If you're reading this then I charge you with a very importnat task. I've just got my friend, otogluap, to join up so you should all go and say hello to him!

Aside from that I have no other major quests for you to undertake. Also, since this quest has no tangible reward (just the pride of being a kinda and friendly person), I...

"Company Calls"

I'll take the best of your bad moods
and dress them up to make a better you,
'cause all the company calls amount to one paycheck.
I'd squeeze a heart through my fingertip
but i type too slow to make expressions stick.

Set your sights to sink the partyline,
'cause it's so tired.
Set your sights!...

I can't remember how to properly (i.e. formally) partition a matrix for nodal analysis of simple spring and bar elements in Finite Element Analysis. Such are the trials of a mechanical engineer on a monday.

We turned the heat on in the house today. I guess that makes fall official.

I smells like fall tonight. The air is wet and cold and there is just the slightest hint of decaying fallen leaves. It makes my day better just to breath in the fresh air.

And, as I mentioned already, it's on a Saturday. sadness. Anyway, I must be totally stressed out because I'm not sleeping well and I really can't stay focused on anything constructive. However, movies, video games,...

I had a nice dream last night. But I think it was so nice that I'll keep it for myself.

Things worked out well today. All things being as they are, it was a good day. Ever have days that just flow right? It was nice.

Last night I went to my friend's house-warming party. Just for a little bit, I spent an 11 hour day at school ate a quick dinner then ran over to the party. I should've been at home sleeping, because I slept so poorly that I'm not even sure why I got up this morning. First night in almost two months without a dream that I...
