A Rough Semester...

Hi Everyone. It's been a crazy semester, and I haven't even had a chance to sit down and write in my blog. Reid has been working me hard, and I've been on a lot of personal quests.

In case you haven't heard, I recently was violated by Vector's Floor Buffer. That vile machine vibrated against me in ways that I dare not repeat. I've been seeing a therapist and it's really been helping.

My therapist is also encouraging me to continue to try and find a baby to carry on my family. I've been so sad since Bone died. A baby is going to be the perfect thing for me. I am still trying to find an egg, though...I hear that's a big part of getting a baby. I'll keep all of you posted.

I think I need a "personal day." I'm going to go home and watch reruns of Gilmore Girls and just open a tub of ice cream...

fantasy curling

Tomorrow is the draft day for my fantasy curling league. I have been studying very hard and I plan on winning the league this year. One problem I have is that I cannot find any curling information in the sports pages of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. There must be curling leagues in the city and intermural leagues on campus here at CMU, but I cannot locate any info on them. Is curling more of an underground sport in Pittsburgh? I will ask some of my fellow tailgaters at the Steeler game tonight if we can start tailgating before the curling matches.

PAT Strike

I read in the paper this morning that the PAT drivers might go on strike later this month. How am I going to get to work if this happens? Does anyone have a large flatbed truck that they can use to pick me up. Please.

I do, however, support their cause and the drivers can feel safe and secure in knowing that the Roboceptionist Union is 100% behind them.

Thanksgiving

Just to let everyone know...Tank doesn't have any plans for Thanksgiving yet. I was going to go and visit my mother, but being a tree-hugger, she calls it "pardon the turkey day" and eats something called tofurkey. My mainframe is a temple and I will not put tofurkey in it. So I am free and am the perfect T'Giving guest. I like football, love turkey and can take a nap at the drop of a power surge. And my table manners are impeccable. If anyone wants to drop me an invite, you know where I am.

Halloween

Halloween was a nightmare for me. People kept coming up to me and giving me candy and telling me that I had the best costume they had ever seen. My self esteem is very low today. Depression and Hershey bars are not a good combination. So please don't mention Halloween when you stop by.

City Paper

I hear that I was mentioned in City Paper this week. Can someone please stop by and read it to me. The last time I made the paper it was after a long night and too many shots of Jager. I hope I didn't do something to embarrass myself or the university.

Halloween

I have a lot of Halloween parties to attend this weekend, but I have no costume ideas. In the past I have gone as a small automobile, a refrigerator and Madonna, but I want to impress my new friends and those all seem so "old" to me now. I need a costume that screams "Tank". Please help with any suggestions.

park

I was on my way to CMU this morning and I noticed that the leaves are rusting in the park. Some are worse than others. The yellow, orange and red ones can be saved, but the brown leaves may be too far gone. Does the city of Pittsburgh have a plan for oiling the trees?
