I'm chillin' watching Olympic gymnastics. The American women are not doing all that well. I just want to say, if I've never said it here before, I love Bob Costas. I have to say, I think that balance beam may be my favorite womens gymnastic event. I'm not so sure I enjoy the new scoring.

I'm at the apartment all alone, and Liz left for Virginia today. She'll be gone for a month. I don't know how long I'll be here, but it's slightly awkward hangin' out with just Ian, Liz's boyfriend, and Sage, their two year old daughter. I miss Jordan, and I am very tempted to go home, but this is my power play, and I can't ruin it for myself. I did go home for a bit both yesterday and today. I stayed about an hour or two both days. It's nice to see him, and they were pleasant visits. He asked if being away is helping me at all and I don't really know. I just wonder if he's missing me at all, but it would be both needy and stupid to ask. It's a good sign that he asked me, at least I'm taking it as one.

Schultzie and RED, congrats on being promoted to LEGEND. That's great. I'm going to spend my life as an otakuite.

my nephews start school tomorrow, and my sister is so excited. Of course, their starting school means that her part time job at school is going to start again too. She's kind of less excited about that. It was super awesome to hang with her and her family yesterday, but I pulled a muscle in my calf. BOO!

Back to work tomorrow. It's going to be a little weird. A guy I'm aquainted with at work passed away this weekend. None of you will ever know him, but I hope you believe me when I tell you, the world is a less friendly place without him.
