The Last Two Weeks

I've been out a while. Two weeks ago, I was at my Grandma's with Mom for our traditional "vacation." We didn't do much -- shopping, visiting relatives, etc. I was mostly a hindrance, if you believed my mother -- my erratic sleep schedule caused me to sleep till (gasp!) 11:00, which Mom considers "late". They also didn't like that I wasn't too keen on their eating schedule -- dinner at 4:30 in the afternoon? No lunch at all? C'mon...

After that, I had my interview at the Northrop Grumman office. They were interviewing me for several summer positions, many of which involving being on their factory floor assembling PCs. But there was a person there who needed a Linux programmer, and he seems like he's going to hire me -- talking about work schedules and such. I'll prolly find out on Monday or thereabouts.

Then came my trip to Williamsburg to see robertliguori and tadakimacun. V. enjoyable. Here were some of the things we did:

• Went to see Shrek 2. Hilarious. All of you must see it. Now.
• Meandered around Merchant Square, where I bought another Terry Pratchett novel (Small Gods), a collection of Bathroom Reader books, and a deck of those clear plastic cards that seem all the rage with the Spielers these days. This was all followed with a bit of ice cream and some poorly-shuffled 5-card draw poker. Then looking around in a used bookstore, where I picked up a seldom-read copy of Catch-22 for 4 bucks.
• Saw Chicago at tadakimacun's house. Not bad, for a musical. Also saw the episodes of The Animatrix that weren't up for public download.
• Played lots of Soul Calibur 2 for the Playstation 2, mainly cause tadakimacun's copy got wasted by a 6-year-old some months back and she was suffering withdrawal.
• Went to tadakimacun's high school graduation. Lots of speeches and such, as is customary. Seems to be the only high school I know that has an alma mater. We then went to a social gathering to help tadakimacun escape her relatives, and I met some more of her friends.
• The day after, we went to Outback Steakhouse and celebrated said graduation. If I may say so, tadakimacun really looks nice when she's all dolled up.
• Went to EB Games, where I found a copy of Unreal, which I had been curious about.
• Finished Mirror Dance, finally. Not an uplifting book, by any means. Think I'll tackle Small Gods next. Or possibly The Truth.
• MSTed The Return of the King with robertliguori and tadakimacun. We're all sick and twisted :-)

The results are clear; spending time with robertliguori and tadakimacun is much more enjoyable than spending it with my relatives. A million thanks, you two, for making it so.*hugs* And thanks to robertliguori's parents for being so kind as to let me stay over there for a week.

So, what's next? Origins, that's what. I leave the Tuesday after next. I'll prolly be back in town the following Monday. In the meantime, I get to work on more job stuff, and maybe get started working on my projects. Whee.

So right it's scary...
