Hehe, nice.

Update: Huge sigh of relief for me - the first prof I emailed about letters replied with a yes. Huge boost I really needed right now. This weekend I'm going to crank out everything I need to finish my app and hopefully I'll get yeses from the other two as well and I can submit everything. I am hoping to not have any breakdowns before then. After that, I don't care, but before would really suck.

More people I know have their birthday on February 25th than on any other day of the year. My sister. Her boyfriend. My friend Daniel and his brother. My old boss up in Alaska. My godmother. So many fuckin' people.

It's supposed to snow here in Livermore today. I'm glad it hasn't though, I really don't ever wanna be around snow again and that is one of the many reasons I moved back here in the first place. Until last year, it hadn't snowed for thirty damn years, and now we're getting dustings of it one day out of the year. WTF.

Before work today I went and had a beer with the girl I've been talking to. We had a pretty rad time, a few awkward bits where we just kinda looked at each other and grinned sheepishly. We're about to go hang out together again now that I'm off. Weird how quickly that started happening, I'm really hoping things stay chill for a while. Wanna be sure I'm not fucking up a perfectly good friendship by being all Interested.

Damn. A drunk driver just took out a parked car just down the street. I heard the thumps and went out to see what happened. I was the first to his car. His airbag had gone off, and his face was bloody, but he seemed otherwise uninjured. His first words to me were "I'm sorry, I'm not used to this ukulele."

He was easily going 80 or 90mph judging by the damage to the cars and how far he had knocked the parked car. His right front hit the left rear and pushed the left rear wheel to under the driver's seat. The parked car bounced off of a fire hydrant as well, but only bent it a little. He had come from the sports bar down the street and said he had "3 or 4 beers".  :psyduck:

I assume you did the sensible thing, and snapped his neck, then pretended he must have died in the crash?

Jimor:
Too many witnesses from around the neighborhood out by that time (this happened 12:45 am my time). Though I'm sure the folks whose car got hit would have quietly looked the other way. Before he hit the car, he had also hit a pile of tree cuttings on the street waiting for pickup and scattered branches and logs everywhere. One piece also went through the front bedroom window of this same family (no injuries from that at least, just a mess of glass in the room).

Oh, and since I'm already writing a post in this thread, in case some of you missed it in the "Sounds of QC" thread, we're going to see if we can launch a forum radio play using board talent. Details up in this thread in the Creativity sub forum.  :mrgreen:
