That's Jim and Grendel taking a little nap on the couch. Aren't they sweet? Grendel is doing well, I think. You long-time readers may recall that Grendel has feline cardiomyopathy, and kidney failure, so she is on blood pressure medication and a low protein diet. She is putting back on some of the weight she lost, and she's looking really good lately! I feel a lot more encouraged. While she was at the vet (while we were at Disney World), she got some more tests done, and I have to call and get the results. But I'm feeling good about it.

My classes were (once again) kind of boring on Tuesday. In my Human Computer Interaction class, we watched a bunch of videotaped presentations from some conference. Some were kind of interesting, I guess. My friends and I went to a Chinese place for lunch, and it was pretty good! My afternoon class was okay. I am the biggest geek in that class. Everyone else must hate me. It was worse than usual on Tuesday, because we were talking about e-commerce and real estate. Well, my summer internship was redesigning a real estate assocation website, so I have a little knowledge in this area. I tried not to talk a lot though. Then after the break, a student taught the class on money and cash systems such as CyberCash. He asked if anyone knew what micropayments are. I do, and I felt bad because he really wanted someone to answer, so I did. But I still think everyone hates me. I need to learn to keep my yap shut.

Our window on our back porch is broken. It's an enclosed porch, and we keep a lot of crap out there because we don't have a lot of storage space. There's a loveseat sized papa-san out there, and a whole lot of boxes from when we moved. Well, our landlord was using the electrical outlet on our porch, and broke the window. This was about a month ago, and it's still not fixed. After the big fight last night, I'm a little nervous to ask him about it. Clearly, he has a temper. But I wish he would fix it before it starts snowing - which should be any day now.

Did you watch Dawson's Creek last night? It was terrible. Just awful. I can't really go into it now, but it's like the writers aren't even trying anymore. No effort. It makes me so mad. And yet I still watch. Hey, I made a funny joke the other day. While we were at Disney, we took a tour and they were saying that the movie "Instinct" was filmed there. I said, "Instinct? It stinked!" Ha ha! I kill me.

You really, really have to go read Stee's Open Letter to his Co-Workers. Stee is fucking hilarious.

Clearly, Jennifer Love Hewitt needs to get a new publicist. Her current one actually lets her speak in interviews, and either she's an idiot or she just comes off as one. I'm leaning towards the former.

Glenn Quinn (Doyle) seems to be leaving Angel. I heard he was, then I heard he wasn't, but this sounds pretty official.

In other Angel news, David Boreanaz is getting a divorce.

It makes me laugh when a new industry gets messed up by the web. First book retailing. Then real estate. Then auto buying. Now Hollywood. Yay!
