I am currently downloading binaries that are far too large in alt.test.

Weekend was good, not enough writing. Far too nervous about my class.

Today was very, very odd. picked me up and took me to class. I had actually had enough time to shave and clip my fingernails this morning. I got to class about ten minutes late, but I got there. The prof is a REL prof, which just happens to be my major. So much for university required. MU HA HA!

Class ended early (the only time that it would, the prof assured us), so I walked from Engineering down to the College Store, near work. Ow. Ow ow ow ow. My ankles killed. They’re better now. I really should get some inserts for them, especially if it’s going to be some time before I can get my car fixed.

is going to pick me up from work. He rocks.

I start learning Kung Fu on Sunday, May 26th. Diggity. By then, I’ll have my routine down with class and work, so I should be able to balance a third. Heh.

I really need to find a way to get my car fixed. *SIGH* I’ll probably have to ask the parentals for cash… AGAIN…

My car’s “volts” battery light came on. I figured, hey, it’ll make it home. The radio flickered in and out, losing its presets. Then the car kept rebooting, I shit you not. It would start turning off (not stalling out… the speedometer and the other dials would go all the way to zero) then catching and turning on again. I got as far as my exit.

I had a nice, refreshing walk in the rain from the exit to my apartment. I got to see some schweet lightning, and enjoy the cool rain. Also, two very cute girls in a Saturn stopped and said they’d seen my car and wanted to know if I wanted a ride. I don’t know why, but I said no thank you and that my apartment was right down the road. They asked if I was sure, and I said that yes, and I needed the walk anyway. They left, waving and wishing me a good night. I wished them the same and grinned.

That was when the first lightning strike lit up the sky.

My leather trench coat is now well-tested for wet weather, and it beats the canvas one hands down. I am all wet (at least my head and the front of me, as the coat was open) and red in the face and alive and glowing and flushed. I feel really good.

So, I’ve quickly and efficiently plowed through every project put in front of me today. Bam, bam, bam. Done. Oh, and I was actually on time. Something is clearly wrong.

Oh, and Blodgett handed an angry letter to his CEO. He frenzied, and since he’s clearly not a Pooka, fled to Chili’s with me for lunch. I really shouldn’t be spending 10 bucks a pop for lunch, but it’s nummy damnit.

I’m spending my entire weekend writing. This is going to be good. I’ve just come up with a good reason for the compiled pieces, and will just need to figure out a way to make each part of the story as unique as someone who isn’t involved, yet has a personal story of their own that touches with the characters’ at that instant. Hrm.

Today, after work, I’m going to watch Anime until my brain implodes. Or, until the DVD is over at 21st Century.

If I can’t get a replacement stereo today, I’m going to go in and insist they upgrade me for half of the price. I’ve PAID for a stereo and CD player, I want what I paid for.

Sending out the tuition bill today. Paid rent and late fee yesterday. Have to wait for those, and the debt payment, to clear before I know exactly how much money I have for exhaust repair.

More to come.

I’ve just confirmed recent payment schedule and amounts with the lawyers that own my credit card debt.

Thanks to a loan from my parents, tuition is taken care of.

Rent will be paid today.

I paid 86 bucks to get my driver’s license and license plate renewed.

Somehow this is working out, thanks to eating at home instead of eating out. Who’da thunk it.

I’m not nearly as angry as I was yesterday. I have Code Red. I dug DJ ‘s set last night (the one I got to listen to). Newsgroup posts all eventually revolve around the same discussions, and are getting old. I still like cheese. My idea for a fiction storyline has developed another step. And it’s quite a step. Oddly enough, the inspiration came from Cho Cho. Will the wonders never cease.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
