To anyone that was there: Sorry I missed the party. Hopefully I'll see all of your in July when we try to do it again. Hasta.

Meredith & I just got back from our trip to visit my dad's side of the family in farm-ville Missouri. It was a great visit overall. My dad is 1 of 8; Meredith had already met 2 of the 8, not including my dad, and now she's met another 4. The only uncle she hasn't met yet is my uncle Phillip, but I'm sure we'll track him down next time. I ( Read more... )

Mere just IMed me. She ready my whole journal evidentially, start to finish. Don't worry, this isn't going to take a bad turn, she just wanted to know more about me ( Read more... )

Well, with Mera out of town I'm back to my old tricks; ie, watching tons of movies from my collections, reading, and worknig on my game stuff mostly. It's fun, but I'm missing her dearly. A few more days and I'll probably be crawling the walls. In the mean time though, it's very enjoyable to just be screwing around on my own for a few days. I ( Read more... )

Meredith took my sister, Yuriko, rock climbing with some friends while I was at work yesterday. It's so great knowing that my family and my girlfriend get along so well. My dad and Junko really treat her like part of the family in so many ways. Life is good.

I'm not going to get into plot or anything, so no one needs be afraid of spoilers ( Read more... )

I don't know how much it rained elsewhere in the VA area, but from my apartment, last night was incredible. We opened the door and watch it rain for an hour or so. It was the sort of rain that would utterly drench every inch of anything in it in less than a second; luckily, I was not in it, or I would've been a very unhappy Andrew ( Read more... )

Well, I'm officially a Mac user. I bought the lap top, along with the various start up geat known as the "hidden cost" of buying a computer. I'm poorer now, but I do have a shiny new computer that rocks hard core. I'm currently watching it suspiciously while I try to charge up it's battery for use on the bus and metro ride home. Anyway, I like ( Read more... )

This afternoon I will take part in the great American tradition of burning a wheelbarrow full of cash in a ludicrously short period of time. This evening, my purchases will include a Tuxedu Jacked ($197), Tuxedo pants ($97), new black socks ($15), and a Macintosh Laptop computer (~$1200). All this right before I head out to LA for 4 days to see ( Read more... )

I decided to rent a couple movies on a lark last night. Whatever possessed me to rent them I'll just have to chalk up to temporary insanity. I feel unclean having watched them. Some how the thought of renting Catwoman (Halle Berry) seemed like something resembling a good idea for an unknown reason; I blame alien abduction of some sort. Let me ( Read more... )
