Man alive. I've been behind on this thing. Too much good stuff happening.
Sandlin visited! Woohoo! I'd say quite a fine time was had by all. We saw Venice beach, drove through downtown and hollywood, saw *Kevin Nealon* do stand-up at the comedy and magic club, and hit a water park on saturday. The water park was pretty excelent. I was going on rides all day, but it was kinda overcast in the morning. But when the sun came out, let me tell you, it was a generous helping of fun for all. We were there for a co-worker's birthday. Three of them, actually. Good stuff. And I'm lookin' good in a swimsuit too. *Flex...Flex*.
What else...still playing City of Heroes a lot. If any of you out there are playing that game, let me know. My character's name is Zeroth power, and I'm on the victory server. And for those of you that don't know, City of Heroes is an online RPG that you can play with people all over the world. It's great fun. And since Tabitha is leaving for texas, it'll be a good way to keep in touch with her. Video games...they bring us *together*.
I wrote this e-mail to my coworkers today. Every word of it is true.

This is great:
We just got some new room labels up here on the 10th floor. They're pretty nice-looking. Got the Raytheon Logo on it, a neat little red stripe, big lettering, replacable 'occupant name' area. Very chic.
Now someone had the clever idea of marking the room numbers in braile on these room numbers, which was pretty nice of them. So what they did was create a printout with the room number in regular letters above, and the braile letters below. A printout. On paper. With ink. Of Braile. There's no texture to ink on paper. You following me?
So now we have our rooms up here marked with regular characters and braile that you can *only read if you can see*. Come up and see, it's hilarious.
Spotlight Award, anyone?

Quoth Charlie brown: Good grief.
Midterm coming up in a week-and-a-half. We'll have to see. Personally, I dislike classes with only one midterm. I like having one to 'feel out' the class, know what kind of things the teacher expects us to do. I might have some trouble, but with any luck the class will be curved. So I won't have to be good, just better than everyone else. Not easy, granted. This is graduate school now. Everyone is clever.
Still working on my origami project. Long road ahead. I think I'm about 1/3rd done. I do it during slow moments, or while watching TV, which really doesn't happen that often these days. Cept for TLC. The only channel I ever watch ever. 'What Not to Wear'...'Clean Sweep'...'Faking It'...'A Makeover Story.' So great.
Right, so hopefully that will keep you well tided with news of me. I'll try to update more frequently in the future. Ta, ducks!
