Fears
Here’s where things get scary… We are now where the rubber meets the road…The money is starting to add up in my head: $300 for books, $400 deposit me, $300 deposit cats, truck rental, cable internet connection, a bike… It’s hard to look at these numbers and think it’s going to be ok. Suzanne reminds me that I’ve been broke, I can do broke and happy… actually broke and happy works a lot better than…

Children's Tears
My last day of work at Children’s. Before I could even make my pot of coffee I saw it… a gift bag from Chen. Pencils, pens, notebooks, folders and more- almost all with a Spiderman theme. I was brought to tears (just now again too, as I write this). After the coffee was brewed I cried over the first cup just thinking of all the wonderful people that I had the opportunity to work with…

Finding an Apartment
It’s not quite as easy as I had hoped it would be. I drove down to VA Beach on Thursday to find an apartment. There were lots of places that were not available until October. Very few places that are taking cats. I even called places to rent just “a room”… here is one example of how that went: I left a message. At around 5 she called back to tell me she didn’t have…

Parent Visit
Ma and Pa (please notice, just like Clark Kent) and Rhonda and Greg (my sister and her husband) came to visit me in the “big city”. I wore them out almost immediately walking about town and through one museum. The truly enjoyed the vegetation, flowers and wildlife… I’m not kidding. My family comes to visit the most powerful city in the world and they truly enjoyed the wildlife more than the memorials… it was cute.…

The results of my English Placement tests are as follows:Reading: Score 92Writing Skills: Score 92now, is that 92 of 100? or 92 out of 1984567? no idea… they say it’s really good thou, so lets assume 100. The results of my Math are a little less promising:Pre-Algebra: Score 45Algebra: Score 28 After talking with the adviser…

Open letter to the people of Britain: Is the cost of freedom… freedom?
When terror struck the U.S. on 9/11, fear struck the land of the free. Fear of more attacks, fear of lost loved ones, and fear of more fear. I was in Washington, DC the day the planes struck, and can clearly recall how it felts with each passing moment. Nothing compares to those feelings of hopelessness, fear and terror… and I thought nothing could make me feel safe again. Soon, the country rallied: flags were…

Batman Begins… thankfully
I truly enjoyed Batman Begins. I loved Christian Bale as Bruce/Batman, he was great (sometimes I flashed back to his character in American Psycho… he’s scary). The villians were well crafted as well… and a young Jim Gordon was spectacular. I would like to say this is the best superhero movie to date…
