Pill thing seems to be working fuh-fuh-fuh-fine. This new level of alertness will take some getting used to.

Yeah. What was I talking about? STOP LOOKING AT ME!

Went to the local Amtrak office to see about buying a train ticket. While the building is opened -- the train station is used for function space, and restaurants move in and out -- the ticket office's hours are, and I am not making this up, Midnight to 6:30 a.m.

I bought the ticket online.

Icon love.

Also, no freakin' wonder that Amtrak doesn't get enough passengers.

I'm sure there must be some frenetic activity suitable for your new pill schedule.

Auctioneering, perhaps? (Watch Ann at the next MWC art auction, talking a mile a minute, like those farm auctioneers!)

I would suck at auctioneering. "Look, will you just goddamn bid already? And stop with this dollar shit! It's fucking insulting, you fucking fuck!"

Though it'd be pretty funny if Paula came out with that one year for ten seconds, then reverted back to character.

LOL I'd love to see Paula do that. The dollar shit is stupid, from a bidding pov: it only allows people to bid even more, because they think "oh, it's just one more dollar. I can do that." Plus it takes for-freakin'-ever. Too much suspense for my taste.

Smart bidders (like me ::buffs nails on shirt::) figure out what they can manage to spend on a piece, and bid up to that limit in 2-5 bids, preferably in $25-50.00 increments. That way it wastes no-one's time, the suspense is over with quickly for me, and if I don't win (people can frequently outbid me), I know I've made the winning bidder pay for the privilege of owning the item. Ebay's bidding system pisses me off, because there's no way around their minimal-incremental bidding system that I can figure out (mind you, I've not bid on much there).

The minimal-increment system is handled by eBay's computer -- it doesn't mean you have to bid at those increments. Bid what you're willing to pay, and it'll all sort itself out at auction's end.

Yeah, that's what I do.

Where you going?

The place men call Denver.

*nods* I remember from your MWC journal (so very long ago...) the time your picture of Eddie was up for bid and someone kept doing it a buck at a time..."Doody-five!"

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Oh, God, I hated that woman so much...

Still have Eddie, though. Hee.

You need to make some Eddie icons. Seriously.
