The upside of the starter being dead is that I didn't have to take dad to the doctor this morning (he rescheduled for April anyway, for the eye embolism thingy) so I've been all over BSG all day long. The marathon goes straight through to the series finale tonight, so that's just about 12 hours straight! It's been fun because I have a few other friends doing the same thing so we've been talking all day and laughing at some of the funny little things they do.
Where my wisdom teeth were is hurting really badly, like it did before I had them all taken out, which was supposed to fix them. The oral surgeon was convinced it was my molars (all four of my back molars need to be crowned thanks to that horrible horrible dentist from back in the day) that were causing the pain, but it's more of an ache. It throbs and stays with me, I really dislike it. From what I hear, if it were something to do with the roots or nerves, it would hurt a lot worse than this, it would require major painkillers. This feels better when I chew gum or something, kind of like when you have an itch that feels better when you scratch it.
Also, there is a preview for Fast and the Furious (4) which will come out next month... I'm thinking Jeremy and I might have to break our no movies rule and go see it when I go down to see him at the beginning of the month! I did get my tax return today, so I'm going to let it sit and earn interest for a short while, then leave some there, pay off completely one of my credit cards, and buy my ticket to Austin to see Dill this summer!! Whatever's left will go back to savings to sit there for the wedding and moving.
Congrats for making it this far, I know my tooth pain and penchant for cheesy movies is totally what everyone wants to hear about. I have been considering going to grad school if we end up in Memphis next year. I don't know much about U of M's graduate programs, but if we're in Memphis it's because I couldn't find a job, so going to grad school would be something to do and it would help defer my loans further so we could pay down Jeremy's (which has the higher interest rate). I've been considering a lot of different graduate programs, but I think I'd really like to study linguistics. It's a subject that's always really grabbed my attention, something that I think is at the root of everything we analyze and are confused about in the world. I'm sure there are other things that would be fun, journalism say, but I think linguistics would really challenge my brain and I would really enjoy it.
Oh, well, off to make dinner. Ciao for now!

I should know by now...
To not plan things when I'm tired! Turns out that BSG marathon I was so excited about is actually NEXT Friday! I'll have to wait even longer to find out the final Cylon!
Stayed up way too late last night, I'm going to have to try to find someone on Skype today so that I can see if my webcam works well enough to recommend it to Jeremy. I'm also not really thrilled with the new SunTrust Online Banking setup; my debits are 12 hours overdue to post but it looks like they were already taken out of my balance...
Since I won't be BSG'in it today, I'm going to go to the PO to ship Ana's clothes (Cy's will go next week-- I put up pictures of everything on Facebook), the pharmacy to get my Rx (still hate shopping with no insurance...), and will get back to cleaning my room and doing laundry-- everything kinda turned in to a mess while Jeremy was here since we didn't have any room (as the mattress was on the floor) to put anything in its "proper" place. You know, 'cause I have a lot of those... I also need to find the drill so I can finally hang up my purse hooks and the shelves in the closet for my shoes (I know, it sounds silly, but it's the only place I can put them!) so that I can clean some of that up off the floor. I'm also still trying to wrangle the layout for the save-the-dates, I don't have Microsoft Word, but I have OpenOffice which is supposed to be able to work like MW, but that's not working out too well so far... as soon as I figure it out, I'll be able to just plug in the printer and go with them which would be nice-- they were supposed to go out two or three weeks ago!
Oh, and Meg and Michael finally closed in on a name: Violet Genevieve Kavanaugh. I still love Vera, but Vi's pretty cute so it still works! They stopped by work the other day to see me, so I got to see the baby which made me very happy. We've had a lot of little people in this week, and they're all just so sweet-- hopefully this bratty baby trend is going by the wayside!

I continue to mildly dislike Laura Roslin
Roslin being the President of the Colonies. I am, however, quite amused by Baltar trying to explain religion to a centurion (basically pure machine) in an effort to try and get past him.
That's all the BSG I'll torture you with today!
Work was pretty decent tonight; Emily came to see me, which was nice. I wasn't in a very sociable mood, which I'm sure was evident, but for some reason I was totally exhausted. It really was nice to see her, though, and to have a friendly face. I'm excited because Melanie's back in town, so Sunday we're going to go get my nose pierced (which was my birthday present back in the day lol) and I'm so stoked! I also finally got a chance to get Bones back to her! They'd been sitting, lonely, in a Target bag on my door. I had re-watched them a couple times, my favorite episodes, but then I got BSG'd and we all know the end of that story!
Tomorrow, I'm going to do what I'm going to call my Thursday errands from now on because I'm realizing that I'm totally not going to do a darn thing on the days I work. Bank, Target, maybe the grocery store for something to drink, and swing by Palate to pick up the change I left (yes, literally change, but I think it's a couple bucks worth so why not?). And then come home and BSG myself out on SciFi.
I really miss Jeremy these days-- spring and summer is kind of our time, when we'd go for rides and be outside. Jeremy, of course, goes outside most any time of year because he's kinda crazy like that, but I hadn't thought about the fact that there aren't going to be any late night rides through backroads anymore. He sent me a text message tonight, from Ft. Matanzas watching the sunset, a wish you were here sort of thing-- it totally made my day, but made me sad because I won't see him for another month. Another one of those things where I tell myself that we'll have the rest of our lives, but it'd be nice if that could start right now! (Queue the Beach Boys!)
Alright, I'm gonna stop cheesin' you guys out and lock down ON THE FINAL CYLON!! Promise I'll post pictures when I get the nose done this weekend!

Final Cylon!
I'm starting the first half of season 4 today, so I'm generally on schedule to get all caught up by tomorrow night and then by Friday night! For those of you just joining the geek party, this would be Battlestar Galactica.
Finally slept well last night, it always takes me a couple days to adjust after Jeremy leaves. I'm glad I thought to move the mattress on to the floor this time, it was way more comfortable than my pilates mat-- though I'm not sure how Jeremy could stand to sleep on the futon mattress, it was super hard! Anyway, got up about 10 and have had a pretty decent morning-- talked to Jeremy, got out the strawberries, waited for the mail to come, and now I'm watching some BSG! I think once I see who the final Cylon is, I'll get some cream and sugar and do berries and cream.
Work the last couple night's been alright, no six dollar nights but no really amazing nights, either. Enough to squeeze by, I suppose. I find it really hard to go to work these days, I'm just really tired of being a waitress I guess. At least at the airline, when I was at the counter or the gate there was a solid routine and I felt like I was getting something done-- waiting on tables, I just bring food out, take empty plates away, open the patio, lock up the patio. A little pointless; I'm not really doing anything or making a difference or using anything I've learned in any real way.
But I'll stop moping; I'm trying to tell myself it'll only be for a few more months, or that maybe I'll land a better job, just to stick it out. Hopefully Jeremy will get an idea of where he'll be and I can start trying to find a job-- though it is a little hard doing it six months out... gotta start somewhere, right?
OK, I'm gonna go ahead and get the cream and sugar since I've almost eaten all of my strawberries! That would be almost two pounds, for the record.
