Hopefully Calima is still guarding OC3. I think I left enough food for her. . . oh well. Life goes on.

One note about the Spymaster, she was recently renamed "The Cheat". This will better serve the purpose of disciplining the misbehaving ball of fur, by the stern phrase "The Cheat is GROUNDED!!!". (Those of you who visit Homestar Runner should appreciate the humor).

Oh, and the hillside fortress with 3 decks got upgraded from a Maybe to a Definite Plus. Now we (Evil Twin and I) just have to secure income to pay for the premises. :P

Also got the Extended Special Edition of Fellowship of the Ring. Was nice watching it with all the cutscenes included in the movie, instead of having to browse the "special features" separately. The cutscenes did a lot better job of explaining the whole movie, and even though it increased the showtime by another hour, I say it was worth it.

Time for sleep. . . get to meet the realtor in the morning and talk amongst ourselves.

After dinner we decided on a whim to go out and try and catch the meteor storm last night. So we stayed up until 4AM to go and find a place out in the boondocks to watch the skies. All this was done in good humor, until we were jipped and saw all of 10 meteors between the 5 of us. It was quite disappointing. . . but it did not diminish the great time we had at dinner.

In the next couple of days I will be restarting the study process for the Linux exams in an attempt to redeem myself. Let's see where this will take us. . .

So. . . the current plan is to take a step back from this, clear my head, and pursue this again in one week. I'm still pursuing the course to argue some of the questions/answers from yesterday's exam, so hopefully I will only have to retake these last two. *sigh*. . . Can I have just one thing going right for me from straight to finish. . . ?

And once again, Quincy VII is being lobotomized. . . it is not performing as well as it used to ever since July. . . very frustrating. . .

However, upon my return to OC3, I found a Intent to Evict notice posted on my door, with a 48 hour time limit, dated Friday. It has become obvious to me now that the sooner I move away from here, the better off I will be. A short visit to their management office resolved some of the issues, and I noticed that on my way out, a Travis County sheriff was on his way in to deliver what appears to be a notice of lawsuit. If this is true, then I am not the only person who found this complex lacking in the customer service department. The search continues for a civil lawyer who is willing to take a look at my case.

On another note, despite an earlier agreement (back when I renewed my apartment contract in January) stating that for renewing my contract I get to take $100 off of my rent, I found a note stuck to my door this evening when I returned home stating that I owed the complex $100, plus $70 late fees. Let it be known now that University Heights is now on my blacklist. There is only so much I can take before I retaliate.

How many days is it again until I move out of this craphole?

At first I thought I might have been hasty in wanting to move out of this place. . . this just simply reaffirmed my decision. Had this been a first leak, I would've let it slide. But that spot in the ceiling has leaked twice before, and they've done nothing. Things as they are, I'm starting a countdown to the day I move out of this place.

Current projections have OC4 being brought online by mid-December, and the new battleship being transferred here shortly thereafter. Until that time, I am retaining command of the Agamemnon. I did, for a few brief moments, had trouble saying goodbye to the Bannockburn. She was a good ship, a good lass. I will miss her, but I know she well be left in good hands.
