In Other News

So now that I have the important stuff out of the way (for now), I can bore you all with the unimportant stuff. So, without further ado, a large bullet list:

  • Our party is coming up in less than a month. Woo-hoo! And there are people who are actually coming. We've finally sent invites, so the RSVPs are trickling in. We're meeting with our caterer this afternoon to get some details ironed out and get the pertinent info to our venue.
  • My interview in LA went well. They asked for more references. And I've noticed quite a few hits to this site from surrounding areas (hi guys!). Not much more to say yet -- I'll keep you updated.
  • Mari hosted an awesome Cinco de Mayo party. There are pictures for the non faint-of-heart. You may see people smooching. You have been warned.
  • School is over, but I'm still on campus, working. Things are very quiet, which is always nice.
  • The weather here as been ugly. Rainy and cold for about the past week. What happened to spring?
  • I've started reading another webcomic called Wondermark. I recommend it. You don't need to read the archives to jump on board and immediately start enjoying it.
  • Samantha and I saw Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit the other night. Also highly recommended.
  • The Minnesota Twins are going to kill me yet. They featured timely hitting and decent pitching for the first two games of their series with the dreaded White Sox, and yesterday looked to be more of the same after the first inning yielded a score of 7-3. But then Carlos Silva gave up five more runs and I died a little inside. Argh. Inconsistent poor performance is worse than consistent poor performance.
  • I'm toying around with the idea of making my Windows machine at home a dual-boot with Linux. A friend got me thinking about this when she handed me an Ubuntu CD. Any thoughts from the resident computer nerds on this?
  • I'm halfway through Wheel of Time 11. Oh dear Lord, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. If I can do this, I think I can read just about anything. Because reading this series has honestly been like reading an 8,000 page book. Even 19th century Russian novelists will crumble beneath my might. So what am I going to read next? I'm open to suggestions.
  • Oh, and I'm first in my fantasy baseball league. Woot!

What's up with you, people?

As far as Linux distributions go, Ubuntu is the best choice for someone like you. I installed it at work, and it's totally painless. I wouldn't run Ubuntu on a machine that's too slow to run Windows XP well, though -- it contains the GNOME desktop environment, which is total bloatware.

I noticed that, too. People searching for your name have been coming across my sites, probably because you're on my list of friends.
