My first CATA semester bus pass expired today. Its little sleeve thingy has been a real trooper. It’s made of a thick rubbery plastic, whereas the clear bit in the front is already shredding. The pass itself looks as well-loved as it is, and I think I’m going to keep it. The whole thing will survive as a bookmark for now, and possibly be framed in the future.

This article (WARNING – PROFANITY), which delineates 20 things gamers want from the next generation of gaming consoles, gets me all riled up to write a storyline for a video game. What happened to our TF proposal, ? Anybody out there with the programming knowledge (and/or friends with such) that would code and put together a video game? I’m certain that I could come up with some killer stories. Thanks to for the link.

raises a good point about Buddy’s crate. Also, has alerted me that another hat exists. I still think I want to patch the one I’ve got, but they should both know (along with ) that they helped to cheer me.

The last of the barbecue chicken from the visit to the TWP is now being microwaved. is a rockin’ griller. We brought Buddy with us, and he behaved well (if hyperactive) the whole time he was there. He -really- wanted to be able to run all around that huge back yard.

My back seems to be adjusting to my loss of weight. I find myself feeling taller, and says that I am standing up straight more consistantly. I don’t doubt it, because my back feels like -something’s- going on with it. It’s popping often (feels good) and aches when I sit or stand too hunched over. Pleasant communication from my body.

I think that I should finish the chicken, wash some dishes, and then head out to either Theio’s or Gone Wired to do some studying.
