(no subject)
Almost everyone seems to busy with having lives to post on their LJ these days, and I suppose that I'm one of 'em. To those of you who've continued to post, I read your stuff every day, I promise :)
Interesting things:
I have purchased a laptop. It has leather trim, which I would not have gotten except the lappy I ended up with is a demo model so they suited it up all top of the line. I saved somewhere in the vicinity of $400 on it.
I am enrolled in classes at GMU. This is the 5th week of classes, which means that at the end of next week, we will be halfway through the semester. Thus far I have turned in zero late assignments and have overall made Good Life Choices, resulting in good grades and pleased professors thus far.
My father finally had surgery to remove the lump in his esophagus. Confirming my theory that assholes live longer than the rest of us, he's doing fabulously well. We had a few rough days there, but it looks like he'll be headed to Martinsburg sometime this week to live in the domicile they provide there, so he can recuperate and not have to mess around with whatever happens to be wrong with his house this year.
Ben has been working insane-o hours at work. His company regained the rights for the European version of the game he works on, so they've been trying to make a smooth transition onto new servers (or something like that). So, this past week has been sick dad, papers due, Ben working enormous overtime for which he won't be paid because he's salaried...that sort of thing. But we're holding up, I think. We try to be nice to each other and hopefully we will get by.
