The last step of the prank (Costas N. Cyclops) has visited. Now we wait for the wrapup.

Got a temporary repreive from some homework this weekend. There's more to do, of course, but nothing too nasty...

And, I'm excited for my build-a-bike class this weekend. We're learning about brakes.

In short, the wedding was fun. I don't get to see my extended family that much, and they've become way more tolerable now that I can drink with them. My brother and his wife certainly know how to pick a really great location for the wedding (shores of Lake Tahoe). I busted my ass and got the schoolwork done, so now I just have to...

Going out of town in a couple of days for a few days. My brother is getting married. Unfortunately, this comes at a bad time for me. I wonder if I can convince him and his fiancee to move the wedding to, say, December?

Not a double entendre:
-The melons that my co-op has been giving me this year are really tasty.

Double entendre:
-YOUR melons are really tasty, baby. Rowr.

On the one hand, the UA is really godawful about communication. On the other, I'm excited about the subject material for the second attempt here at grad school.

My new job starts in 2 weeks.

Thanks for the kind wishes, everyone. I think the interview went well. Since the hiring manager's in Switzerland right now (our company was purchased by a certain pharmaceuticals giant that will remain nameless), I'm guessing I won't hear back for a little while until he catches up with his stuff, but I can wait.

School starts a week from Monday, and I really am getting...

It was the damndest thing. I woke up at 3:30 am on Sunday morning, wide awake. No provocation, no bad dreams, no blind terror or anything like that. I was just... done sleeping, apparently. It wasn't like I went to bed super early (if you must know, aldremech, Lizabeth and I went out for drinks on Saturday). The weirdest part is that I'm not...

Passive. Aggressive. Bullshit.

Someone left a container of cat litter on my doorstep with gift ribbons tied to the handle. So, I'm guessing, my cat's been using someone else's yard as a litterbox and that this person has been reading Anne Landers or Dear Abbey or some shit. It's annoying, because I can't control my cat (who can control cats?), I can't keep her inside...

Back from vacation again. Blah blah blah. To those I still owe CDs: They're on the way, I'm going to get them sent out on Friday (that's my goal anyways-one will take a little longer still) I've just been super-lazy this summer. I apologize in a huge way.

How do you tell this to your best friend?

_____, if you read this at all, don't get married. Your husband-to-be is a huge douchebag and not good enough for you. I'll support you, and I know this makes you happy, but you should examine your feelings about why you're so excited for this guy.

Also, the Watchmen trailer kinda makes it look awesome/like they...
