Mom quote from dinner the other night:

“I thought I saw a cell phone case the other day that had a picture of Peter Griffin in a thong on it, but it was actually just a starfish.”

It’s a shame the sound of disappointment that it was just a starfish can’t be accurately conveyed via the web.

Hmm… a Harry Potter Humpday card… um… yeah, happy early V-Day!

I think that today’s class just might go down in history as one of the worst. most boring days of class I’ve ever had the displeasure of sitting through. Even the fact that Matt was sitting two seats away from me looking at Vivid girls for a desktop wallpaper did nothing to lighten the mood in the place. Tomorrow I think we’ve got a test on the basic info and differences between inpatient and outpatient patient databases. As much as I hate tests after only 2 days of class, anything aside from sitting in my desk for 2h 30m surfing the bare bones of the net is good in my eyes.

Eddie and I played a bit of FFXI tonight. I’m trying to get refamiliarize myself with the controls and haven’t been doing any hardcore grinding yet, and both of us are just playing with lower level jobs for the time being. And while it’s not officially announced yet, it appears as though the next expansion pack will have pirates corsairs, which looks terribly cool and makes me want to preorder it for the sake of being able to say I’m a Ninja/Pirate.

Right now, I think it’s a good time for a shower. It’s still early enough that my hair will dry a bit before bed, meaning I should be required to wet it in the morning to force it back into something normal.

We got up hella early to meet Mom at Walmart for 8:30am. From there we followed her into Cranston to dig some holes at a preschool that was getting some new landscaping done, and it looks really good even without anything in bloom right now. Come springtime there will be a lot of flowers and it will look very nice. After we finished the flowers hit FedEx/Kinkos to mailed out the geisha monkey. Then we went to Petco and looked at their ferrets and their cat condos. Pickle won’t be getting a buddy or a climbing spot yet, since it’s almost rent time. I’m still keeping my eyes open on craigslist though. We picked up a poster frame at Micheals because they were 50% off and we got it for $17 rather than $34, and I snagged a few $1 spools of ribbon for assorted projects. After we grabbed lunch at Walt’s (mmm… roast beef and cheese) we went down to Mom’s house, where I spent the day taking pictures of Jazz and working on the afghan. I managed to finish almost 2 sections, which I’m pleased with, and it’s starting to actually look like the picture on the pattern. Danielle came over for a visit and dropped off some pictures, including my 10th grade school picture that I got into a heap of shit over with my dad because I wore a hat in it. there was also a video of me and my best friend Andrea doing the electric slide on her front lawn prior to our 9th grade semi formal, but we left that over at Mom’s.

The next few days I’ll be home, enjoying my days off before we go back to class. I plan on working on the afghan and trying to clean my desk off. I also want to make a hat out of a smaller batch of really fuzzy blue yarn.

But for now, we’re heading to the bedroom to watch the rest of the news and SNL, providing I can stay awake.
