Whew, this moving stuff sucks. If you don't have to do it, I advise not doing it. I have determined that next time I am either selling all my stuff and buying all new stuff (more likely if an IKEA is nearby to the spot to which I am moving) OR hiring movers, no matter the amount of debt that adds to my current debt stack. Possibly, it will involve ( Read more... )

Listen, I am not about to argue that the foiling of this terror plot by British intelligence is anything but a tremendously great thing, I’m just going to say that it made this day a little less enjoyable. We had a 9:30 flight out of Vegas to El Paso, and luckily for us everyone else leaving today (Vicky, and my mom, aunt, and uncle) left earlier ( Read more... )

Hey kiddos. Another night, and another note from Vegas. I am overall about $60 up from what I came with, and that is still good.

Woo! Almost time for the great Hightower trip to Vegas! My parents, me, Vicky, my bro, his girlfriend, and my aunt and uncle will be there, and it should be good times. I'll get to play the Elvis slot machines, which are by far my favorite ( Read more... )

So, after seiryu_16 and susanofstohelit suggested it I decided to pick up The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. I picked it up more in a show of supporting friends of friends rather than any true interest. The jacket blurbs were intriguing though, and I decided to give it a go. Wow, is this book fun. It is probably the most entertainment I've had in a while, and that ( Read more... )

So I am in Pensacola now for the rest of July, and into August. Every time I come back to visit for more than three days it reminds me why I can never live here again. I like the city, but it isn't one that is very welcoming to the way I think anymore. I applaud Joe's attempt to make sure there area is as welcome as possible with his work in the ( Read more... )
