Hooray train internet access!
My last entry in Russian. Was me venting off steam about a decision I made yesterday (or more accurately, the reactions I got from friends on the decision). It was the right decision for me to make, and to be honest I should have made it a couple months ago when I first started feeling this way. But yes, the reactions surprised (and irritated) me a bit. Especially when I was encouraged to speak my mind on the subject. I’m sorry they feel it puts them in a difficult place, but I was very careful in my email wording to speak only for myself and didn’t presume to speak for anyone else (even those who had been agreeing with me in private).
My box set of the X-Files arrived yesterday. Now I need to go through my old tapes and find my blooper reels and such that won’t be on them, to make sure I save those somehow. Otherwise – anyone want a ton of VHS tapes? 
And when I say a ton, I mean it. Those who watched me put the collection together can vouch. Two episodes per tape, all tapes numbered in order. I can guarantee I have through season 7 complete. After that, it might get a bit shaky. A few episodes in the 1st season are pretty bad quality because they were tapes of tapes (of possibly tapes). Otherwise, everything is probably in good order.
I’m very jealous of the people going to see the taping of Friday Night Project tonight with David Tennant. Very jealous. I will, however, enjoy watching it late tomorrow night or Saturday morning with the rest of the non-UK crowd.
I’m not really sure what the fuss over on OG is about regarding Who being on at 6:20, but that’s probably just because I’m used to watching new Who at around 5:30 p.m. my time on Saturdays.
Took yesterday off for mental health after the commute from hell on Tuesday. Wound up being a good thing anyway due to leg pain (from standing for so long) and some frustrations with my period that came two weeks early this month. I spent a decent amount of the day playing Warcraft – exploring the new patch that came out Tuesday. Made about 300g during the day.
Our tax refund cleared Erich’s account this morning – yay!
Talked to Mom last night… she’s doing fine, enjoying her new job that doesn’t have her driving all over Pennsylvania every week. Big news isn’t from her, but from my brother… Scott got accepted at the University of Arizona. He’s looking into student housing, and will start as a freshman in August. I’m very proud of him – and admire him for going back to school full time at age 30. He got an associate’s degree right after high school, but apparently work in the computer field wasn’t panning out as he’d hoped, and he’s decided to go back to get a full bachelor’s to help open up more options. Apparently he’s been saving money/working two jobs so he can pull this off and got the federal loans and such to support himself in it. I’m not sure what degree he’s pursuing, though… I’ll have to give him a call this weekend to see what’s what.
I’m hoping that part of this weekend is warm enough to open the windows in the house – I want to start on the spring cleaning (starting in our sunroom) on Saturday. Erich did a huge deal of work in the living room and dining room last week – so if we can get the sunroom and kitchen done this weekend, that’s one full floor of the house complete. Need to get through my old clothes soon, too.
Oop.. almost to Back Bay… time to start shutting down the laptop…
