College Football season

Once again college football season is upon us. So best of luck to all the teams, especially PSU and VT.

But most importantly WEST VIRGINIA!!

And I will leave you with this:

Let's give a rah for West Virginia
And let us pledge to her anew,
Others may be black or crimson,
but for us it's Gold and Blue.
Let all our troubles be forgotten,
Let college spirit rule,
We'll join and give our loyal efforts
For the good of our old school.

It's West Virginia, It's West Virginia
The Pride of every Mountaineer.
Come on you old grads, join with us young lads,
It's West Virginia now we cheer!
Now is the time, boys, to make a big noise
No matter what the people say,
For there is naught to fear; the gang's all here,
So hail to West Virginia, Hail!

Avast, ya salty bale o' hay!

So then, I have been testing this week, so I've been working nights. It has been fun and all, but now I am done for a bit. And so I get to enjoy my 4 day weekend. Hooray for that. Plus next week is a 3 day week to be followed by a 3 day weekend. Its a tough job but someone has to do it.

Plus in a couple of weeks I have to go to the UK, so you can expect some pictures of that. I know that I have not been putting up to many pictures, but there hasn't been a lot that I have been taking pictures of recently.

The animals have begun playing with each other, which is good to see. Hopefully Bernoulli will stop ripping up everything. That would be nice.

As far as houses out here go, most of them aren't that grand. Everything is beat up and worn down. Things that wouldn't be bad to buy as a fixer uper, should you be willing to put the time and effort into repairing them, but just to rent they aren't worth it. So I think that most likely we will end up staying here.

oh, and tomorrow is the beginning of football season, so I must say

LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!

Blarg!

Alright, so I thought that a bit of an update may be in order. So I have returned home and will be here for a while, I leave to go to the UK for a bit in September, but other wise it looks like I will be here a few months. Which will be nice.

I have a bit of a cold. Which is somewhat understandable, I've had an odd schedule and traveling back and forth. So I intend on doing a good share of sleeping this weekend. But there is much to do. It seems that we have a roof stomp tonight, there is a concert tomorrow and some friends are all getting together for an Olympic dinner Sunday night. We will be skipping the concert to stay in, spend some time together and all.

Also tomorrow we are going to look at some houses to rent. We probably won't be moving until October, cause our lease will be up. While this is a nice apartment complex they want to jack up the rent and all. Where as there are some 2-3 bedroom houses that are about $250 less then what we pay here. And yes, we may have to pay a couple extra bills like water, but I think that we would end up paying a bit less, plus have things like a yard for the dog. So we will see how that goes.

I think that I will end this post for now, for it is nearly dinner time. Taco, Taco, Taco...

Yay

So it looks like I will be home for a few months now, well other than my trip to the UK. Yay for being home!

Also, we are looking into renting a house.

Home

I made it home safely, had I been on the next flight out I would still be in Orlando right now.

The pets are doing well.


Stella unpacked all her stuff so there is all sorts of new stuffs all over the apartment. Also today a box arrived so we now have another quilt for to keep us all toasty warm. Thank you mom! and even some thanks to skippy who seemed to help.

Fay

So as of now Fay made landfall down in south Florida on the Gulf coast. They had a reporter on a beach in Brevard talking about the winds and rains there (I happen to be about a block from the beach in Brevard). Out my window it is raining, but doesn't seem too bad. Orlando Airport's website claims that they are still up and functioning normally with no cancellations expected.


So in the words of the Joker..... Here we go!

Rains and Wind

So I have finished up the business of this trip to Florida. Now I can attempt to go home in the morning. Of course there is a small issue that may arise. Tropical Storm Fay. Now I don't really know if it will be a problem or not. For a while they were saying that it would get up here around Sunday, this morning they said it would be over Orlando tomorrow. Now it might not get there till tomorrow evening. If all goes well my plane will get off and I can go home.


Right now the plan calls for me to be home for about 3 weeks, then there will be a mess of traveling. Probably a week down here, few days at home, 2 weeks in the UK, few days at home then I think that I am gonna be back down here for a while.

I have been starting to study Japanese... cause, well, why not?


And I'll close with a happy thought. I should get to fly on a 757 tomorrow, not just DC-9s. Plus there should be a mint involved!

More Updating!

Ok, so it comes to my attention that you all may not have known about my finger. A week or so ago we were all playing football and I went to catch the ball. It hit my fingers and the one got really puffy. It is still a bit puffy and such.

I am still in need of a haircut.

I went to see Tropic Thunder, which all in all was a good movie, it was funny and all. Pretty much a bunch of stars making fun of Hollywood.

It was a cloudy day and all.

There may be a hurricane coming this way, yay!

Avast!

So I've had a couple long days. But I am still out here in Florida, alive and kicking. It would seem that mostly I eat sleep and work out here. Though we have Friday off and I'm considering taking in a movie or two. Also I am in need of a haircut.

And now for some random thoughts


My finger is still swelled up

I have a reservation up at the observatory for right after Christmas

I've been watching Star Trek

MOOOOSE!

Well then, it seems that I have made it back from Florida and have been in New Mexico for over a week now! Its amazing! Any how, Stella's parents have been in town. There is now once again stacks of boxes around the apartment. This time they are not really mine though.

I got to spend the weekend up at an observatory, which was really cool. Yes, there will be pictures up on the photo blog soon. And I do intend to go back.

For now, it is gonna be dinner time I do believe.
