Eighty-six years is a long time


The Red Sox have won the World Series. I had faith in 'em.




It's been 86 years since their last one; prior to that they had won 5. They've appeared 4 other times, and lost in Game 7 every time. Swept the series against the Cardinals in 2004, though. Will they do it again? Can they do it again? Doesn't matter, not in Boston right now.




The best part, though, is that they will receive their rings in the first game they play next season, in Fenway Park - against the Yankees.

Is it done yet?


Website update again.




Fixed some display bugs and added all three stylesheets, and a javascript to support alternate stylesheets for IE. Play around, let me know what you think.

Ever just want to SMACK somebody?


I was woken up at 8 this morning by William calling to ask if I could come in to work for him. I was groggy, but conscious enough to realize that William still being at work meant that Brandi had not shown up - again.




It seems to be this bad habit among the girls lately to show up late - like 30 minutes or longer late. I had to come in for William one day at 9:30am so he could go got class. Brandi showed up at 10 that day; she came in at 9:45 today. She, and a couple of the other girls, are sorority chicks, thus, have this great social life, apparently. Brandi said she had "gone into hibernation mode." I called her house several times, letting the phone ring repeatedly. I finally got an answer at 9am, and her roommate, who herself I must have woken up, had no idea where she was.




But why do i complain? It will do no good.

Return of the... Sox?


The Evil Empire has fallen.




The Red Sox have won the American League Championship Series, putting them in their first World Series since 1986. Not only that, they beat the Yankees. The New York YANKEES. At Yankee Stadium. Is it possible that the Curse of the Bambino is finally over?



Impossible mission completed

What in the...?


Ever since coming back from the wedding, I've had this on-again off-again pain near my right kidney. It doesn't seem to be a muscular pain, as far as I can tell. There's no knot, or tension there. It flares up when I laugh, or talk too loudly; class Tuesday was fun, let me tell you. Thankfully I had Drew to help me out. So I called my mom, a renal nurse, and she gave me some suggestions.




Bridget's loan has been approved, and we'll have it in a few weeks. Definitely help a whole lot, with the bills, moving the school, and tuition, of course.

Mmmm... CSS...


New update on the school website.



Very different color scheme. Added about 4 lines of HTML, and struggled with smacking the CSS around for a little while. I like it. I'll probably set this one up as the primary stylesheet, with the other as an alternate.

Operation:Matrimony 4


The wedding this past weekend went pretty well. Of course, the bride's family is kind of crazy. All of them seemed to have a different idea of how they wanted the wedding to run, it seemed. In the end, though, everything went fine. They got hitched, there were no major mistakes that were unfixable, and we even had a laugh-out-loud moment when I (as best man and one of the witnesses) had to ask aloud for a pen to sign the license with.




The groomsmen's presents were GREAT. He got us all, and himself and the usher, bokken, wooden practice swords, with our initials hand-burned (by him) in the handle. Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. I'll try and get some pictures up.
