Just got off the phone with Mom and Dad. I'd called them to let them know that my Maya package arrived today and is up and running perfectly on the XPS.
("Mayalujah" = "Hallelujah, I've got Maya!")
(Oh.... And the delivery guy, this one from UPS, left the box hanging on the gate. GOOD GOD, you morons! Take my shit all the way to the house! The wireless card had arrived via DHL.)
They let me know that Grandma Jo may possibly have liver cancer; they'll know later tonight or tomorrow. Her cancer count is very high. It's unfair, to say the least. Grandma Jo needs a hip replacement, and she already survived colon cancer.... But Dad told me that, like Grandma Ruthie had been before she passed away, Grandma Jo is very at peace: if it's her time to go, or will soon be her time, it's her time. That's how she's looking at it.
It was really painful seeing Grandma Jo limping like she was, when she and Grandpa came up for Jessi and Mitch's wedding. I pray she's not in pain right now.
Today was pretty nice. I finished my Creative Writing assignment in the two and a half hours I had before I needed to get to class, sitting at a table in Powell's. I got up at 8:00 this morning, which is SO MUCH BETTER than waking up at 6:00. I heard my watch alarm go off at 7:00, dozed off, checked my clock at 7:35, and dozed off again. I began dreaming about various oddness and near the end of the dream, a fire alarm began going off. After the alarm had rung about three times - my clock alarm went off. Ha!
I typed up the rest of my assignment into my flash drive copy, printed six copies, and got them into Julia's box outside 212.
Hung out briefly with Melissa, Laryssa, and Ben before heading to class. Grace is in my Anatomy & Movement class, hurray! Aurora in Creative Writing, Grace in Anatomy & Movement, and - if I'm not mistaken - Aurora, Grace, Laryssa, Jacob, and Nick are all in Character & Object Design with Za tomorrow. That is going to be a FUN class.
Amy Zollinger, my A&M teacher (she was also my Drawing teacher summer 2007), had us share our pet peeves and a favorite quote as an ice breaker today in class. ...I shared Rorschach's lovely first page, third panel quote from Watchmen (some of you will know it well):
Eh heh heh, I'm an odd one. <3 I did get some approving nods from across the room, though.
OH, OH, and who doesn't love THIS one?
BEST DAMN DRY HUMOR IN THE HISTORY OF EVER.
...Okay, so, I was reading the forums at watchmencomicmovie.com, and there was a discussion of what might have happened had ( [ MILD SPOILER ] )
I've got my Maya file of Hades Laboratories up on the XPS. I've said it before, I say it again: working on this assignment from home is going to be so much less of a hassle than driving to AIPD to work on it.
Grandma Jo will be in my prayers.

The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their wastes and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"...
...And I'll look down, and whisper "No."
Eh heh heh, I'm an odd one. <3 I did get some approving nods from across the room, though.

Hurm, never disposed of sewage with toilet before. Obvious, really.
Two-nothing. Your move.
