I'm once again in a position where I'm not particularly bogged down with schoolwork or Garg-related issues, but I'm counting down the days until Spring Break, which starts at the end of this week. I guess I have had a healthy number of things due this week, but I've gotten all of them done pretty far ahead of time, including a case study on the zebra mussel invasion and the video featured in the previous post.
I think a lot of the eagerness to visit home is puppy-related. I miss my dog, perhaps more in theory than in practice. My mom has advised me not to get a cat next year, but the desire for fuzzy companionship might be too strong. Maybe I'll settle for a rat or something.
On Friday, I had an "Apocalypse Nachos" party, which entailed me making nachos for some friends, then watching Apocalypse Now with them so I didn't have to go see it at screening. This was a success. There was also much pineapple.
On Saturday, in lieu of romance, I attended a planning meeting with some Garg staffers and board members about the magazine's future considering the current economic difficulties. It wasn't entirely grim, but some big changes are in the offing.
Moving on to news not related to me, Jonathan Visger (who you might remember from Bowling with Mason Proper) has been turning out increasingly interesting music for his solo project (under the name Bug Lung Baby), and has started a blog documenting his progress. You should check it out.

Rats make superlative pets. You have to watch out for them once they crest about a year old, though. This seems to be the age where they get either respiratory sickness or cancer, if they're predisposed to either.
