I caught up with Sandi this evening for a little while. I’m so pleased we’ve become good friends — She’s so much fun to hang out with, and there’s certainly no shortage of things to talk about. Happily, we’ve got a games night planned for Sunday evening, so we’ll be getting together then to catch [...]

Yay! It’s finally time to see the movie version of Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy tonight! I’m so excited. I got the books last year from Jenn for my birthday, and I’ve seen most of the BBC series that I rented a while back. Now it’s time for the big production… And at the brand [...]

This day is going too slowly because I hate configuring computers. A necessary evil, but not one I enjoy.

Seriously. It’s as if we simply can’t have one without the other. Jer and I drove down to Seattle on Friday night — I was delirious from being so exhausted due to a severe lack of sleep during the week. The worst night was Thursday night when I worked about 20 hours that day. If [...]
