!+, different day) tomorrow....
