I walked into work Monday morning and told my boss to put me on part time Mondays and Tuesdays from now on. I'm working with a freelance web company here in town that is more along the lines of what I want to be doing long term, so It's been busy trying to squeeze it all together. Well, I gotta get some work done, so I'll ttyl!

Axes, Daggers, and Death
I now officially am wary of Vista. My system died an unexplainable death (resulting in a B.S.O.D. on any attempt to start Vista back up, though XP 64 bit still worked perfectly - dual boot system). I had just installed some new unsigned software (just about everything I'm running is unsigned for vista, including mostly XP drivers that shouldn't even work on Vista in the first place). I guess now that I look back, I had it coming. Whether it was Vista or some other software vendor's fault, I do not have the time to figure out or care. I worked on it for several hours Tuesday evening, performing a careful autopsy of the hardware and repair/recovery tools for Vista; nothing worked.
I gave up Wednesday morning and formatted it between errands all over town. I was not happy to have to do that without knowing what did it in the first place, but oh well. I'll live, and if my computer does this again, I'll open up the third story window next to my desk and drop-kick the box onto the AC unit down below.
Insurance is paid, the car is tested and re tagged for the next year, and I'm almost broke again. Thanks for the money for my BDay, Mom. Your timing was perfect. I actually am starting to save up and have money in the bank again. No more under minimum balance fees making me even poorer. Working two jobs helps with that
. It was kinda nice to have a short break from my new 60 hour work schedule, but the free time was spent fixing the computer. But I'm finally back up and running.
I'm going to see Pirates tonight. I'm going swing dancing tomorrow down at the Factory tomorrow night. I have the best outfit to wear. I found this amazing vintage shop downtown called Flashback. Other than the stains on all the guys clothes (not the store's fault), they have the best selection in Nashville. Trust me, I went around for several hours checking every store Google Maps found in the area. I knew it was gonna be hard, but after no luck over and over again, the costume shop sent me there. Ding! Perfect fit (other than needing some taking in - guys back then were short and skinny or tall and, well, rotund). I'm so happy. The suit is great. I'll post pics some time later.
I'm off to the movies!

News
So, I'm back from N.C. My brother graduated from Duke with his Masters of Divinity. Suma cum Laude. He's amazing. So is my nephew. D.T. is so cute. I got to sit a few times for my brother and sister-in-law.

Um...
Happy Birthday Dana!
And how do I say this without coming across as rude? My birthday is May 20th. Ok, that wasn't bad at all. Not pretentious or selfish at all. Oh, and happy birthday again Dana. You're always the same age older than me. Maybe I'll catch you next year.
