I like to give my entries weird titles, but if nothing comes to mind, I don't mind sticking with something fairly dry that accurately describes the content or object of the post.

I haven't been up to too much since my last post. I'll work backwards from now. I'm currently playing B5 with Bruce. It's his new Valen ranger deck against my Minbari Vorlon Diplomacy. I'm definitely winning - the score is something like 13 (me) to 14 (him), but I'm holding a Support of the Mighty and about to win an Affirmation of Power for two points. I really like a lot of the new Vorlon cards. I had a blast playing that game earlier with stormcloak and azuredarkness. It was weird - for most of the game, I completely dominated in all four stats, though once stormcloak started drawing fleets, he had military. But diplomacy and intrigue, even the Minbari? No way.

Picked Freddie up from Austin last night, where he'd been since Thursday with Laurin. Lucky bastard. Also picked up this *huge* table thing from Mike's, except it's too big, so I have to take it back. That sucks. It was cool, though, 'cause I lifted it up and carried it up to the house by myself. I guess I'm still fairly strong.

School's been going okay, but I definitely have to review my calculus, hardcore. I've forgotten a lot of major things - Taylor Series, Radius of Convergence, etc. Got my Linux account today, and apparently I can do everything remotely, so that's good. That was one of my main concerns. Chem I looks like it's going to be a joke. Katie and Rose are totally down for helping me out with my Intro to Fine Arts stuff, so it looks like it's going to be a fun semester.

Work's... well, work. We've hired like five new carhops in the last week or so - Lacey, Kristen, Laurie, Ashley, and Elizabeth. Lacey is pretty cool - real sarcastic and talkative, but a decent carhop from what I've seen. She was a bartender back in Houston, but isn't one here because she's, "Not a size 2 like all the ones around here are" (her words). She's 20, so not too young or anything. We'll see how that goes. Laurie acts, talks, and just basically reminds everyone of Leah, which isn't a good thing. Kristen is a great carhop and knows how to fountain already, but is still kind of shy, except around the Sayes. I haven't met Ashley or Elizabeth yet, so I can't say anything about them. It was weird - I fountained with Sunny Sunday, and I really, really noticed her breasts for the first time, despite how Freddie's always been very pro-them.

I'm running a game tonight, in about ten minutes. Dragon's Lair opened a branch in town, in the butterfly shopping center. We'll see how they do.
