Belay the delay.
I’m on an internet fast. Pardon me if I don’t update for a while.

“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.” Richard Bach
I have to say, the new machine (and grinder) have far exceeded expectations.
Class got canceled today – I was on campus when they evacuated. They thought it was gas. So, the rest of the day was pretty much spent just driving around.
I need to take a nap.

“They need a good cup of espresso to keep them going.” Edward Stevenson
Ahh….I’m in heaven……just heaven.
In other news, my refrigerator is holding a steady 60 degrees Fahrenheit……which means that my freezer defrosted and I lost all my frozen stuff. The milk hasn’t quite gone bad yet, so it may not be a lost cause yet on that side. Repair is scheduled for tomorrow.
Maybe I should start writing that paper. D’OH!

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day.
As I was bleaching the crap out of my hair last night, I decided that I’m not going to color my hair anymore. It’s time to quit doing that. It’s entertaining sometimes, but right now I’m not really in the mood. It’s really good for starting conversations however.

“What we’re looking at this year is an exponential increase in interest in alternative spring breaks.” Jeff Rubin
This is officially my first spring break in about….uh…..nineteen or so years.
I don’t really consider it “spring break” since I still have to do pretty much all the normal crap that I do during a normal week. I just don’t have to go to class.
Today I shall be writing a paper for my Texas Politics class – due next Wednesday. Three pages (no big deal) – but procrastination (much like blog posts) abounds.
My daughter is now officially hooked on “Lost”. After I plowed through seasons one through five on Netflix, I decided to pick up the box sets when I find them cheap. She watched the first episode, and from the other room, all I could hear was, “OMIGOD, OMIGOD! OMIGOD, OMIGOD!”. Normally, I really don’t find myself that interested in network television, but “Lost” is a pretty brilliant show. Since I was able to watch all seasons pretty successively, there was no “lag” between seasons and therefore no letdown when the writing changed direction. It’s definitely a different show than it was in the beginning, and it should be interesting to see how it wraps up.

“He was always sick. When he got sick, he just didn’t bounce back like other kids. Something was always lingering.” Robin Dillon
Bleah.
I feel like crap now.
Took some Nyquil. As evidence:
Obviously, I got the green done. I’m exhausted. Nap time.

“When the authorities warn you of the dangers of having sex, there is an important lesson to be learned. Do not have sex with the authorities.” Matt Groening
Bleah. I’m not feeling that hot.
For some reason, I’ve picked up a small cold from my daughter – who manages to get pharyngitis every month.
Got checked for strep, and don’t have it.

“O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful! and yet again wonderful, and after that, out of all whooping!” William Shakespeare
Oops.
For the first time, I wore my Flat Duo Jets shirt today.
When I picked my daughter up for school, I should have REALLY noticed the imperceptible eye widening……but I didn’t. I just chalked it up to her “normal” not liking whatever I’m wearing.
Off I went to the courthouse to file a Deed on my house. I’m there and the cop at the metal detector motions to the three other officers that are there, “Hey, lookit his shirt!”. Then I went into the clerk’s office. The clerk’s eyes got huge and he says, “You know you’re in the courthouse right?”. I said, “Well, it’s not illegal…..”
He says, “Well, I wouldn’t walk around downtown or anything….”
Kinda funny. I kinda forget that most of the world isn’t on the same wavelength as me. It reminded me of the time in high school when I wore my “School is Hell” t-shirt.
I really didn’t think anything of it, but Mr Strickland (the band director) didn’t take too kindly to it.
They made me turn it inside out. D’OH!

“Never mind.” ~ Emily Litela
Well, I was a little off target. But not by much.
