Currently watching a special about Peter Jennings. I'm very sad that he passed away - it makes me wonder what will happen to the evening news now that he is gone for good - he hadn't been on since April, but was very involved in the newscasts on ABC. Viewers are predicting that Charlie Gibson will be taking his place - I think this is the only replacement that comes close enough to the level to which Mr. Jennings had set out to reach with the evening news. (I'm terrible for ending a sentence with a preposition, but heck, it's 8:34 and I'm tired). It's amazing to watch this special and to see everything that he accomplished as a reporter, the places he visited, the people he met, and the situations he reported about.
I have 9 days left to start packing, and I'm guessing that most of that will occur this weekend. I tried to fill the tires on the bike up to 55 psi, but it won't accept higher than 40, so I'm guessing that the guy at bike line wasn't really paying attention when he told me the number. Going to try to get at least 6 more rides in before we pack up the bike, remove the front tire and stick it either in the parents buick regal or john's honda civic. I also have to cram in a new microwave - does anyone need a microwave? we would like to give it to someone that really needs it - anyone?
Anyhoo, i figured that i'd post a few pictures but just realized that they are all still on the old laptop, i have to bring them over to the new one, so you'll have to wait on that - since i've realized that a few friends have no idea who john is and even what i look like, so I guess I'll clue yous in - but you'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Mommy #2 is teaching me and possibly Nicki to crochet tomorrow night - which is exciting, something that I can do to take up my spare time when I'm taking my 9 measely credits. I also have some painting to do - which means a trip to the huge art store that is now in squill. But i suppose i should finish my bebop art, then do the two 16x16 canvases that are in my closet.
Pictures tomorrow since I'm without a boyfriend until Saturday evening - he's being an extra in the eagles movie they are filming.
