Cleaning up my apartment I realized that the only things in my freezer are ice, chocolate, and vodka.
Also, I am feeling particularly stabby towards a couple of internet retailers. Both I ordered from a couple weeks ago and it was indicated that my stuff would get here by Christmas to give as presents. Now it turns out that neither has even shipped my order...

It pays up to the maximum amount a resident would pay in that state's most expensive public school for up to the amount of units that is considered full time (15 units maybe).
So for Oregon you get like a max of 6-something thousand. In CA it's like 7-something. In DC it's like 3-something. In, like Michigan, it's like up to 10-something thousand.
The problem is that what seems simple at first gets very complicated and no official regulations have been announced. So if you're like me and trying to plan for next year it's all guess-work. EVen the VA people don't know yet.

Supposedly for some people in online situations sticking with the MGIB makes more sense. You can do that if you want.
Accomplished some good technical legerdemain at work today. My coworkers are calling me an idiot for mucking about with furnaces and vacuum pumps when I should have finished my degree a decade ago. I guess I agree...somewhat. At what point is it so important for me to be more than comfortable? Actually I do want more, but mainly I just want a job that I...

Oh, I like Ani Difranco...Not nearly as much as my friend. But, yeah. And it's LAME to have it assumed that you like Melissa Etheridge, KD Lang, The Indigo Girls, and/or Ani Difranco just because you're a lesbo...I mean, I appreciate all of the artists I just mentioned. But, I'm much more into the likes of Metallica.
And the holidays FUCKING SUCK.

A little under the weather. Seem to be gradually cultivating this cold or upper respiratory ickness.... and then I may have fractured my toe again. shoosh.
mostly just tired. Winter's coming on. I really don't like winter. I'm not huge on the whole holiday season and that seems to be winter's only redeeming quality. I hate being cold. absolutely hate it. I can sit in...

I share your dislike of the cold. I live for my electric blanket from December to March. If you're still having the upper-respiratory gremlins, try the medicine with the grossest name ever: Mucinex. The original formula (expectorant, but not cough supressant) will loosen the nonsense in your lungs. I swear it makes a huge difference.
datsun:
No need for the doc. It's over the counter. I got the advice to use it from my pharmacist.
And aging sucks, but it's a thousand times better than the alternative....
Feel better!

bluevalentine:
dont think I'm not considering. I want photos of the wedding party on the train for sure.
actually I'm gonna post something else. that last bit was a lil more of the drunken navelgazing and woe is me than I really want.
mostly this morning I'm just really happy that I remembered to drink two large glasses of water before I fell asleep at damn near 6am so that I'm not a walking mass of headache and nausea.

I live in a shitty neighborhood, so me running outside is a joke - I try and get to 24hr Fitness whenever I can.
I know exactly what you mean about work, I ask for more responsibility or a "challenge" and they just give me more of the same crap.
As far as video games, I've been trying to finish FFX (which I wasn't a big fan of to begin with, but it makes me nuts that I haven't finished it), a little Need for Speed Pro Street, Mercenaries, SOCOM... stuff like that, I haven't used the PS2 for more than a DVD player in a long time. I need to pick up some more games an a new memory card.

I need to pick up some more games an a new memory card. not really sure what to say here at 5am....tired and inebriated.
my thanksgiving mostly sucked. I worked almost all of thanksgiving day until about 845pm. I was supposed to get the next day off, but worked screwed that up and called me in at 730am. but I did manage to get off in time to go to my mother's family's thanksgiving get together, which was...

Nothing like a raucous game of Cranium accompanied by booze to make things feel better 
I just had the strangest dream. something involving the proper etiquette amongst professional sword fighters/ marathoners at a gathering in New York circa 1922.
one of those strange dreams that the brain tries to process but then just goes" WTF?!!?!" and wakes you up out of so it doesn't have to bother anymore. sort of like a cantankerous old movie director who finds that someone...

Thank you. And LOL Penfold reference

That may be the nicest thing anyone has said about me. Thanks so much for the compliment. 
I definitely think you get to skip the run. I have certainly had dreams that I wake up from exhausted... (and not only the sex ones).

Sooooooooooooooooooooo. what to update.
Surviving my work schedule. It's actually not as hectic as it seems, since my workday has many small breaks throughout. I work in A/C and Heating service, so I go to peoples' homes and fix their malfunctioning furnaces and what not and sometimes I'll finish a job and wait for half and hour to an hour before another one comes in....
