Try using an air purifier.
Maybe have a go with some Lysol too.

Sad News to hear that Heavy D died.

I will when I can afford it. Or find a place to put it.

Really though, I have two windows to the room (and holes in three walls and ceiling) so ventilation shouldn't be an issue. I haven't cleaned it since Spring though, and that's just laziness. (Sorry Hobie, but my room is just filled with piles of papers, comics, newspapers, and old computer equipment; Lysol won't go there. I wound up jettisoning two containers of dust-bunnies and I'm not even halfway done yet. On one hand, I'm thankful I have the time to pull off this 2-day job. On the other hand, I really wish I didn't. Image)

Woah. I suck at the DoA game; I thought he passed away in 2000. I remember first hearing about Heavy D from his KoF cameo.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

Frown: Decided to bite the bullet and buy a new set of tires for my truck.

Smile: I got a bonus I wasn't expecting in my last paycheck that takes care of a big chunk of the damage.

Verdict: Could be worse.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

What you need to do is get pills of the same color, and then line them up on top of them so that you can get a three-in-a-row combination. Once you do, those pesky diseases will pop out of existence, and you'll pick up bonus points.

At least that's what my doctor told me. Anybody else see Dr. Mario?

I've got a telephone job interview in 20 minutes, so I'm a little nervous right now actually, but I'm doing a lot better. Been seeing a counselor, taking my medication, and I just got a girl's phone number, so I'm going to give her a call later today. I'm also starting a part time job Monday in a library, but I've got to turn in some paperwork.

Ticked - Board is DOA
Smiled - The guy I bought it from is going to fix it, I just have to mail it back to him on his dime.

Silly Neogeo, you will work one day

Ticked: Snowing like the Coors Light train just flew through.
More ticked: Helping a friend with his personal problems, which are more fucked up than Adam Dunn's batting average.
Even more ticked: Intro to Software Engineering quiz today, Circuits test tomorrow (which I absolutely NEED to do good on), and a Java test on Friday.

More smile: Halfway through the week (already had a Spanish midterm and a speech in...Speech...) and I'm not dead yet. Hopefully that doesn't change. Life is pretty okay. Better than being dead.
