Daniel, I had microcenter do it. Either they left the old card in, or they kept it. We're going to make them fix it. (Edit: I appreciate the suggestion though. It's a good one. I'd do it if I knew what I was doing without blowing something up.)

Thanks for the pillows! And tea! and hugs! You guys are so cool you've forced me to abuse the exclamation point.

TCG's car was in the shop Wednesday and back in today. I dropped him off a little while ago to pick it up. He just called, and it needs more work so he won't have it back until Monday. So car ~ma for him and logistics~ma for me as I figure out how to get everything done for guests on Monday with one car.

Oy, much car-ma sj!

I hearby announce that girls have a distinct ability to PISS ME OFF.

(For the second time in less six months, a girl with distinct potential got back together with an ex-boyfriend in the midst of our... courtship is probably the wrong word, right? But whatever. Early stages, totally kosher, but still annoying.)

ETA: In other news, when you were a computer science major and general math geek, and now teach math, and have spent your whole life in academic pursuits, making a resumé for a professional musical theater training program is hard.

computer~ma for Deena and car~ma for TCG.

Sorry Gris, girls can be annoying. Boys too.

Math and music use similar logic. Um, unhelpful.

Girls and boys both piss me off. I only find boys to be more predictable.

I just... for most things I'm applying for, starting with my education makes total sense. But a Caltech degree in Engineering is a lot less impressive for a singing-and-dancing gig than it is for a financial one.

Which training program? I might know folks involved with it and be able to give you some tips on who to contact and how to approach them.

It sounds like the car is going to be expensive to fix. We're trying to clean our place up now from hurricane Christmas. It looks awful in here.
