Eeesh. Hope it's over quickly.

heading out for a second shift of work today. been working my ass off trying to pay off some bills and save up some money for...I'm not sure what yet...going back to school? some travel? maybe both if I can manage it...probably not.

Glad its cooling down in TX. It was 90 yesterday here.
crispy:
The way this game's going, it looks like neither one of us might get any points out of Prater. Denver can't seem to hold onto the ball within 40 yards of the goalposts.
I took a hit with Reggie Bush, too, in that league where I'm beating Pip. It's frustrating, 'cause just when I'm (hopefully) getting Westbrook back, Bush goes down. I'm still in first, even after the Eagles bye week (hence my two open slots and Kerry Fucking Collins at QB), so it's all good.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, man!

to paraphrase George Carlin, Have you ever gone to take a nap in the afternoon and woken up after dark....and you don't know what goddamn day it is?
was on call last night, worked late and then got back up early for a short shift...thought I'd take a nap when I got home...but my body said."nosir...lights out and no wakey til after 9." I just...

I am going to the University of Oklahoma GO SOONERS! (fuckers just got beat by TX this weekend and lost their #1 ranking 
).
I met and worked with several of the recon guys in San Antonio when I was out there this summer. You would like them; really, really capable and likable guys.
Pretty sure you will have to be activated to take advantage of NCPACE, but it is the best deal going. The only expenses you are responsible for are textbooks. I haven't paid a penny of tuition and I will have a Masters from one of the top five public universities in the country. What a great deal. My only complaint is that on the masters level there aren't very many choices of degrees, but then again, it's all liberal arts shit anyway--not like I'm an engineer or biologist... Doesn't really matter. I'm just doing it (like you alluded to) to qualify me for jobs that require a masters (and, sort of, to turn my nose up and talk all snooty because I will be legally smarter than most people). Plus, it helps that it is self-paced, self-taught, and totally free. It would be stupid NOT to do it.
The fact that you are a reservist is gonna affect you the most, I would imagine. I don't know shit about reserve programs, except to say that I know they're nowhere near the good deals that active guys get.
Let me know if you change your mind about Medellin. JP and I will most likely head down in December.

this is my favorite time of the year. weatherwise and in general.
Central and South Texas doesn't really have much of a spring. it just kinda goes from dreary to fuckin' hot in about three weeks. I like the hot weather, but by about this time I'd ready for the break.
this is also the time of the year that I most love to travel....

Here's the restaurant week site. I've looked though the menus and my choices are...
Top two:
Roaring Fork (Yummy sounding menu...apparently David Letterman eats here haha)
Louie's 106 (probably the best sounding menu)
Others:
Cru Downtown
Bistro 88
Imperia (menu is just alright but the restaurant looks really neat and it's normally expensive as balls).
And Sagra is the place I want to go to some other time, fo sho.
There are a lot of good places on the list to maybe try lunch at some time (when we have the time O_O), since it's not as pricey.
......
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm FUD.

Uuuufff... Working on my masters right now. BLOWS. I've written 8 essays (long ones) in the last 4 days. Have 6 more to go before Tuesday afternoon. It's kicking me in the can. Good luck with stuff homey. Lemme know if you want my advice on some good schools. I could put ou in touch with where I graduated from, if you'd like. Also, are you still a reservist? I wonder if you could do some kind of NCPACE-type stuff. It's the best deal around. Let me know if you want any support.
Also... I know you said you're not going to travel, BUT... JP and I are going to Medellin next month or Dec (probably Dec) and expenses aren't bad.. You're invited, if interested.
Laaaaaate.

I typically find Hollywood intrusions into politics to be nauseating, but I thought this was cute. Ellen is adorable.

WTF.
In the span of just a couple short weeks my work has gone from balls to the wall 65+ hour weeks to....nada. It turned slightly seasonable and with people worrying about finances...I guess...but suddenly I'm looking to be lucky to make 65 hours for this month!

That sucks. I hope business picks up soon! It has been unseasonably hot out there, so you never know...
Good luck posing as a postmenopausal woman.

Yah I'm off the map at the moment. I'm outside the US and I told my parents to disavow me. I'm enjoying myself, I have a job, a girl, and awesome friends and I have no want to go back right now. I enjoy my long hair, piercings, and whatever else I couldn't enjoying a couple months ago.
Thanks, Ike.
Was supposed to return to active drilling status with the Marine Reserves this weekend. cut my hair and everything, but because of the hurricane they had to reschedule drill for next weekend...which is a pain in the ass having to tell my boss..."oh yeah, I'm gonna need NEXT weekend off now" after I didn't go in to work today. but I get to...

Ike really sucked, but Austin was lovely this weekend. Whenever you make it back up to New York, I should be there. Looks like things are lining up.
How'd your exercises go?

just updating.
busier week at week again. getting a bit worn out on the schedule. was the "on call" guy last night and worked late.
heading back to drill this weekend after not going in since April. I've missed it...just hope I've kept in good enough shape. I don't even know what they have planned. I'm kinda hoping we're not going out in to the...

Now I'm craving Mexican food. Damn you.
_bossanova_:
I had Puerto Rican food for the first time the other day in New York! We were drunk and rained on and ate it in the cab on the way home after a night out...it was this delicious pork and plantains dish called mofongo.
I hope they get your loan stuff sorted out. That's not right!
The friend I stayed with in New York lives right by the Brooklyn Bridge. It's such a beautiful structure. It looks like I'll be renting from a friend of mine down here in Atlanta (he has a place in Park Slope). Things are working out way too easily...I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I've been wanting to see it, but I went in having my doubts...
fucking hilarious
lots of ham and cheese in this movie, but with just the right amount of that wonderful spicy mustard that is perfectly timed comedy. some really brilliant moments in the movie. I still think I would probably punch Ben Stiller in the nads if I ever met him, but this...

I want to see that so badly! I almost saw it but we saw Pineapple Express instead...disappointing!
Jager...ugh! I'd do shots of Goldschlager any day over Jager, and as far as I know the last time I did shots of the former it didn't end well.
I'm so excited-I got a job in NYC.

Yeah it is.
I just got to visit a little kitten I petsat earlier this summer...he's huge now! I walked in and felt something scratching at my ankles-he'd wrapped himself around them and was purring away, scratching me like a piece of furniture. I'm partial to Siamese.
I'm so excited about coming out there in a few weeks. I'm glad you're not going anywhere dangerous for a while. You're still the Marine that introduced me to Goldschlager...thanks for that!

yepppp. right there with you, on that one.
Just woke from a dead sleep in a panic for no apparent reason. hate when I do that.

I has a new tooth.
I worked until almost 1am last night, so I had the first half of the day "off" of work today and was able to go in and get my permanent crown put on (the tooth...I have not been coronated King of All Huzzit). Relativly painless process. New teeth are so neet. Porcelain crowns feel so smooth compared to real teeth....

Yeah, There Will Be Blood leaves you kind of...shocked? I don't know...I loved it but it was definitely an odd film, in a good way.
Just finished the Enchantress of Florence a couple nights ago...Rushdie at his best! Loved it and need to read more of him, now.
What kinda talk you gotta have with the Marines Monday? I hope they're not sending you anywhere again soon. Good luck!
