Fuck that. Remember this? You aren't what you wear, and clothes do not "make the man."

That said, we're really in sweatshirt weather now anyway.
T-Shirts all year round. If you're going to be outside for a long period you can add a jacket, but if you're just going to go from the car in the parking lot to your office (50 feet) then it's unnecessary.

:D Yesterday there was a guy who said, "I'm looking for a PS3 game and I can't remember the name. It played kinda like Star Ocean and that's all I can remember about it."

Well that narrows it down.
Haha well that kind of helps. Maybe it was Resonance of Fate!

Thing that kills me at toys r us is the amount of people who come in the store looking for something very specific but all they know is what color it was and what the box looked like ??? years ago :P.

Oh and all the confusion caused by the Zoomer Dino company releasing specific colors exclusively for specific chains. Had so many people looking for Blue ones the other day and it was only today that I found out they existed but only at Target. Apparently they released different exclusive colors for Kmart, Walmart, Kohls, Toys R Us, and Target nothing like making it confusing :P.

Smile: What a whirlwind of a week. Greenville to Boone, Boone to Charlotte, Charlotte to Raleigh, Raleigh back to Greenville.

Celebrated my wife's birthday three separate times (4th will be tonight), went to see Kiss Me Kate, visited my parents for Thanksgiving, visited my Sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew, saw my Grandparents-in-law. my other brother-in-law, in-laws, and ate like a King the entire time.

I've got to say, Casa san Carlo in Raleigh surprised me. Great wait staff, decent prices, good food. I learned that if you call a day in advance the chef will make Osso Buco. I ended up ordering the Veal alla Carlo, which is thinkly sliced veal with prosciutto, mushrooms, artichokes, and topped with a brandy-red sauce. Also topped with a heaping helping of mozzarella. The pasta sauce left much to be desired, but the dish wasn't drenched in it.

So it's great to be home, but I already miss my parents.

Pops gave me a bottle of Buchanan's, aged 18 years and a handful of cigars (mostly el rey de mundos). Great smokes and scotch.

In short; a great week that went by far too fast.

:) : Dad is feeling much better this morning.

:( : The whole house is contaminated. After feeling better this morning he basically went all over the house, jumped in the hot tub, scavenged through the fridge, and used pretty much every restroom. He is now back to throwing up again. Won't be surprised if we all get the flu now :P.

:D - Leaving on a 4 day trip with my school tomorrow touring college campuses. We're going to be spending all four nights at several Hilton's which is awesome.

:x - Having to deal with idiots who are gonna ask questions like "So, uh, are there like a ton of parties here?". I never understood the point of attending a trip about college when you have little to no intention of going. Just a waste of money.

:evil: I'm fighting an uphill battle to avoid being forced to attend English classes. Assistance is mandatory in the course I'm taking (International Commerce) and there's no way to avoid it, even if you justify that you are the Queen of England and your qualifications prove that you already know what the present perfect is.

So far I've managed to skip classes for a couple months but the teacher may turn that around at any given moment. He's the kind that insists one might "learn something new". I don't know what's up with my English teachers and their inability to accept that someone might already know the language.

I hate this shit. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Well, you might learn we usually put the period within the quotations at the end of a sentence. So you might "learn something new."
