Now for a long overdue photo post (with nothing too significant):


Here we see my beloved Mr. Helen, who has been taken from Grandma Bonny's kitchen corner back to his throne on top of my TV. He still loves Mr. Max Ryan, as you can see. Mr. Helen is the best fish ever, and he's going to live forever.








Here we see some new toys. On the left is my "Ass of the Year" trophy (the first trophy I've ever won). Also, Amy got a lovely unicorn toy that stabs people with its horn. You have your choice of hippie lady, business man, or mime.









Gillian, our Graduate Supervisor, made new name tags for the doors in Hillcrest. Our penguins look like they were modeled after Jim and Bonny Saraceno, don't you agree?










Last, but not least, Amy made our dartboard a little more exciting. Now when we play darts, whoever gets darts in the most painful places wins. I always try to go for the jugular.








Anyway, I'm currently working my first overnight shift at UITS. It's 3:09 am, and I got here at midnight. I'll be here till 8 am. I'm very happy that I work here, because I talked to another UITS employee who also works at "The Mac Experience" in Bloomington, and he has a solution to my Powerbook problem. This solution does NOT involve replacing the entire motherboard, as the douchebag at CompUSA said I would have to do. AND I may even be able to get the repairs covered by my AppleCare Warranty! Woohoo for cheaper/free repairs!

In other news, I successfully put together my bike trainer for the first time 2 days ago. It's fantastic being able to work out right in front of my TV! So, I rode my road bike while watching horrible MTV reality shows! What a wonderful life I lead. It's fantastic, especially when the weather's crummy. However, it would be even cooler to have this.

Anyway, I'm going to attempt to get some homework done during the rest of my shift. Huzzah for good classes, a good place of employment, great friends, and fun material items.

If that penguin was truly modeled after ME, it would be grasping and pushing a folding chair while attempting to ice skate...And the male penguin isn't fishing with a fly rod, so that couldn't possibly be your father...Just wanted to clarify that so your loyal readers didn't get the wrong idea...xoxo Mammy

"You have your choice of hippie lady, business man, or mime."

That's an allegory for life itself if I ever heard one.
