So, seven days after the phone call, it only goes to show that the girl's coming after you.  However, it would be difficult to attack a guy who doesn't watch TV very often (doesn't even have a cable connection hooked up, because the TV is only used to play video games or DVDs).  Therefore, I could go for a good long while with the TV facing the wall...thus giving her no entry into my apartment to - you know - kill me. 

Some comments have been made about the level of dust coming off my hands.  I was upgrading the ol' cables the other day (doing some wire-management all the while), and had to move a lot of stuff around.  I found that there was a healthy amount of dust UNDER my TV.  I cleaned it out as best I could, but it befuddles the mind a bit about how that much dust could've gotten under something that weighs 1/4 of me, and doesn't ever move.  I understand dust being on top of it, around it, even attracted to it (because static also attracts dust)...but under it? 

In any case, round 1 goes to me in the battle for my life against the girl from The Ring.  I'm going to be spending the weekend getting some more pages done, as I'm going on vacation for the next few weekends (and Saturday is when all of these pages get worked on). 

May 10-13 I'll be at ACEN in Chicago, playing around with the anime girls and trying not to get into any trouble with anyone dressed in a Rei cosplay outfit...because that seems to happen whenever I go to these things.  This is assuming, of course, that they can make good on their end of the deal and mail my badge to me on time (before I leave for Chicago on Thursday morning).  Apparently, they're having some problems with pre-registered people and getting their badges to them on time.  Then they had to post a rather illegal option on their main page, which is (correct if I'm wrong here, tort law people) in violation of the  contract from the original application.  Adding insult to injury, they're making us stand in a line that we were trying to avoid in the first place AND charging us an additional $5 to pick up something that they were unable to get to us on time.  Sounds like a federal class-action lawsuit waiting to happen to me. 

May 18-20, Laura and I will be on vacation with her family at a place called Put-in-Bay.  I've never been before, but they apparently do this every year, so I'm sure it's going to be fun and exciting. 

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures, and post them on my MySpace blog.
