Volunteering for the Co-op gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Yesterday they won the approval for the new student housing plan from city council. Yay! And today I went around and took some photos of their houses for the website, which could use some sprucing-up.

they fight crime!

I just found this link on Ben’s blog and had to share it. They fight crime! Par exemple: He’s a short-sighted overambitious paranormal investigator moving from town to town, helping folk in trouble. She’s a bloodthirsty Bolivian femme fatale with a song in her heart and a spring in her step. They fight crime!

in a house by the tracks

Well, it’s the second day of class. Whoop-ee. Yesterday I was getting ResNet work orders in my e-mail in the middle of the day, and I suddenly remembered that I was working this week. Scrambling around later, everything was arranged around it, many thanks to my Newton for keeping me sane.
