I just finished watching Revolution OS with Jess and I’m now fiddling online while Todd behind me watches Steve play some zombie game. Todd thinks we should get ol’ Ashlee to play the game, and this is because he is a cruel man who also happens to understand comedy. You see, Ashlee is butt-scared of zombies. I can slouch, walk all stiff-legged from the hips, and make a moany sound while going toward her and she’ll commence to screaming and telling me to stop. This is probably cruel and unusual punishment, but damnit, it’s funny.

Plans, plans… I don’t really have many except for work and hanging out after work. Well, now that school’s over, I can at least make plans to do things socially. Wow, I don’t have to come home, kiss Todd, and then immediately start on physics or my next speech. Kind of liberating. Here’s what’s coming up for me:

• Walking Bear, Greg and Hannah’s dog, who you know is a chow from the name. It’s like some kind of unwritten law that chows have to be named Bear and, at least here in the south, ‘bear’ is pronounced ‘bar’. Todd’s supposed to be walking her while they’re out of town but he’ll be out of town himself Saturday.
• A trip to an aquarium with Todd because we both like sea life.
• Dinner at my cousins’ house.
• Shopping trip with the girls for back-to-school clothes (those poor gals!).
• Swimming trip with the girls, because I need to work on my lobster look.
