Why I stick my neck out for you is quite beyond my capacity
And now for a brief interlude by Faye Whitaker of Questionable Content fame:
Thanks Faye. Yes, it was payday today, huzzah huzzah ecstatic etc, except my bank won't let me transfer any more money from my savings account to my checking account this month, which means I got charged a 15 dollar "insufficient funds" fee for an 8 dollar BART ticket, even though the money was right there in my savings account and they have always in the past authorized free overdraft transfers from one account to another. Thanks for nothing, SLFCU. I sent in a complaint but I am not particularly hopeful.
The Good:
- I realized that my computer calendar caused me to miscalculate the number of weeks remaining until I'm done with work here at the lab. I have 5 more weeks, then 2 weeks of vacation and packing, and then it's back to school with me, where there will be cavorting, vidya games, celebrating, and probably lots of calculus and late night labs. I'd better end this point before I end up in "the bad."
- Tomorrow: D&D at Aaron's "swinging bachelor pad" in San Jose. I understand that I'm to play a rebel who is not in fact the rebel leader. Oh well, I still get to be a 6th level rogue. I should do all the easy stuff today, like figuring out name and history before actually making my character sheet with Aaron tomorrow. It's been a while since I played serious D&D with the Suspects, so I'm pretty excited.
- Sunday: Steven drops by for a few hours before heading back to his campsite in Petaluma. Finally, I can get repeatedly destroyed at Brawl again.
- I watched Star Wars (A New Hope) last night, an extremely satisfying activity very similar to having pure sci-fi goodness pumped into my veins through an IV. It's the only way I can fuel my addiction anymore.
- I actually got some sleep last night and am now drinking coffee.
The Bad:
- I just finished my coffee.
- The time is slowly encroaching when I'll have to buy textbooks for next quarter. It's so much fun to watch newly-earned money drain out of your bank account.
- My driving test is on August 12th and I have a rather intuitive feeling that I'm going to fail it, despite the fact that I've had my permit for over a year. Um, any advice you guys can give me?
- They canceled Firefly.
The Ugly:
- You are all beautiful.
- I've never even watched the movie I'm referencing right now.
I guess that's all the time I can afford to waste. Back to grinding my face against my keyboard for the next 6 hours.
