PICS
Hello again friends! Sorry it's been so long since my last update. Our internet has been down for awhile and just got fixed today. I gotta say, as much as I missed checking SG and reading all my favorite blogs, I got a TON of reading done, which was nice. Not much has been up otherwise.
Work is good, and I'm liking the job so far. My co-workers are nice, the job is just busy enough to prevent me from getting bored very often but usually not so busy that I feel super-stressed. I've been told I'm doing well and that I've been a quick learner, which feels nice, and next week I might end up taking on a pretty solid amount of responsibility, which makes me feel like they already trust me as a hard worker. As much as I feel like complaining in the morning about getting up early, it feels good to be working again.
I finished the new Terry Pratchett and loved it, of course. The other night I said that every Terry Pratchett novel is my favorite after I read it, and then the next one I read becomes my new favorite (with one exception, because almost every Pratchett fan I know has at least one book that they aren't a big fan of). However my favorite storylines are Vimes stories, followed closely by Tiffany Aching, so of course a new Vimes-centered book made me extra happy.
Danny and I had been watching (re-watching for him) The Wire and finished season 4 just before our connection stopped working. Because it's such an intense show we would watch a couple episodes and then watch an episode of Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. A strange but good combination.
And that's really about it. Hope things are going well for all of y'all.

Glad to hear that the job is going well. 
Yeah, The Wire is definitely one of the best TV series ever, for a lot of reasons. It's pretty harsh though. I could see watching something like FHFIF to chill out between episodes.
I'm in the middle of watching season one of Treme, the latest David Simon project (and which also has Wendell Pierce and Clarke Peters in it). I'm about halfway through, and so far it's excellent.

You don't happen to remember where you got this top, do you?
Or, if you've got it laying around and want to part with it....
