I’ve read the Inferno probably 6 times, but always get tired of reading poetry prior to Purgatory.

I’ve got some canvas bags that my wife and I use when we grocery shop. Virtually everywhere else we just ask for no bags when we buy anything. I figure if I can get it to the counter without a bag, I can get home without one.

It’s pretty satisfying eating food from your own garden. I’ve got a pumpkin vine, too, but I doubt I’ll be eating from that, I just hope I can carve my own pumpkin this October.

Slaughterhouse 5
Cat’s Cradle
God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater
Breakfast of Champions
Bagombo Snuff Pipe
Bluebeard
Timequake

It was crowded, but still christmasy and fun. Highly recommended.

1) Lamb by Christopher Moore
2) Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut
3) My Haunted House by Angie Sage
4) Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut
5) The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore
6) The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett
7) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling
8) Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
9) Witch’s Business by Diana Wynne Jones
10) Heroes Reborn: Captain America by Rob Liefeld

I actually read more than this, but I didn’t want to count the stuff that was really short or seemed too easy. The Captain America maybe shouldn’t count, but it well over 300 pages and with all the other stuff I read, I figured I basically hit my goal.

One trick for not using plastic bags:

If I can get my items to the counter without a basket, then I can get them home without a bag. That’s my rule of thumb for asking to not have my items sacked.

Honestly, I could just write five or ten pages and have it over and done with. I can sit and edit it all day, but I can’t seem to make myself write the ending. Hopefully, I’ll finish it soon.

I only say not worth doing, because they seem pretty pointless. You’ve got to do them though if you want to keep being a teacher.

I didn’t write a syllabus for the second semester. I guess I was lazy.

92 hours. There was still a lot more I could have done in the game (Omega Weapon, 4 ultimate weapons, fine-tuning armor customization, Blitzball tournaments, etc.) but I’m ready to move on to other games.

One of my students told me he’s put over 250 hours into that game. I can’t do it. I have a hard time making myself do all of the side quests, they’re fun, but usually a lot harder than beating the boss. Anyway, it was worth it.

Marrying my girlfriend? Priceless!

Seriously, the entire ceremony was decided on, planned and arranged in the span of 4 hours, then executed 3 days later.

Marriage License – $50
Officiant’s fee – $50
My wedding band – $69
Her wedding band – $68

Clothes owned previously. Transportation and cake provided by my parents. Chapel was the hobbit’s living room. Reception at my brother’s house, who also provided the champagne and fresh caught fish.
