I've been reading the manga "Dragon Half" online. It's pretty good, and much longer than the anime. I'd actually consider buying it if it were available in print in English. Having said that, I kinda want to sit Mink down and have this conversation with her ( Read more... )

Huh. A Republican Senator from Massachusetts. Didn't think I'd ever see that.

The chief irony?

They broke their own laws to push the election through because the seated party didn't think they could lose.

Today was my first day back on my "normal" schedule at work, which basically means it's the first day this year that we've had a program specialist in the room. The program specialist basically supervises the room and teaches lessons and runs activities as well as helping to write and run the IEP goals. Mine's a guy younger than me named Zack, and ( Read more... )

I was reading a webcomic and looked at the date. It's apparently suddenly December. I don't think I was really used to November yet, Thanksgiving notwithstanding. The time, it does fly.

The other day it came home to me again - which is to say that I was aware of it for some time but don't really think about it much - that the last girl I ever really had a crush on and pretty much the only girl I can really lagitimately claim to have dated are both getting married. It's important to understand that neither has been an active part ( Read more... )

The water in greater BF is positively foul today. It's been kinda annoyingly bad for a while, but today it's just nasty; there's this aftertaste that - at least to me - seems almost like a cross between metal and black licorice, but far less pleasant than that sounds. It leaves me salavating and with a slightly tingly tongue after I drink it, so I' ( Read more... )

Well, I had two sets of potential weekend plans, a main and a fallback, and both seem to have fallen through. It's not a big deal, but I have off from now until next Tuesday and that seems like too good of an opportunity to pass up, so I'm thinking of heading south for the weekend. If anyone lives in the greater Baltimore region or along my likely ( Read more... )

As some of you know, my sister Hannah just got married. The wedding was a lot of fun, but arranging to get to it was stupid drama pain, per usual. Following the wedding I had a pleasant week off which included time with family, a visit w/ the Philly Peeps, and a lunch in Hershey next to the park with Drew and his family. Following all of this, I ( Read more... )

Well, the wedding was completely successful and more than a little bit of fun. Hannah was a beautiful bride, and everything went without a hitch. True, there was rain and it was probably the stickiest day we've had this year, but the rain only happened during the meal (indoors), and it actually reduced the temperature a bit. All told, a wonderful ( Read more... )

Well, I've successfully begun my vacation. As some of you know, I wasn't able to afford airfare to my sister's wedding due to having to wait so _ehem_ long to know if I had the time off, so I drove out. The 10+ hour drive was actually pretty pleasant, to be honest; I took my time, had plenty to eat and drink, had a number of books on CD to listen ( Read more... )
