Oh, right. Nothing. School is school. First exams of the semester have come and gone and scores have come and gone, and nothing new; I'm at the bottom of the top, like usual. The house has descended into cold war, and I'm pretty much holed up here in front of the computer. I took up with the Iowa Public Interest Research Group, and they're getting some of my scant (and sometimes borrowed) volunteer time. Weekends are pretty easygoing. I have a few new gadgets, including a new wireless keyboard and mouse (old set burned out after a couple years) and an iPod. It's fun.

 

Mostly I'm just sorting myself out some more, like usual. Birthday in about a month, so that'll be nice. It's an excuse to get people to hang out with me. Like I said: I'm taking things day-by-day, and seeing if I can't make things get a little bit better at a time.

 

So, everybody should be in touch, seriously. Drop me a line, because I'm not good at keeping up with everybody I know. It doesn't mean that I don't like you, I promise.
