skullguise Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 Congrats, Nate (especially on the night out without kids! But the refi too)
jvlgato Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 Jacob, bummer. Hopefully the rare verbal will more than make up for it, and it'll be good enough to get into your school of choice. I wonder how much they look at overall vs individual sectional scores? Are you pretty much set on U of Cincy? Nate, congrats on the refi! That's definitely cause for celebration!
Voltron Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 Congrat on the refi and night out, Nate! I hope dinner came with some nicely crafted adult beverages.
RudeWolf Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 So after a 3 hour talk with one of the editors of the biggest Baltic news agencies I got his recommendation for a new job I'm looking to get. It may or may not pay as much as the one I'm doing now but it will be immensely more interesting. Market analysis and database administration was a huge leap from manual construction labor, but in the end I realized that ultimately I will never be able to be well motivated at it. If all goes well (and telling others about it won't jinx it) then I might land a press secretary position at the biggest tech university in Latvia. The best thing is that it won't be all press releases but also editorial work for science papers. That may finally give me the chance to really flex my lobes. And get paid for it.
boomana Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 Just catching up with this thread. Justin, all those logos are horrid compared to what you have now. Jacob, congrats getting through the test. I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm just boring lately. Let's see.....got a flu shot....did laundry....ate....slept........gonna ride by bike on a Computrainer this afternoon as it's too windy for real riding. That's as exciting as I get.

MexicanDragon Posted October 27, 2012 Report Posted October 27, 2012 Took everyone to my mom's for Xavier's birthday dinner (spaghetti) and cake (chocolate on chocolate, what else?) and he wound up getting some roller skates. Before dinner I went out and kicked a soccer ball around with Xavier for about 30 minutes. For the 20-30 of you who have seen me in the past year, you know that's a pretty big feat. I've tried to do that before, but after about 4-5 kicks, I'm done. I was actually able to CHASE the ball today a little. On the bad ankle, I typically can run (awkwardly) about 50-60 feet before I'm done. This is the best shape the ankle has been in since the back surgery about 14 months ago. Xavier turned 7, and I got to go out and -- other than riding bikes -- play with him for the first time since the summer of 2011. I'm pretty happy about that! **BRENT** 1
Voltron Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Glad to hear it Brent! Happy birthday Xavier!
CarlSeibert Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Voted. Pretty encouraging first day turnout. We went to ArtServe first. You couldn't get near enough to the place to park. Wilton Manors city hall wasn't happening either. The line of people stretched down the block. Then we went to the African American Research Library and the line there looked like it was two hours long. Bonnie went all Cortez burning his boats on the beach and said we would go no farther. We would vote. So we did, two hours later. Edited October 29, 2012 by CarlSeibert
Aura Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Good things Brent, happy birthday to Xavier! Last night I held my annual Halloween horror movie night. Had four friends show up, which is pretty typical. My friend Wes and myself have now done this five years straight and after having a poor year last year, we got back to our roots and made it through five films (Cronos, The Descent, Cabin in the Woods, Jaws, and Diabolique). Tonight Allison surprised me a month early with my birthday present. The week following Thanksgiving we are going to spend 4 days split between Seattle and Portland! Looks like I'll be the first one to checkout Colin's new digs. Places we plan to visit - Bottleworks, Brouwer's Cafe, Deschutes Brewery, Hair of the Dog Brewery, Cascade Brewery, Upright Brewery, Voodoo Doughnuts, the Space Needle, and a sweet museum/music studio place in Seattle with a cool year-round Horror film exhibition (can't remember the name of the place right now). Oh and then Three Floyds with some of you when we get back. I really don't deserve her. Undoubtedly the best birthday gift I've ever gotten. Edited October 28, 2012 by Aura
shellylh Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Happy birthday Xavier and yay for Allison!
mrarroyo Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Glad you had a great time Brent. Justin, fwiw I prefer your current logo. Last evening went to a friend's 25th wedding anniversary celebration, lot's of fun.
Salt Peanuts Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Cleaned my gutters in the morning. Though not exactly the safest thing to do, employing my leaf blower made a quick work of it.
PFKMan23 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 I test rode a couple bikes yesterday. I kind of want to do more test riding today, but my feet are numb. Luckily or not, must shops around here don't open until noon on Sundays....
morphsci Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Posted October 28, 2012 nice job Allison! ^ this! This again. @Chris - should I call you Tim?
Emooze Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Helped my special forces friend move some furniture. I have never felt so weak and inadequate... 2
