So, some quick updates.
I sadly cannot play TF2 on the 360 on the internet because we only have the standard X-box Live subscription. Which means I can only kick my brother's ass...or could if we had more than one controller. Also, my older brother will be home for good right after Memorial Day. My mom finds it mind blowing that we will once again have a household of 5 people after not having one for so long. She finds it odd thinking of cooking for that many people.
Which leads me to says...my mom is fine!!! Her operation was successful, and she is recovering really well. She had a billiondy staples pulled from her head, and now happily announces to the rest of my family that the lines in her hair that they did shave are quickly growing back. She still gets tired out easily but she looks better everyday.
My vain attempt to contact the TSA about the plausibility of taking a boat motor as luggage on an international flight was only responded to with an automated message about hazardous materials (eh?). It would have been nice of them to actually READ the message, but I guess that take too much time. So, I'm planning on calling the TSA and FAA or whoever whenever I have the time to spend on hold for a million hours to hopefully get and actual and conclusive answer.
In better news: school is over! That means I'm back in the city...back at home. My dad has taken advantage of this and has probably called me "fat" 30+ times since I've been in his presence...at least 10 of which were on the initial trip home. Fun times...no. Whatever, fuck him? Yeah.
In even better news: before I left school, I convinced my loveliest and truest of wives to go tadpole-fishing with me. I caught 2. They are now set in in a 5 gallon tank, and swimming happily. They already have tiny tiny still useless legs.
In the best news possible: fuck it I'm going to Europe! Somehow, I'll make it happen.
Now, if anyone knows where to get a $1,200-1,500 Mercury 5-horsepower 4-stroke boat motor with a not-long shaft and preferably removable/remote gas tank, your help is greatly appreciated.
I'm off to restart my computer, play some CoH and go to a Yankees game tomorrow to hang out with some friends.
