TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 1997, Jody Williams won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work to persuade more than 100 countries to ban deadly land mines. When she held a press conference at the end of a dirt road near her Vermont farmhouse, she was barefoot and wore jeans and a tank top. It reflected the unassuming nature that had served her so well during years of dogged efforts to change the world. I nominate this ordinary hero to be your role model in the coming weeks, Taurus. According to my reading of the astrological omens, your gradual, matter-of-fact persistence will give you the power to make a fundamental improvement in the way your environment reflects your ideals.
No, not Klingon sex.
I spent a half hour with ice on the swollen cheekbone.
What have I gotten myself into? ;)

Did anybody else know that you could get an old PC Quake III Arena cd to work under OS X? Looks like id patches actually work pretty well. It’s smoother than my PC ever was. :)
The Quake III symbol is on my dock. So funky.

I got both of these results, and it asked me to pick one. Instead, I’m posting both:

My sphere is Soldier (Unity in Strength and Action), and my class is Champion (Self-Righteous and Confident). I am a Campaigner. You have the mark of the Campaigner upon you. You have strong, self-righteous beliefs, and people who share your ideals. Your strong presence leaves the mark of leadership upon your shoulders, and you probably find yourself being the one who carries the mantle of “Alpha” on his shoulders. |

My sphere is Guardian (Person of great Love and Altruism), and my class is Champion (Self-Righteous and Confident). I am a Hero. You are true heroic material. You find great motivation in the things you love, and great inspiration in your sense of self-confidence, and your excellence. Once you get your mind set on a goal, you are nearly unstoppable, and given enough time, you will meet it. |

Life is Change. Change in Life.
The job interview went exceedingly well. In fact, the guy is shuffling around the second interviews so that I can get one. He’s calling the three other applicants and delaying their interviews until I can get mine.
It’s full time, full benefits, starting at 40K a year. Starting. When it comes to the duties of the job, let’s just say it’s my absolute dream job. Complete and total use of my OCD and computer skills, in one job. There is only one issue.
Relocation to Saginaw would be an absolute necessity.
I cannot pass up this job. I just can’t. It’s too perfect. That, and the houses on fire less than half a block from the Wendy’s where I had my interview. So, I may need to snag you,
Fret.
DEMF
I think
Bah, humbug.
Good thing I’ve got that interview on Saturday. My boss just let me know that he wants to start lowering my salary and increasing my commission. Guilt-free interview, coming right up!
Accumulation of Stuff
Yesterday, I aquired stuff. A DVD player. An R/F Modulator. Blade on DVD. But, let’s start from the beginning.
While at Theio’s, we received a call from
After this, we intended to set up the previously-mentioned electronic goodness, but
Once we left
So, Mongolian BBQ rocked, as per usual, especially as empty as it was that late. Then
