Tony (or maybe David) mentioned her when we were giving the post Necon wrap-up. Not telling anything that hasn't already been discussed. Well, except for the size of the spider I killed on your bed the last night there.

If I was going to cuddle with anyone on that trip, it would've been with the blonde ball girl at Fenway.

So I come home to a message on the recorder from one of Mark's friends girlfriend. She is bawling her eyes out talking about how he hasn't come out of his room in two days and there is no sound and his elderly mother can't get in his room please go check on him. Mark went over a while ago and no one answered the door. We went over there a tiny bit ago and the house is dark and no one answers the door or phone. We will be going back in a little while to check. The girlfriend can't get over there and my god it was heartrenching to listen to the message.
Mark has lost two friends in the past 3 months to heart attacks. I really hope this isn't something like that.

That is scary. I hope everything turns out to be a misunderstanding and his friend is o.k. Please let us know what happens Jody.

This bit of important news has been underreported by the media I think.

We still don't know. I leave tonight to go to my grandmas but Mark will be checking again after work. I will call him and see if he has any news.

Underwater shots of dogs in pools. Kind of has to be seen to be believed.

Kellie and I had a date night tonight and saw Skillet at the Sprint Center with roughly 15,000 of our closest friends. My ears are still ringing. And I smell like fireworks. This was the 3rd time we've seen them live, and it's amazing and intense every time.

Looked at 5 houses today. We had originally planned for 6, but apparently between Monday and today someone else put an offer in on one of the houses that was accepted.

We saw 2 we really liked, and the other 3 were very "meh".

Good luck Craig, and you should think about hiring an inspector to look any house over before you settle on it. It's cheap money compared to what you could be paying later on for repairs.

Netflix. Are the first 5 minutes of a movie always that jerky?

Man, I'm a bit buzzed. I don't drink much anymore (*grrrr* I can already hear you guys) but I decided to have a beer while I was doing some light work around the house. I bought something called Bud Light Platinum while grocery shopping yesterday because the bottle looked cool and it was light beer. EEERRRRNNNNT (thats the sound that is made when you get the wrong answer on a quiz show). I just looked at the bootle, there's 6 % alcohol in the damn thing. The buzz is pleasant, but I wasn't prepared for it. Looks like I'll try to figure out how to run my blu ray player some other time.

Hellolost: I urge you and everyone that if you think a friend or family member might be lying hurt or dying inside a house or apartment, definitely call 911 or get inside somehow. The worst that can happen is you wind up embarrassed and your friend gets his door kicked in. The best thing is you save his life. I hate to think that if someone I cared about had a heart attack and was unconscious or unable to answer the door, he'd be left there to die because someone didn't want to break a $4 pane of glass in a window. I'd hate it even worse if that was me on the floor.

I think I plagarized part of my paper. Going back and reading it, several lines stand out as something that Kandinsky wrote.

I let my professor know and he's going to read it and then let me know where it stands.

Ancient Aliens on Netflix=WIN!

Bladerunner on AMC - lose.

One of my all time favorite films, butchered by commercials for insurance, orange juice, assorted dubious drugs and wrinkle filler, and The Walking Dead showing Shane head-butting Rick over and over. The commercial breaks occured at every single poignant moment in the film, and rant rant rantrantrant.......

Okay, I feel better now

The friend is fine I guess. Mark is so dang closed mouthed about things. If it had been my buddy I would have been through the window. Paid for it too. Men can be funny things.

Hello, thankfully it worked out.

WTF is going on with bursting water pipes? Last Friday had to help a friend move some stuff into storage because the pipes in his apartment burst. Today, I have to help my mom move stuff into storage because the pipes in her apartment burst and flooded her living room and the apartment next to hers.

It's kinda sad that I'm actually looking forward to the cold again. DAMN YOU ALLERGIES!!!!!

I got my British Lit paper back last night - 97%!!!

It's amazing what happens when you don't procrastinate (and write 14 pages when the requirement was 7).

Thanks Nanci and Janet! :hi

But all I can think of is how that could have been 14 pages of a Ferris Wheel story instead of discussing Beowulf.
