Changing Planet

Wtf.  This year is the year for weird physical shit.  I think I'm allergic to grass now?  Rolled around at a park on Sunday and was itching horribly for hours, even after soaping up after I got home.  Maybe it was just something they sprayed?  Hopefully.  Being allergic …

El Orfanato

El Orfanato (The Orphanage) was a damn fine movie.  Dark, and a little sad, but good.  The kind of movie that stays with you for a while afterwards.

Mmm... Diablo 3.  Just might get me off of Oblivion for a while... :p

Stuff

Seattle folks: does anyone need kitchen stuff?  I have two bags of those semi-disposable Glad & Ziplock bowl container things, along with assorted microwave stuff (vegetable/fish steamer, omelet maker, poached egg maker - some never used) with instructions, and a few …

Cool Stuff

Late Spring Cleaning

This class is going to drive me insane, I can already tell.

I'm feeling an intense impetus to purge personal belongings on a scale that would make people think I was getting ready to commit suicide if they didn't really know me.

Thinking about it though, I really do get …

This is the most important thing I've seen all year, I think.

Time To Penis

Thanks to Spore and the women_dev mailing list, I now have new industry-related jargon: TTP.

"In MMOGs there's a technical term for this sort of thing: Time To Penis (TTP).  With Spore, from the very first demos the TTP has been measured in milliseconds."

HAHAHAHA!!

It's …

Tired

Today's shoot went well.  Definitely not the most flattering outfit I've worn recently, but Dawn totally rocked my makeup and the concept was super fun.  I had a fantastic time.  Ric said he'd have some photos ready soon.

Went out to dinner afterwards, still in full …

Weekend

Friday's bone scan showed something bad in the vicinity of, well, where I feel badness.  Not sure what that means for diagnosis, exactly, but after experiencing even worse pain earlier in the week, and running on the assumption that it will be a stress fracture(s), I …

YAY

Grades were released this morning.

Organic Parts Can Suck It

Pre-ketosis brain fog is in full effect today.  I spent most of the morning thinking it was tomorrow.  D'oh.

Finally broke down and made a dermatologist appointment for next week.  Scott started threatening me with constant harassment after I discovered the beginnings of …

Damn, wish I would have known about this during my last layover.

School & Health

Checked my CalcIII instructor's door for grades this morning.  My ID# had a 4.0 next to it, yay!  I must have done really well on the second half of the final as well, because my past quiz performance had me expecting a 3.8 or 3.9.  So... hoping against hope, as long as …

Whoo

Shot with Revel today, whoo!

My brother doesn't need a ride home to the fort, my mom doesn't need a ride home from work, and I get to play Oblivion for the rest of the day.  Even more whoo. :)

If I wasn't such a lazy bastard, I'd go hop on the trail for a nice, long …

TGIF

Busy weekend ahead.

Formal dinner tonight, family stuff tomorrow, and a photoshoot on Sunday.

When will I have time for Oblivion?  *cry*  (Ha.)

I need to pick up a soldering gun/station some time soon...

I've started re-reading stuff about circular motion to help prepare …

Hallelujah

Felt good about the last half of the Calc III final last night.  Saw that I'd gotten 100% on the first half Thursday night.  (Whoo!  Thought I was losing my math mojo there for a while.)

Felt pretty decent about the Physics final this morning.  (But every time that …

Today & Tomorrow

Man.  I haven't seen any bald spots, but I guess the stress is bad still.  Just when I thought I was almost done with the Eczema on my toes, it just started up on the sole of that foot.  (Everywhere else is fine though.)  Ugh.  So annoying.  N, I can't even imagine what …

My Little Bro

My brother called this morning.  He's back at Fort Lewis for the next year or so.  Whew!  We were starting to wonder what was going on since we hadn't heard from him in months.  I'm glad he won't be redeploying to Iraq afterwards, but I'm not sure Afganistan is really …

United = Major Fail

Flight here: almost stranded in Chicago, finally got rerouted to Milwaukee hours later. Friends driving to Madison saved me $200 on a one way rental. :p More about flying/driving in tornado weather later.

And now: good thing I showed up several hours early. ALL …

Getting There

Managed to catch the bus, get to O'Hare, check my beer-filled luggage, and get to my gate without incident.  I actually had a rare spot of luck with the check-in; the line I just happened to decide to wait in outside was something like 1/10th of the insanity going on …
