My cousin Nick pulled into town this week. He's probably the most interesting and nifty of my cousins. He's the lefty vegan one, but I love him anyways 
.
He convinced me that I should join him up at our family's sacred land this Thursday and Friday... he's bringing up about a dozen friends from school, mostly women, so it promises to be a fun...

Cow Poopy, eh?
Beautiful Sunny San Luis Nabisco, eh?
Give me a ring when you get in. I'd like to take you out for civil discussion over a drink.

Coolness! I'll drop you a line if they let me in. My grades were sufficiently rancid during my last college experience to make this a dicey proposition.
Today was a good day. It was a long day, and a hard one, but a good one.
First, I got the job!!! It pays a ridiculous amount more than what I was getting paid at my last gig for a much smaller share of my brain. It's a short term contract, but I intend to be back in school in June, so it's...

Heh... I wish. The job is over in Mountain View. However, I have a commitment from them to let me work from home once I get up and running.

good for you!
Today is a good day. Got back late last night from another weekend up at my family's land. My cousin brought up a tractor, and it was a godsend. We cleared the huckleberry and manzanita stumps out of nearly half a mile of old road we're restoring in a single morning

I surfed the luck plane... directly to a job interview on Monday. It's a short term (six weeks) perl hacking position, but I'm planning to be in school in June, so it's perfect. The company is incredibly eager -- I understand from my contact in the company that they are rather panicked about what they need done. They got my resume this morning, called me...

My mother is methodical, straight-laced, and often depressingly conventional. That is to say, my polar opposite. Except when she's not.
This past Tuesday, she called me to tell me she is coming to California, from Massachuesetts, tomorrow.
*BOGGLE*
That's the kind of thing I do, and my sister sometimes does. It is NOT the sort of thing my mother does. Very strange. On the other...

Well, the sparger came back from the bead blasting place today... not sure it did any good, but it looks a bit better inside. On Friday I'm taking it back for another soak in the acid.
So I'm a rocket geek. Just like it says under occupation. This is not (yet) a job, just a really expensive hobby. And for the most part it's really, really cool. I've met some of the most interesting people I have ever known through it. You can meet the group I work with at http://www.erps.org. Look at the mailing list archive for the latest news,...
