ALRIGHT! A consulting company I've worked with in the past confirmed that I am on a 10 day software install, that probably will be extended to a month! And it pays more than unemployment insurance!!!!! Thank you St. Jude. Now, if I can parlay it into something more perm like, that would be great!. Well, 6 1/2 hours before I have to make a good impression. I'm going to have to run someclothes through the laundry. Speaking of which, is there a washer/dryer on Serenity? Hum....

i figured it'd be easier to get another messenger acct than to have to put people through typing 'conejaesposa'. so, it's syrynmuerte and i have a firefly peep catagory. had the safer meal, pork and gravy atop no-egg egg noodles. reminded of OIS: no egg in it, is it still considered an egg noodle made hot cocoa last night from dove dark promises and some hershey's dark chips. it was so dark i swear, it ate through my throat. contemplating. do i make the last batch of cookies. (oatmeal, choc chip and walnut) today or wait til sunday to make them. yeah, think i'll wait. tomorrow will be my busy day, at an all day meeting. can't believe i finally move out here and patiently anticipate a balloon festival(hot air), it comes and i can't go because i don't have my car. and congrats to the saturn probe(cassini/hugyen), it made it! listening to the classical music that comes on after npr. had gotten to where i looked forward to the newspaper i never ordered being plopped on my front yard. didn't get it today :-( have a log elsewhere but i think i'll take a break from it the next few days. and have a local log for where i live, but no one seems to be on in this area. (they mostly just use on-line for email and research)

I have to preface this by saying that until this moment, I didn't actually own Firefly. I only saw it for the first time in late October after a friend had sent me his DVDs to watch. Then when my brother asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I said Firefly! I prepared to patiently wait until Christmas, knowing that Firefly was on its way and I would be able to watch it over and over and over soon. It started getting close to Christmas, but no package arrived. I figured that he had probably had it delivered to home, since I go home for Christmas every year. I go home, but still no package. I talked to my sister-in-law on Christmas Eve, and she said they had ordered my present a while ago and had had it shipped to Mom and Dad's address because that's where I would be. I pass a couple more days at home before I have to go back, but it never arrives. So I go back to Bozeman disappointed. A week after Christmas my mom calls to tell me that a package from Amazon just arrived. Since I was planning on going home the next week anyway, I told her to just hang onto it rather than make them pay to have to send it down to me. Now we're coming up on the me being stupid part. Montana got one heck of a winter storm on Wednesday and Thursday. I had planned on leaving Thursday after work, but Mom vetoed that and made me wait to come by daylight. So today I leave Bozeman to go home. It's about 160 mile drive. The roads are not the greatest, to put it mildly. About a half dozen times along the way, I say to myself, "This is ridiculous. I should turn around and go back before I end up in the ditch." But then the devil (or angel, or River) on my other shoulder reminds me that Firefly is waiting for me at home. And like a carrot dangled before the mule, the idea of watching Firefly tonight is enough to keep me going. To make a long story short (too late!), my ferret and I made it home in one piece, and I opened my package to find that not only did my brother get me Firefly, he also got Shaun of the Dead too! This is going to be a great weekend.
