chestnutcurlsI am alarmed by the number of people who answered "Huh?" to my Homestar Runner poll question. Please do yourself a favor and go here. Go watch the best Strong Bad e-mail ever. Be prepared to laugh a lot. You'll thank me later.
Today is a good day. Evan called this morning to tell me that, due to technical difficulties, he's not going off-roading this weekend. Which means that he can go to the football game and the symphony with me. Yay! This is how great he is: he drove all the way to my work area (a 40-minute drive) to get a check from me for all of our symphony tickets, then drove back to our church (near his house) to get the tickets for me, and then drove back out to this area to go to work. All so I wouldn't have to worry about picking them up myself. Isn't that nice? It's the Kiev Symphony, which comes to our church once every few years and is said to be phenomenal. This will be the first time I've gotten to go. My family is going with us, so it'll be a nice time. Evan is excited about going, too. Despite his tough truckish exterior, he's very cultured and enjoys artsy things. He's so well-rounded. :)
I had a long-awaited lunch with Casey today, most of which was spent squealing over the new developments in my life. Casey has been a friend and advisor to me for three years and has helped me through so many things. It meant a lot to me to be able to rejoice with her. :) She told me how excited the old-school RUF crowd is about me and Evan being together; predictably, everyone she's told has said "It's about time!" The happiest news she gave me was that Ryan is apparently very pleased about it. I was worried that maybe he disapproved or felt weird. I'm so glad he's glad. I wanted his blessing.
Bible study last night was great. Jean is teaching on Job this time around, and last night's message was about preparing for the storms of life while the skies are still clear. He used tons of hurricane references, which sent me deep into Weather Nerd Mode. After the study, Evan and I went to Perkins for pie, and I spent much too long telling him about Hurricane Camille and the Galveston hurricane of 1900 and the Fujita scale. He doesn't share my enthusiasm, but at least he thinks it's cute.
West Wing was incredible last night. I was expecting the quality of the show to drop now that Aaron Sorkin's gone, but maybe the new writers will come through after all. We'll see. I'm so, so excited about Friends tonight! Last first episode. Waaah!
I miss the cat today. Isn't that weird? Sometimes I miss him while I'm at work. I used to feel that way about the bunny (and sometimes I still have attacks of missing him and have to go visit with him), but I never thought that was weird. But missing a cat might be slightly less nuts than missing a bunny. Anyway, I can spend plenty of time with him tonight while I watch my shows. I'm glad.
