I found the green book, but I don't know where the black book is. That's a shame because it may have been the better of the two.

[if you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry. Your mother doesn't know either. Neither would mine for that matter.]

I think I lost my wool jacket yesterday. Either that or it was stolen. It's probably around here somewhere but I can't find it.

That stinks. I liked that jacket. It was warm and mildly stylish in an Old Navy kind of way. It also carried the new gloves and hat I recently bought as well as an etch-a-sketch pen. The biggest issue was the fact that it had my check book in it so I had to replace that checking account this morning. Bummer.

The game and the travel went well. I miscalculated the mileage compensation I'll be getting in the blog though. It'll about $190 instead of $277. I still don't know what the pay is. I'll have to ask the crewer on monday or get her email address and send the info that way. :)

I'd expect ESPN to pay better than JP Sports for the same position, but it is a bit different. At any rate, mileage and per diem are higher. I hope we get paid for the travel day. (1/2 day rate). If that were the case and the position gets paid the same as JP Sports I'll have made more $$ in two days than I gross at LU for a whole week. Of course, LU doesn't exactly pay industry wages. :)

Yeah, that about sums it up. :)
"On the occasion...
...of the monthiversary of the beginning of the us talking in an attempt to get to know one another in a sensible, not romantically committed, but intellectually intrigued and generally interested way! (Not that we should make too much out of the date or anything).

Happy 5th of March to you! Hee hee.

I really should start going to sleep before 2am.

I'd rather be flown down to Rock Hill, SC for the game than drive down the night before. Although, if I drive I'll be compensated for the mileage and that'd add up to quite a bit of extra cash. I doubt I'll be driving though. Maybe the other guys going won't want to drive and won't care about the extra money (about $277). That'd be nice. We may have to take two cars anyway. [edit] I volunteered to drive and they agreed so yay for extra cash.

Okay, I'm not dreading this so much now (not that dread is the right word).

Yesterday was Tim's birthday. After work we went and ate out at BULLs (a tex-mex/steak house) . After that I went to house church and hung out there for a while afterwards. Then I went home and found the rest of the gang watching a poorly done movie. I think it was EYE SEE YOU. It had some rather prominent stars in it but just didn't turn out well. I didn't really watch it. I decided to play a knockoff of an old video game online. After that Darryl, Tim and I watched the first DVD of Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040. Ena started watching it with us but left during the second of four episodes. It's an Anime TV show about these vigilantes who destroy rogue robots that malfunctioned. The company that makes them controls all the media and don't let anyone know what's really going on. The animation is well done and the characters seem to have depth so overall I'm pleased with the series so far. I have to wait for the next set of DVDs to come in from Netflix.

My boss isn't going to be in today.

It isn't a feeling of dread that I feel, neither is it joyful anticipation. Apprehension or light loathing (if you can modify a word like that) may be better terms to describe the upcoming game. It isn't so much nervousness about being asked to do more than I'm capable of, though that does play into it. I'm not really happy about having to go down Friday night for a Saturday game. I think I will get travel pay which is 1/2 my day rate so that's adequate compensation. Hopefully, I'll find out tomorrow what the actual plans for the weekend are including hotel rooms etc.

Blue sky. Cold wind. Patches of snow on wet ground.

The word of the day is "synaesthesia"

Here is an interesting news story about a woman who tastes sound.

The story is titled: "Music Has a Flavor to Woman Who 'Tastes' Sounds" and was reported by Reuters on March 2, 2005.

We just finished watching Shaolin Soccer. It was silly and oh so much fun. Very entertaining.

I just ordered a 12-inch iBook.
Yay. I probably should've waited a few months until the new OS is released. Oh well, I guess I'll have to pay for it then.
