I forgot what I wrote last time so it may be a repeat.

Working a great job where i get to get up at 8:30 in the morning and start at 9:00 doing tech support and writing articles. Get to stay home with the dogs and as long as I do my work, I can take a longer lunch and just have a nice degree of freedom.

Lawsuit for the accident is set for next year. It'll be nice to be able to put it behind us.

That's about it. More of the same and trying some new places around Vegas. We've been trying to do some more exploring. Found a great sandwich shop last week.

So yeah, that's the news... found a sandwich shop.
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Rose was born at home after a two hour labour weighing a healthy 9 LBS. Proud daddy with a beautiful daughter.

Congratulations! That's awesome! =D

Oh, I also got an iPad 2 and it's pretty nice. Wonders when Chucara will write an Unwashed Villagers App.

I got a Master's Degree in Philosophy, which pretty much makes me better than everything except jujubes.

I went back and finished my math degree!  I am so fucking happy about it, hahah.  Now I have a degree in english and a degree in math!  I went and took the praxis 2 in math content knowledge, and I fucking got one wrong, so that's not that cool.  On the bright side, I still got the praxis award for being a smart-ass or whatever.  SOON I WILL TEACH THE NATION'S CHILDREN

I'm freaking out
Nowhere near my place and I

I can't quite decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

You know, like solving all the world's problems by using the Death Star.

I was thinking along similar lines.

But we all know Thanatos is a real softie at heart. He'll be a great teacher despite his best efforts to the contrary.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Thanatos - I, the new guy, reply that I, the new guy, am engaged to a soon-to-be teacher...she's doing sciencey stuff. She just graduated with her Masters and this will be her first year as a full-blown teacher :D

A good sandwich shop can make a HUGE difference in your life.

12 years since I met my bride and moved up here with her... twelve years in, I am still searching for a suitable Italian Combo that equals the one I could get in my old town.

My life is prettymuch perfect, except for that Italian combo...

My house is finally sold (after 15 months of being on the market...and me not living there.)

Granted, it sold for $30,000 less than what I mortgaged it for 9 years ago, and I bought out my ex-wife for 20% of it's appreciation back in the day when it was worth more, so it was a very expensive house in the end, but at least I'm free of the damn thing!

Mh, what's going on in my life.

Sound like a psychologist question.
Well, in a way, everything's fine. Still painting (no as often as I want), learning science stuff, and if we don't really look close, I steal in good shape. And, after all, life continue to be a great thing to live. So ...

But in another way, as everybody noticed (because of my incredibly-well-wrote english), I'm french, so I live in a kind of troubled country. OK, it will certainly be badly interpreted, because we aren't a poor country, we still have government, etc ... but things are going more wild every days.
Anyway, exepts those little things, and if we exept the fact that I really have to finish my play, and accept to expose myself in somes little galery, my life just look like as she always have : unfinished and shaky. And that's fine to me.
Can't turn a washing machine in time-travelling machine. But a friend of my cousin said he did.

I've just confirmed that I'm marrying a geek.  She uses the word "syntax" in conversation.
It is awesome.

At least you don't live in Greece.
