Food is almost done.

Cooking for myself again. Yeah, it comes in spurts. Thanks to for urging me back this time. I really dig my stir fry and sticky rice combo. Knockout, beeeotch!

The design for the flyer and the business cards will be worked on right after dinner.

We are going to take this city by storm.

I can’t wait to go to my first appointment for this thing.

Frustrations

Frustrations with my government: here. Warning: Mild adult content.

Frustrations with computers: I can’t get my Mac to see a USB printer shared on Windows 98 SE. I can’t get my Windows box to see the same USB printer shared on Mac OS 10.2.

I finally got the file sharing to work, at least. Yay for local mp3 sharing!

Vagueness

It’s now time to dispel the vagueness and mystery that many of you have seen in my journal posts.

Right around noon today, I became one of three owners of a new business, Geeks Next Door. The web page will soon be here. This is REAL work. Four days of work and the three of us now have a company.

I will be able to quit sales soon after all. I have finally taken initiative.

Plus, the Ingham County seal has a cow on it.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Once the full impact of Einstein’s theory of relativity became clear, an admiring journalist interviewed him about the process by which he’d arrived at the revolutionary breakthrough. “How did you do it?” the journalist asked. “I ignored an axiom,” Einstein replied. Now let’s analyze that statement for your use, Taurus. Einstein didn’t say he’d ignored an opinion or theory, but rather an idea so well-established that it was regarded as self-evident. Furthermore, he didn’t say he rebelled or fought against the axiom: He simply acted as if it weren’t there. I suggest you follow his example exactly in the coming week.

“That’s fucking genius!”

Hey , I need to speak with your boyfriend. Is he awake during the day? Online, perhaps? I’ll let you in on all this vagueness and excitement if you can get me in touch with him quickly! ;)

I had a freak-out with relation to today. Because we’re up-front and honest, we worked through the bump that was primarily caused my my neuroses. Have I said how wonderful she is lately? Because she is.

, you have a letter in the mail. It’s sporty. , yours will be in the mail tomorrow. BTW, thanks for the pink paper. Ass. A joke was made about you keeping your pink paper aside just for me, and cycling through it. knows you SO well. :)

One month from yesterday.

Monopoly business cards.

I haven’t slept so well in months. Literally, months.

I haven’t been this personally motivated in years. About three and a half of them.

I’m ticking off the work checklist. And then I’m ticking off the real work checklist.

I still get a kick out of having an industrial m/ m/ kitchen table. You can SET FIRE to things on top of it.

I went shopping last night. And then I went grocery shopping. I’ll be finishing the real shopping with a trip to Sears and a trip to the MSU Computer Store. And then I need to go to Lansing’s courthouse and ask some questions.

No, I’m not going to explain. I’m being vague on purpose. Nyah-nyah!

I will roar again soon. This time, people will hear it.

Something in my work email this morning.

SAINTS ADRIAN and EUBULUS
Martyrs

(†308)

In the seventh year of Diocletian’s persecution, continued by Galerius Maximianus, Firmilian, the cruel governor of Palestine, stained Caesarea with the blood of many illustrious martyrs.  The Christians Adrian and Eubulus came from the region called Magantia to Caesarea, to visit the holy confessors there.  At the gates of the city they were asked as were all strangers, where they were going and upon what errand.  They spoke the truth, and were brought before the presiding officer.  He ordered them to be tortured, their sides torn with iron hooks, then condemned them to be exposed to wild beasts.  In the meantime they were imprisoned.

Two days later, for the pagan celebration of a festival of the local deity, Adrian was exposed to a lion.  The animal did not kill him, but only mangled him, and finally his throat was pierced with a sword.

The judge offered Eubulus his liberty if he would sacrifice to idols.  The Saint, however, preferred the glorious death of Christ’s true disciples, and two days later won the crown his companion had also conquered.  Saint Eubulus was the last to suffer in this persecution at Caesarea, which had continued for twelve years under three successive governors.  Divine vengeance was pursuing the third of those, the cruel Firmilian, who was beheaded for his crimes that same year, by the emperor’s order, as his predecessor had been two years before.
