We've got no where to go, we've got nothing to prove~

So, Dad came out to stay for a week- there was a conference here he volunteered to go to, so I got to see him~ It was fun, and, as usual, sleep deprivative. (New word!)

While he was here, my cousin came and took her stuff, including her queen sized bed I'd been using. (sadface.) My new bed is a mattress on the floor until I bring Amy's old wood post bed downstairs. (More sadface, Ellen marked it up with a clip-on light.)

Turns out said cousin is preggers too, and is due like two weeks..before..or..after Amy. I forgot which. So at leas the kid'll have company.

Daddy bought me a real chair for my computer (an ACTUAL computer chair! OMG) and a plastic teefy floor mat for in front of the desk~ He also go a lot of other small things that make my life much more convenient. OH! And he fixed the busted bike that belongs to whi-knows-who that got brought from NY. So now I has a bike! I should really try to ride it once a day for 20 minutes, but god knows I suck at that kind of commitment.

In other news, it's shaping up that Dad is officially moving to Prague for at least a year. I want to take Karl out there! Penny and Kith should coordinate and come too, so they can meet my boy and see Prague at the same time!

I'm getting more and more into the music scene, it's odd. And by that, I mean I'm exploring bands more actively. My current new adoration is The Hush Sound. I haven't found a single song that I've skipped of theirs. My favorite song of theirs would be The Lighthouse.

I've decided I wanna try to systematically buy CDs of these bands I'm falling in love with, namely, She Wants Revenge, and Cobra Starship are the two on the immediate list. Though, I might just do the math and see how much a song costs per CD and just bite the bullet and buy the 99 cent MP3s if it's cheaper. But..but..the packrat/organizer in me loves CDs and their little booklets.

On the note of Prague, they has a free education system! I realized the other day just how many other avenues of knowledge I'd pursue if it was free. My job has really inspired an interest in a digital arts minor, and of course I'd take biology/zookeeping classes for personal EEEEE~. Karl and Kate moving to Prague is still a possibility, after we graddyate here. I probably wouldn't hate school if it was free and entirely my own desire.

Oh!~ Daddy bought me a Haworthia Retusa, or "white ghost". It's a succulant with semi-transparent water-filled leaves! It's ADORABLE. I love it. <_< I think my favorite plants are succulants. I was all "EEEEEE OMG CUTE" and petting them at the Home Depot.... ( http://www.karacactus.com/images/haworthia_retusa_EA1208_02.JPG )


And, uhh. What's left. This coming semester is gunna be busy. I'm grading for my advisor, and Student Teaching (both with Karl), and will still working for Peak Game Studios. I honestly look forward to those three extra-curricular activities more than the curricular ones. >_>

Ah forgot! I learned a neat key combo from a MAC USER, of all people, to bring up the task manager instantly in Vista. Control + shift + esc. Useful thing to know~

KAY~ Over and out. Time to work~
