12:12am: A Thank You Note
Dear America,

Thank you for the lovely birthday gift. How did you know that a new President Obama was just what I was hoping for? I guess you remembered how disappointed I was four years ago when there was no President McCain for me to put on my wish list. Thanks so much for being so thoughtful!

Love,

me

P.S. to McCain, you are one classy guy. Excellent speech.

2:36pm: If you like the Big Lebowski
this is hilarious




Now I miss Edis =(

12:21am: blah, WaMu
The most annoying thing about my bank getting bought is that it is probably going to make unemployment go up around here and make it harder for me to find a job. Because it is all about ME.

Amusingly, we opened an account at BECU the night before the sale hit the news, and there were two other WaMu customers in there doing the same thing.

5:11pm: Unpopular opinion of the day
I think strapless wedding gowns are tacky.

Just more on Facebook that LJ. Hi all =)

2:00am: WANT IT
OH GOD I'll take ten PLEASE

1:19pm: many blood sucking insects
I have never been to a caucus. I usually vote in the primary, but apparently this year the WA state caucus will be the determining factor for all of the Democratic nominees and 49% of the Republicans. Since I'm ignorant about the process I looked it up, and what it sounds like is a bunch of people standing around and yelling. At the end of the process the candidate with the largest crowd of yelling people wins. Huh? It sounds like the stock exchange. Anyone ever been to one? What's it like?

8:23pm: sad news for Dgaters

11:10am: I remember this cartoon!
It's part of a larger one I saw when I was pretty young, so late 70s or early 80s. I was fascinated by it then and it's still pretty cool - very philosophical. Anyone know what it's from?

5:26pm: the local rug scene
This reminds me of the furniture store down the street that goes out of business every 6 months, and yes, those lovely rug stores in Pioneer Square.

6:38am: Wheee I can't wait for The Dark Knight to come out next year. It's got Christian Bale AND Maggie Gyllenhaal, two of my favorite actors. http://atasteforthetheatrical.com/deathtrap/default.htm

5:53pm: woooo Rock Band!
We've got Rock Band now, what a fun game! The drums are freakin' HARD. I have no coordination so using the foot pedal for the kick drum is really screwing me up on some songs. I'm stuck on "Day Late, Dollar Short" by the Acro-brats, in the bonus concert section. GRRRRR

3:44pm: salmon runs and school
We went to Carkeek Park today and watched the salmon swimming upstream to spawn. It was really cool, although one poor salmon kind of got stuck on its side and didn't move for a while - resting up for its next try. The salmon are such big fish too, watching them wriggle up the shallow parts of Piper Creek with their bodies only half in the water was really amazing. Tough creatures, that is a hell of a lot of work and I am quite impressed with their stamina. It also made me crave some tasty salmon for dinner.

We took the ACS (American Chemical Society) general chemistry exam yesterday and I scored in the 96th percentile, which corresponds to a score of 105.6 on my final (my teacher gives extra credit). I could skip the final with that but I think I will take it anyway and see how much I know for the more in depth problems. Either way she'll give me the higher of the two scores as my grade on the final exam.

Next week is finals, so tomorrow is our last class day. I'm not worried about the Spanish final and the Geology final should not be too hard since he lets us use our notes. I was a little stressed about Chemistry so that took a lot of the pressure off.

I am really waffling about next quarter. I signed up for my final two requisite classes to graduate - an English Literature class and Environmental Issues and Problems. (I need a certain amount of credit in different areas like "Individuals, Cultures, and Society"). The way tuition scales, it behooves me to take three classes (15-16 credits) instead of just two (10 credits). If I take just two I will have more free time and could deal with a part time job. I was considering Vector Calculus next quarter but I have a feeling that is going to be a tough class. I could take Spanish 2 since I already have the textbook and it would be a "medium" class like the other two (although I think the Lit class will be easy).

11:57pm: RIP Robert Jordan
Shame.

2:27am: still here
We've been playing Lord of the Rings online, it is fun and I like how they did the crafting stuff, at least in theory. Some things seem to be almost too rare - one basically needs either the time or the money to get crafting experience quickly. Casually increasing crafting skills seems to be much easier which I do like; one can gather all sorts of components just in the normal course of adventuring and questing.

We watched The Way of the Gun this evening, and I thought it was a great movie. The opening scene is fucking hilarious, but it's not a comedy - some parts of it are pretty fucking grim. Still I enjoyed it, although there were a couple gruesome scenes where poor Z had to look away. I found out it was directed by the same guy who directed The Usual Suspects, a completely awesome movie in its own right of course.

Some damn building alarm (it doesn't sound like a car) has been going off intermittently for the past four hours. So damn annoying.

7:48pm: running around madly
So about three weeks ago guaire and I decided we were just going to go ahead and get married on our 10th anniversary (August 20th) and have been running around trying to get that all set up. That is where I have been hiding. I have a final next week, then a concert to attend, a wedding and a honeymoon, then PAX. I'm going to be worn out from all this vacationing! Promise to post pictures etc. when I have them. Behind the cut is my dress - no peeking if you don't want to be spoiled.
