silveradept | And one more to go.

To do tomorrow - drop off exam in box, check mailbox. Second, study for other exam. Third, well, third involves getting packed up a little bit more. Which is always an interesting prospect for me, because I don't want to pack too much too soon. At the same time, I need to pack all that I can, so that the moving thing goes smoothly. It'll be okay, really.

Played a game of Literati with

annaonthemoon tonight, and she would have beaten me if not for managing to make a 31 point score, using some triple-word help in choice places. Most people will find that I probably look dangerous at these games, but I'm not very dangerous at all. The point being proven that on another match I accepted. I got thrashed. Badly. Definitely not very good at these at all.

South Carolina introduces a bill to ban sex toys. I still say that anytime someone invokes the obscenity precedent, I need to find a community that find those sorts of things to be obscene and sue. Might even win the case.

Demon Lemons. Along with the Devil's Avacado and the Guacamole of Doom, I think we're on a solid path to finding the Devil's own Fruitbasket.

Starbucks can be a place where you hear strange things. This particular gem, though describes a world where fascists protect abusers and party girls. What an interesting world we live in.

By the way, if you didn't already have more than enough reasons why to believe that Ritalin isn't necessarily a wonder-drug at all, apparently taking Ritalin might just cause hallucinations. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd rather not have my child screaming about bugs that aren't there. Fidgeting and attention span problems can be dealt wi--oooh, shiny!

Anyway. This are doing better on this front. All the things I was worried about have fallen into place and come out to my favor. I'm still waiting on one thing, but it might very well be that the person I'm supposed to talk to is out of the office. And might be out of the office for a while. So there's no major worries involved there. They'll call when they call (or e-mail) and that will be how it happens. Once again, wonderfully worthless worry wasted. Better though, to have it be wasted than warranted.Just need to, well, work it out.

Goals are an orienting device - they will help you proceed in the direction you wish to go. The enjoyment of the trip, though, is not the destination - that's a wholly different thing. Be sure to look around every once in a while to make sure that, you know, you see the scenery and the other interesting things around you. Remind me to look up and look around every now and then. Otherwise I'll barrel head-first into a tree I should have seen coming.

Bed now. Perhaps things make better sense in the morning. Plus, in the morning, there are things to do.
