Emily Olson got married this afternoon. That’s two weddings in as many days. It was a very short (20 minutes) ceremony, and the food at the reception was excellent. All in all it was very nice, though Sam had a rough time of it near the end. Poor guy.

Jeff and Foy showed up late. Apparently John Bessman also got married today as well, and they were at that wedding. Way to go John!.

Actually if I remember correctly they are at the courthouse right now doing whatever it is you do to get hitched in a civil ceremony. I’ve got to run off and get ready for the reception now. Hopefully it won’t be boring, or I’ll have to make excuses and jet out of there.

One more wedding tomorrow, then one day of work, then Colorado.

Because we love what he has to say, we would love a new update from Mr. Ross!

Somehow or another Robert managed to convince me to come with him (and his soon-to-be-wife Elizabeth) to Colorado on a ten-day hiking and climbing and backpacking and camping trip. I don’t know how good and idea this really is, but I just spent $200 on gear. I’ll also have to take almost 2 weeks off of work, which will cost me a lot more money.

I don’t know whether to be excited or pissed off at myself.

I’m recompiling Diesel’s kernel right now. Hopefully that will improve the performance of the machine some. I just found out that DMA wasn’t on. If the new kernel still doesn’t turn DMA on automatically I’ll add the commands to do so to the startup scripts. This might just make Andy happy, and not hate Gentoo so much.

It’s Friday the 13th, but I’m not scared.

Sam and I looked at two bedroom places in Oakwood apartments today. I was quite impressed, and I really can’t think of anything I saw that I didn’t like. The living rooms were large and wide open, the bedrooms were of a decent size, there were decks, kitchens with dishwashers, closets, and other things. I have a feeling that we’re going to take a room in this place, and all that we have to decide is whether to live on the ground level or the second level. I’d like to live on the terrace level because it has huge decks, but no such luck because it’s all full already.

I hope I can afford this, I’ve never had to pay for a place to live and go to school at the same time.

Slowly but surely I’m getting things lined up and worked out for fall. Maybe even by the end of the week I’ll know where I’m going to live and have everything ready for getting into grad school. I sure hope everything works out the way I planned it to.

I haven’t seen Andy Buck in quite a while. I haven’t talked to him or even seen him online in days. Ben said that he was on IRC for a while on Thursday, but I must have missed him. I called him twice on Thursday, but never got a response. I even tried stopping by his place with no luck. So where is he?

He hasn’t updated his main page in a while either, but I noticed that there are some new galleries put up that are dated June 6. I think that means that we can assume that Andy has not died, contrary to popular conjecture. My best guess is that he went off to Iowa City, but didn’t tell anyone about it. He’s probably been in a drunken stupor for the past three days or so. It would be just like him if that was true.

We love you anyway, Andy.
