The Winter of My Discontent

Total number of times people have assumed I'm gay since starting to write here: 8 and counting...

Name:
Location: Everett, Washington, United States

I am a dedicated futurist and a strong supporter of the transhumanist movement. For those who know what it means, I am usually described as a "Lawful Evil" with strong tendencies toward "Lawful Neutral." Any apparent tendencies toward the 'good' side of the spectrum can be explained by the phrase: "A rising tide lifts all boats."

Brand New Day

Do you ever have one of those days where everything seems to be going well? Despite waking up sleepy this morning (blasted DST), everything today seems to be falling into place.

I got a phone call from my brother.
I was able to (sort of) save my friends in Evidence class.
I was able to answer Jimmy C.'s questions in a manner which suggested that I understood what I was saying.
I bought 13 books from the Law Library's book sale (11 hardbound law textbooks and 2 soft-cover textbooks) on a wide range of topics.
I bought all the textbooks (with a retail value online - I've checked - of almost 1,000 dollars) for just under US $50.
The aforementioned books look really nice on my bookshelves.
I'm on top of my singing voice today.
I deposited a check to my savings account and discovered that I have 300 dollars more than I thought I did in there (due to an addition error in my checkbook).
I got a job.
And some really great music is playing right now on my custom radio station through Pandora (Pandora.com)

Fantastic! Can today get better?

Today could get better! I went out for a walk and the weather was gorgeous. And the best part was that while I was out walking, I saw a woman walking an insanely cute little pug on the other side of the street. As pug dogs are wont to do, he had a most contented expression on his face, and it was obvious what had put it there. He was carrying, or dragging, really, a stick that was about twice as long as he was.

The job is really a continuation of the one I had this past summer and into Fall. I'm a returning Research Assistant for Dr. M. What it means is that I once again have a stream of income.
