Heh.

This should cheer you up for sure/See, I’ve got your old ID/And you’re all dressed up like The Cure

So anyway…

Life is good. We finally solved the roadblock on the project at work that’s been annoying me. This will allow the project to proceed apace and will keep people from other departments from sending me nasty e-mails and such. This always makes me happy 🙂 This also means that I’ll probably be up in the Erie, PA vicinity in the first or second week of June. It’s Erie-sistable! Ah well, summer in Erie is actually quite nice – The Peninsula (aka Presque Isle State Park) is lovely, and now that I know some nice bookstores and coffeehouses up there, I’ll be set. I’ll still commute the 25-or-so miles to Saegertown from Erie, though. After all, if I’m going to stay up there, I prefer to stay near civilization.

Had some fun storms come through last night – no real damage, though the power flickered a bit. We got about an inch of rain in about 45 minutes, then it just stopped. That sucks, because right now we’re pretty much in drought conditions (unlike you lucky[?] folks in the Midwest). Our lawn is looking a wee bit brown, but on the bright side I don’t have to mow it as often. I suppose I should think about watering it, but that’s tedious, plus it gets expensive. If we go much longer without rain, though, I won’t have much choice.

Takaza and I are kicking back and forth a list of stuff we need to do in the next eight days. No problem, as long as we don’t actually sleep or anything silly like that. I know none of our guests will mind much, but it matters to me that the house is nice and clean.
