Am feeling kind of slumpy today... not the actively sad or angry kind, but the more dangerous apathetic kind. Which is bad, because this weekend is lined up to be a pretty big deal. I'm looking forward to a visit from my little brother Ben and his so-awesome-no-one-believes-they-met-on-WoW girlfriend, Jen. Ben and Jen. Cute =P
Also Seafox will be down, so upstate New York will have quite an enclave here in Ronkonkoma for a few days. You bring the Bud, I'll grill us up some possum, and I'm sure Ferret has country music. Haw!
So, I'm working out of my funk, which is mostly about Lynne being gone. I miss my girl, and my friend, and my advisor, and my pet. But you all knew that and I've tried not to be tiresome about it. Mostly because NONE OF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAAAAAAA *cuts self repeatedly* .
...
I feel better already. Well, that and I found out yesterday that she's visiting for two weeks, later this month, and also is going to the concert. Win, Win. Happier wolf ^_^
So, I'm at work, dividing my time between busting my butt and reading a few well-researched
articles about
al-Qaeda and all kinds of related
Islamic and
Middle-Eastern stuff. Laugh at my source if you will, but these are some of the better introductory articles I've seen.
Eventually I'm going to have to figure out what we're doing with ourselves over the weekend. We still don't have a kitchen, and that really blows. Half of our amusement comes from cooking and eating, and that either sucks or gets really expensive with no kitchen.
Speaking of expensive, I finally, for the first damn time ever, have health insurance. Good Empire health insurance. It's eating nearly a quarter of my weekly paychecks (!!!), but it's some I need and have needed for awhile... maybe I can get some of my various issues looked at now, and suck less when they'e done with me ^_^
Okay, lunch break is up... time to do some more research on the totally fucked-up blend of marketplace and technology that is Ebay.
