Seems I was right...apparently I can't take one simple weekend off work without all kinds of stupid crap happening.

I tell ya, there's nothing I love more than hearing about great parties after the fact via LiveJournal.

Right now, I think that whoever invented the ATM is my greatest enemy. But in the morning, things will be different. Here's hoping that Nebraska can eke out a win in Manhattan, KS tomorrow, which they haven't done since I was a (high school) sophomore.

Well, I wish I could make it to the Good With Guns show tonight, but I'm off to the land of southern Dakota.
