Work, the pulling apart of my library and plowing through Harry Potter had a cumulative effect on my manga reading habits this past month, but I did consume two series that each struck me in fairly personal ways. – VS. (Versus), Vols. 1-7 (Complete) by Keiko YAMADA [CMX Manga] | Vs. is an entertaining variation [...]

The Gators beat Hawaii this afternoon, to the tune of 56 to 10. Last weekend, the local newspaper did an expose-style story about the “big business” behind non-conference games, but this is very much one case where the numbers don’t entirely tell the story of the “whys” and “hows” behind these decisions. First of all, [...]

It would be an understatement to say the last two weeks have been crazed. So, today was a welcome change of pace. I slept in. (Shock!) I lolled around and didn’t rush around to any of my destinations. (GASP!) I got some non-work stuff done. (AWE!) This morning, I woke up around 11 a.m., called [...]

We know what I’ll be doing on the following days. :) Saturday, August 30 – 12:30 p.m. ET Hawaii @ Gainesville, FL Saturday, September 6 – 8 p.m. ET Miami (FL) @ Gainesville, FL Saturday, September 20 Tennessee @ Knoxville, TN Saturday, September 27 Ole Miss @ Gainesville, FL Saturday, October 4 Arkansas @ Fayetteville, [...]

After an action-packed, kind of stress-filled last couple of weeks, this weekend was a nice change of pace that allowed me to get a few projects done around the house and actually prepare for this week. The dry-wall and paint job in my living room dried nicely enough, which allowed me to re-position my furniture [...]

Instead of today’s dose of weird, I’m going to borrow a page from Mr. B’s blog that was kind of interesting. Instructions: Go over to Wikipedia and enter your birth date (month/day) and then pick 3 events, 2 births, 2 deaths and 1 holiday that occurred on the day of your birthday. Events: I’m too [...]

Drama, drama, drama. That’s all this blog’s been about for the last few entries, and I apologize. I’m just really stressed. Not about work stuff, necessarily, but stuff in general. First, it was the water leak at the secret hide out (dry-wall dude coming on Tuesday), then it was Kitty-mon’s recent illness and recovery, and [...]

Five days, time out from work, and $500 dollars at the vet (two exams, two rounds of blood work, one set of x-rays, three cans of special cat food and one round of antibiotics) later, Kitty-mon is back to her normal personality and starting to eat again. I’m really happy about this. However, I’m a [...]

I’m really, really bummed out right now. Today, Kitty-mon woke me up at about 4:15 a.m. crying. And puking. Now, she has always had periods where she’s done the projectile vomiting thing, but it’s usually because she gobbled up her food too fast. She’s usually fine a couple hours later. Not this morning. She continued [...]

But not enough time to actually type it all out. Busy, busy, busy weekend… Continuing to read Prisoner of Azkaban. A new haircut. (But my hair is still pretty long.) Buying a 6-foot ladder at Home Depot. Measuring my living room windows for new window treatments. Lots of laundry. Ordering yarn for my next knitting [...]
