today's journal update is about Noch. since the roommate caught some good photos of him and he apparantly took one himself.
usually when I get home from work in the morning, Noch has been out all night...bein' a cat and whatnot. so when I pull up he usually comes running up to go inside, eats some food and does whatever while I clean up and...

ok. so back from the dreaded day with family. it wasn't so bad after all. still more than a bit surreal. I saw my oldest cousin, whom I remember playing with when I was a kid..he's about 9 years older than me. last time I saw him was 9 years ago or so (so he was my age then) and his wife was pregnant with...

Yeah, families are totally weird.

And that's the type of overtime I'm performing...the type I'm not getting paid for. Bleh!

Did you say med school? My father would have been so happy to hear that.

well I survived the ride to and from Austin. it was actually kinda fun in a gee-I-coulda-died-but-didn't kind of way.
the weather was actually on my side and cleared up for the ride up and back. the only real problem was the 20-30mph crosswinds that kept trying to push me off the road. didn't even really have problems with other drivers.
Sunday night was great...

*ears perk up* sex? I heard sex? heh just kidding..yeah I can understand that..I was in quite the bitchy mood the other night for something a friend said and just the fact that, that day sucked ass.
hope nobody's read this journal cause I'm calling do-over.
back from two days off at work that went....well they just kinda went. having Sunday's and Monday's off means not much to do as far as going out and the weather was not good for riding. random intermintent thunderstorms. was good, however, for staying in with cat and coffee and alcohol (one bottle red wine, one...

bleh! I want this allergy sinus congestion explosion whateverthefuck to go away now. It's been horrendous the last couple of days. It's felt like my sinus cavity has been doing a reenactment of the compactor scene from Star Wars IV.
and it, combined with the various chemicals I've been ingesting to stop it, have made me alternately drowsy and woozy and feverish.

ok...so Friday the 13th it snowed for all of three hours here in San Antonio. WEIRD.
the rest of the weekend went spleningly..."splendingly" I think I meant to say splendidly. pfah.
anyhow the very next morning, being St. Buymesomethingtoshowmeyouloveme Day (oooh is that bitterness I smell? nah, man it's this aftershave...I don't wear aftershave) dawned bright and sunny with not a cloud in the sky...

I hope you are proud of those pix! I think they are very good. I especially like the quesiton mark image on your bathroom door! I also liked the chaps! Nice move!
it's....snowing?!?!? wtf.
Friday the 13th indeed.
somehow it amazes me to remember every year that Valentine's Day is actually the anniversary of the day I headed out to boot camp. since I don't have a date for Valentine's (working anyway...at a hotel
) maybe I should just do a whole bunch of pushups and 8 count body builders instead?
cleaned up my friends list a...

It is just wrong for it to snow in Texas. I'm glad I was down at the beach, even if it was too cold to enjoy it. It was sunny and pretty.
Sorry you have to work so much at night, but I'm glad you're getting things done that you like to do. This is always good.

Been away for a bit. lots of really real world intuding on my life.
Spent the weekend up at Ft. Hood having an alternatingly fun/miserable time. MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) training in a cinderblock town. Rat-a-tat-tat firing blanks out of my M249 SAW, practicing building entry via window and room clearing. Then spending the nights outside on the ground wrapped in a...

Thanks for the birthday wishes! If you can ride, GO DO IT!!! Yeah, I'm a bit jealous, but I was the idiot who agreed to move to New England, so I have to wait for the occasional snowless day.
