This is my last week of full time work at First Midwest Financial Group. After friday, I become a consultant, and therefore my costs just increased about 100% or more. Benefits of being a 'consultant'. Going to go to Godzilla practice today, catching a ride with Jeremy. So much for the 4 hour commute.

Now I've moved onto multi throws. I think I've done all of King's, even the elusive Rolling Death Cradle, and I've now started to do Anna's and Nina's. But before I master those, I'm going to put the Playstation away again so I start working on the walls in the apartment in preparation for my family visiting this weekend.

Number 6 down. That makes six Ludlum books down the drain. I finished the Ostermann Weekend today after Godzillapractice. In other news, learned some more of Anna and Nina's multi parts before packing up the Playstation. Oh, it's my turn for cooking tomorrow.On tap, Nantucket Fireman's Supper. Hope I don't screw that one up. And my family is coming this sunday to view my apartment and take us out to brunch.

Alright, I think I've got this web admin licked. It's working down pat now, so updates from the non windows world of Ridge Warren are now possible. I think I'm going to get some tequila and some Kalhua brownies for after dinner tonight. Also a snickers before I head home seeing as I haven't eaten anything today. Went to bed at 4:30 AM and started readingTom Clancy's Rainbow Six, a slight deviation from Ludlum.

Security is paramount, and now has been achieved. There are ways around everything, including problem filled scripts. So the administration of these pages is now secure. Really.

More tweaking of the web page. It's always changing, okay, that's a lie. I've added truly random ad banners to the bottom of the pages. And if anyone out there wants to advertise here, please let me know, and I'll add you to the list.

Alright, I'm done tweaking for a while. I'm satisfied with how the page works. Although on the horizon is an archive script, which should be just around the corner. Maybe this weekend?

Journalist. Shot of Tequila. Margarita. Party Punch. Bacardi Cocktail.Gimlet. Tamarind and Rum. Kahlua and milk. All that equals one hell of a night. In other news, the dinner went alright, Ted helped me cook. The only problem was that the Nantucket Fireman's Supper was a little bland. Ted suggests a couple cloves of garlic.

Kahlua and Vodka with milk. We're all out of Kahlua now. No residual effects from the cocktails this morning. Dishes didn't get done, floor didn't get cleaned in the kitchen. Maybe I'll cut out work early to clean up. Another Godzilla practice, and another ride with Jeremy.

So this is the end. After today, just some odds and ends tying up loose ends for work, but that's it. Now have to concentrate on just school and ultimate and the apartment. In other news, might visit with the triumverate this weekend, up at Marquette.

What's in store? Super Just Games if Karl brings back a car. Grocery shopping, again, if Karl brings back the car. He's also going to try and bring back that used bike I got from him for $5. Or, we could all just hang around the apartment and work on the walls. Touch choice.

Well, the brief foray into Clancy Land has finished, as Rainbow Sixwas just finished about 5 minutes ago. Last night went to Super Just Games. The only new game they had was Time Crisis II, which isn't all thatnew anyway. Played one game of Tekken 3. Played some ultimate today, but no meeting with old friends from high school. Plans are now for Labor day. Parents and brother are visiting tomorrow, for brunch and hopefully some grocery shopping.

Well, it's going to try to be on. I'm supposed to go out to Fox Lake to spend the day with James and Case, and now it's just a matter of figuring out how to get out there and how to get back. That's the real challenge.But today, my parents came out, saw the place, liked it, didn't have that much of a problem considering the state that it's in. They also took Karland I grocery shopping, and brought plenty of food from home.

Spent the Day out with friends in lovely Fox Lake. Good time with good hosts, the Unverzagts, with good friends, James and Case, and Jen Pope. Maybe this will even be a tradition among friends. The 5 hours of commute is a killer, but I did start another Ludlum book, The Chancellor Manuscript.Tomorrow brings the start of the apartment work week. Should be a blast.

Well, instead of getting up early to work on the apartment, I got up and went to my bank, the closest branch of which is in Skokie, or is it Wilmette. Anyway, on the way back I went to Old Orchard and got a nice juicer for the bar. But I'm back now, and with no Godzilla practice today, I've got hours to spend with the walls of Ridge Warren. Oh, and by making some deposits, I can pay the phone bill now, along with the Trib bill.

Not quite, but soon. I spent some time yesterday working on the walls, scraping moldings. This morning I finished up The Chancellor Manuscriptand now will spend more time on the walls before Godzilla practice later tonight at UIC.

Practice went well for me, I thought. Nothing like running around for a couple hours to loosen up the joints. Ordered a second line for the net access in the apartment. It's going to be installed the 22nd of September. That's quite a way aways.

Patching today. Practice again today. That's it.

Well, I'm still up, after playing ultimate for a couple hours, eating a ham and cheese sandwich and a slice of pizza for dinner, and washing a couple parts of walls, and some Mountain Dews. Oh, and I've been watching Karl and/or Ted play Monkey Island 2 for some time as well. Tomorrow, errr, today brings more work on the apartment and figuring out how I'm going to get out to Tune-Up.

Recompiled my kernel last night, actually this morning at approximately 5:30 AM. Worked the first time through, I was pleasantly surprised. Made the phone call I was supposed to make this morning, and now must go in to get a meal plan for the coming year and get a pair of green shorts to hopefully match my Godzilla jersey. Hopefully I can do some more work on the apartment today, and get to bed early for Tune-Up tomorrow.

The return of Cafeteria food, at least for lunch, is assured. I got a five meal a week board contract today and returned to Alison for lunch. It's sure going to pale in comparison to the steak I'm going to have for dinner. Thanks Mom! In other news, I'm going to have to be at the Sheridan El stop at 7 AM tomorrow morning to hitch a ride to Naperville.Oh, the perils of not having a car. Punishment. I wasn't able to get a pair of green shorts for this weekend either.

Just got back from Tune-Up today, pretty killer. Good ultimate, hot day, well played. Godzilla went 1-4 today, beating Control Board from DC to not be last place in their pool. Once again I played mostly defensive points and even scored a couple points. And to get home I got a ride from Noel. And it seems like lots of people are back in town, so welcome back to them.

Godzilla went 2-1 today, winning one by 1 point, and losing the last one by 1 point. To CUT. If we had beaten them I would have no hair right now. Also I'm really tan. And tired. And I dropped the disc on what could have been game point for us.

Pretty much any type of sustained activity results in the begining of a cramp. Hate those first tournaments of the season. Played a little ultimate today, at Deering, tomorrow at Long before going to Godzilla practice. Now, considering how I feel, maybe I should have skipped. Other than that, a little work on the Ghoti page and some work on Ridge Warren.

Well, hot box in the afternoon, and Godzilla practice at night. The fun just never stops. So I guess I can't make it to the meeting about building for 3Penny, and I can't work on the apartment.I'll just be playing ultimate for 4 hours today. Loving every minute.

I'm sore. An hour of hotbox, followed by an hour and a half of Zilla practice, and I'm tired, and I'm sore. I hurt. Don't let me do this again. Alright, yeah, let me do it again. It is ultimate.

I'm looking to get a bookshelf today, not just any bookshelf, but a monster of a bookshelf, where I can put everything and the kitchen sink on. After that, I get to go and learn how to build some more sets for Three Penny Opera. Just more ways for me to spend my time. And then more ultimate, both Monkey and Godzilla.

Well, doing laundry right now, and will procede to do some work on the apartment, much like late last night. After that, lunch on campus, maybe pick up an old computer from a friend's dorm room, and then some ultimatebefore dinner at home and an early bedtime.

Hopefully I'll get the sleep I need for this weekend of ultimate. It's a pretty important weekend too, we have to do well. And I have to play as the long that I am. And that is all for this weekend.

Actually, it wasn't that long, but I now feel like I've been on a long weekend. Godzilla did alright this weekend, going 5-2, losing to Cutters this morning and Z later this afternoon. That puts us in 4th place most likely going to regionals in three weeks down in Naperville. I personally played tired; playing ultimate 5 days inbetween Tune-Up and Sectionals was a very bad idea. But staying with a club team is so much different than travelling with a college team. I had a bed, everyone almost had a bed last night, some of us had Prime Rib for dinner, a dip in the hot tub and the swimming pool made for a very nice night. Tomorrow brings more work on the apartment, which isn't quite finished, and really nothing else. I also need to make an appointment at Jay's for a haircut.

Alright, I've also got an ultimate meeting today and after that lunch. But the choice comes later, work on building a set or work on building the apartment? Do I need a decent place to live or do I need to keep my word and work as stage crew? That's something I'm going to have a tough choice deciding.

Didn't get around to arranging for a haircut yesterday, Jay's is closed on mondays. Today, I guess. More work on the apartment, half of my ThinkDifferent posters came today, waiting on the rest of the network cable for the apartment, and no Godzilla practice today, but I do have Vomit Monkey practice.

I cooked dinner tonight, Orange Glazed Chicken, with a dessert of German Apple Torte which I actually have to go eat right now. But dinner went well, and I'm still hungry.

Well, first day of my last year in college. On monday and wednesday I go 11-12, 1-2, then 2:30-4. US History to 1865, AI Programming, and Building Internet Services, in that order. US History might be interesting, the Professor is definitely good, AI should be good, and BIS should be enjoyableas well. Tomorrow is Operating Systems, which is supposed to be programming intesive. And the usual as well, Vomit Monkey then Godzilla practice. Oh, and I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow at 9:40.

I made my first ethernet cables tonight. I wired the rest of Ridge Warrenup to the hub, so we're all connected now. The hub lights up like Christmas.It's pretty exciting. I'm a glutton, I put two cables running into my room.

I was a coach, then a player of ultimate today. Makes it a little difficult today. So now I have to do dishes and clean the bathroom. Tomorrow I go home for a day, to pick up ultimate stuff out of my trunk. So that means a nice train ride, except this time I'm going to try to use the bus to get there. I'm also going to try and get my books tomorrow morning.

Well, home was nice, as always. Came back with food and green shorts and cones and insoles and pennies and frisbees, but no green bike. Maybe next time. Had to do the dishes when I came back, my turn. I didn't go to a party tonight, want to work on the apartment, but I'm doing this instead. Trying to get the second phone line in the apartment established as well. Tomorrow is a challenge, having to get down to Godzilla practice without any sorts of rides. Should be a long day.

Should be anyway, just reading I have to do for class. History. New ways of looking at the same stuff. Tomorrow I have to cook, which means warming up food from home, which I think is Cornish Hens. Should be good.Got a full day of class tomorrow, and need to renew a book from the Evanston Public Library and bring others back, and go to the NU Library with my laptop to do some big downloads, mostly NetBSD for my IIsi. Maybe tomorrow night.

I'm at the library, using the bandwidth that my parents' tuition dollars buys me, instead of the measly v.34 at Ridge Warren, which will be more constant considering our second phone line was completely installed today.Performing massive downloads that would be impossible over a modem.

The library books due back on the 26th are now 3 days late at least. I still haven't finished The Aquatine Progression. Do I finish it before I return it? Or not?

There were troubles accessing the net today, busy signals all over the place. I did laundry tonight, so I've got plenty of clean clothes to play ultimate in. The room is looking a little better, cleaned up anyway.I'm trying to archive all the multimedia stored on the old Mac IIsi, in preparation to set up linux or netBSD on it soon. I'm hoping to use it for at least my C95 Building Internet Service class as my internet server testbox.

More public transportation for me, to Godzilla practice. At least now I'll be able to do some reading for my US History class and since my OS assignment was given an extension, I might be able to get some sleep tonight.
