So I come into our living room to put my boots on this morning and turn on the light. Woah! My brother is on the couch, and groggily greets me. We chat a little bit, and I let him know how my cow-orkers are asking about more Revenge of Terrible Tuesday. I love helping one of his projects take off. He crashed again, and I took off for work. Just kind of a surreal start to the day. That, and I feel totally awake.

I actually wrote snail mail yesterday. I’m going to send it out today. It’s to her.

I’m a few steps closer to going back to Michigan State University. The Religious Studies department is cool with me joining them with the overall goal of changing to the College of Engineering and the Department of Computer Science. I’m going to spring it on my parents as a surprise. :) Now, the only nagging worry is about the repeat credits. So I’ve emailed the Reliigous Studies department about having those reset, and am anxiously awaiting the response.

Lunch with Blodgett was, as always, tasty and surreal. Perfect combination for a Friday before my game.

I’m thinking of spending my bonus on a Mac laptop. GUI and BSD and Apple, oh my! Ok, that was dumb. It had to be done.

Hope my car passes the “drive to d-town test” since its repairs. We shall see!

Friday: My game.

This weekend, February 23rd and 24th: Heading down to the Detroit area. Planning on harassing Jakubowski, , , The Tie, , and other Rochester peeps. Hopefully with the bro as well. Rochester peeps and bro don’t know about it yet tho. I also plan on attending the LARP at the Labrynth on Sunday night, where I’m seriously crossing my fingers to run into . :)

Next weekend, March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd: Heading to Ohio with to see all of those Ohio peeps. That is, if I can find a place to crash for the both of us. Can we, please, ? Can we? :)

Here are a bunch of old pics of me, and a few recent ones. I recently realized I didn’t have a link to any real pics of me any more on my page, save my webcam. I’m going to have to arrange these in a photo album sort of layout soon.

I’m playing around with Mozilla. I have officially declared it “nifty”. It may soon enter the realm of “diggity”, but it needs to survive through a bit more first. I seriously dig tabbed browsing. I also have to give them props for attempting to integrate an IRC client.

My Dad is due here around 5:00, so I took a lunch today. Went to Denny’s with and had some good conversation (nobody goes to Denny’s for good food…heh). I talked with her about some decisions that I’m making. Better to roll with what life throws at me than to crumble.

Goth Odyssey is tonight at Spiral, gonna go and meet some friends there. Today is shaping up to be good.

Well, I’m off to Mozilla’s site to find out about some kind of Java bug that I’ve been noticing. Won’t install properly… sonsabitches…

My tax check hasn’t come yet. My dad is coming by later today to float me a loan for the car repairs until the tax check comes in. I have phenominal parents. So I get my car back today.

In twenty minutes, I expect my brain to shut down in self-preservation. Training for our local phone service, and most likely attempting to upsell it, will send me into shock, and I will reel from contemplating selling people things that they don’t need or want. It’s a good thing I’ve refused to upsell. Not part of my damn job. I could never respect myself upselling anything….

AOL Time Warner can suck my balls. Yes, once more, I am fiending for a Trillian patch. Or for some of my AIM-only friends to switch messengers. I do really wish that other IM clients supported buddy icons and that my parents would use some other ISP, even if it’s not the company I work for.

scared me into reading the license agreements on software I use. I think I need to pay attention more in general, anyway.

makes me smile, especially when she posts.

Jack’s Auto just called. They finished working on my car. Early. Way early. And they said it was even cheaper than they expected. $585 even. And no, my tax return check isn’t here yet. Now would be the time for me to start biting my nails. If anybody wants to lend me six hundred bones, I’m good for it on Friday at the latest. Heh, yeah right.

Pizza House is on the way. Yummy.
