Long time no post

Sorry bout that, things are a little crazier than normal lately. First thing being that the macbook crashed and oh how it crashed hard. Failed fans, logic board and hard drive. It was literally easier to ask “what is working”. Slowly but surely, I’m redoing it to it’s pre-crash state. The backups were relatively old and syncing back caused a lot of redundant data that had to be deleted.

But, I finally finished reorganizing the external drives, so…I started the backup clones again. And I should mention Time Machine didn’t suck as much as I thought it did.

ANYWAY.  It’s also football season which means much more travel fun times for me. Also, it means very full Saturdays or eating, sitting, and watching. Sometimes there’s screaming followed by praying for miracles. And for once in my life I questioned the “it’s not like they can hear you” statement made this weekend as we screamed at the tv while sitting in Quixotes. WHY? Because Quixotes is in down town Auburn.

But apparently USC once again neglected to focus on it’s “easy” games while the rest of the world is out to get them. So there will be a new #1. According to the data I compiled last year, a top 5 team losing to an unranked team falls an average of 10 places. But it’s USC and they seem to always get the benefit of the doubt, so I’m betting on #9. But check out the stat I found on ESPN this morning that is painful considering this weekend Auburn takes on Tennessee. Finally stating “go big blue” might actually make sense becuase the student body is calling for a blue-out. (Both teams prefer Orange, so this week, we prefer blue).

Back from ATL!

Me with Michael Hogan)Dragon*Con was tons of fun and I met a TON of new people. We got some amazing pictures including pictures of me attempting to fight a Dalek from Doctor Who (I was dressed as Cassandra from Soul Calibur 4 at the time).

I also picked up a hilarious Doctor Who shirt. “Tardis Express: when it absolutely has to be there before you sent it”. LOL.

I haven’t finished compiling all the pictures yet, but for now be satisfied with my awesome picture (courtesy of Bob) with Michael Hogan (aka, Saul Tigh on Battlestar Galactica). He was so amazingly nice that it was really hard to believe he plays a hardass, drunken XO.

As far as Ichi goes, she seemed to finally enjoy her time being boarded. This was a significantly longer time than normal, and while she was VERY excited to see me, she wasn’t as “OMG I”M HOME” as normal. Usually she sniffs all the grass as we come in and then the whole house. This time she walked proudly back home and pretty much pounced on her stuffed tiger upon entering. Then she took a LONG nap. Play time at the vet must have been fun.
