three quarters unpacked

Up and Running

I’m all moved in and half un-packed.

And now that I have the internet back, I suspect I’ll remain half unpacked for a few days as I catch up after 3 weeks mostly offline.

I have found my scanner, now I just need to find the pics of Scary Gary (Indiana)

Happy 4th of July

[Update: Good News!!! ]

GM says Goodbye?

to Hummer, Saturn, and apparently Saab.

Saab?? GM can totally sell Saab. Ideally to Subaru.

Good until it wasnt

Well, this year has been pretty good so far.

A nice inauguration, news that my mom’s treatment is progressing positively, and I’ve even been invited to interview for some positions that I didn’t even put in for.

But there is a problem. One of my best friends crossed a serious line Sunday night. He was wasted drunk at the end of a party and tried to make me beat him up by attacking me with his closed fists and even a glass (and a bottle, which someone else took from him).

It sucks, because I almost beat the living crap out of him. It’s a bad situation. I don;t do that and he’s already used his ‘get out of jail free card’ with me over this sort of thing. He told me that he didn’t want to fight me per se, but that he wanted someone to beat him up,and there I was. Mostly sober me.

Mostly sober me who took it for 3 hours before finally raising an open handed welt on his face. I just bear hugged him up to that point when he tried to tackle me.

I really think I need to cut my losses, because I am becoming convinced I can’t help him anymore. We’ve had talks about him and liquor.

Any advice? I could use it. When do you just cut your losses?
