The bugs are gone. The leaves are vibrant and beautiful.

It's perfect.
I like fall well enough, so much so that I seem to have a case of reverse seasonal effective disorder. I guess I still attribute fall to heading back to college and seeing all my friends again, and the various fall parties I would go to.
But this fall... I'm just not ready for it. I'm not ready for it to start getting cold again. Not by a long shot. I'm still smarting from this last winter we had. This summer has gone so fast it's like it wasn't even here. :sad:
You're telling me. We went from a beautiful summer to freaking winter over night! It poured rain all day on Sunday, and yesterday it was actually chilly. There was freaking fog on my street last night!Quote:

I had no problems with my wisdom teeth coming out. It balanced the level of wiseness in me, as I was become far too sage-like.
I was up the same evening of the extraction, and even drove to a record store all hopped up on drugs to buy some CD.
Where the fuck did summer go?Quote:

The "death" about you has never been and will never be so lushly pungent and precisely beautiful. It's the only season that can't get on your nerves the more you walk through it, lie down on it, sit in it. You can almost hold onto the thing, tangibly, until the nights dip colder and the trees sigh with the released weight of their capricious wards. You walk inside, after possibly countless hours, and briefly wish you could live in Fall woods forever, but then you remember that the wait makes the arrival sweeter and more joyful.
Aye, I love fall. Its my favorite season, followed by spring. Which is kind of funny, considering that fall is about death and spring is about birth. In a way they kind of compliment each other. I detest summer, but I hate winter the most. I dread actually seeing snow this year, as it will bring back bad memories of last year's damn wicked winter. But enough of that talk. Fall also has my favorite two holidays, Thanksgiving and Halloween.
I too have to get some wisdom teeth out. While surgery scares me the most out of anything (I don't mind trips to the dentist and I'm used to getting fillings by now-the last one was completely quick and painless), I think I'll just go do it and get it over with it. I've needed to get them out since last spring, but I think I'll just take care of it over winter break.
Purchased this yesterday:

It's nice.
The football or the television?
The longer I work with my boss the less I am convinced he knows what he's doing.

Congratulations, D, you now own the exact same television as me.
It's wonderous.
Sweet. It's supposed to be a good one.Quote:

Playing "Geometry Wars 2" on that, with surround sound, is pretty amazing.
My boss is AWESOME. She juggles everything for our team and is almost always available for questions or whatnot. She keeps everything inhumanly organized and almost never loses her cool. She's pleasant and sweet and as OCD as I am.Quote:

I have the best boss ever.
He's like working with your best friend.
His philosophy is "I don't believe in getting stressed out for work. I see it as, we come here to socialize, and manage to get shit done while we're here."
We're looking at a Samsung 50" 1080P plasma....
I can't wait until i can afford expensive shit like that. Being a poor college student sucks... bah, by the time I graduate and I'm financially stable enough to afford it, the world will probably be blown apart. Oh well, my PC monitor has its charms.
I can't believe that my wife and I are in the position where we can afford stuff like this. It's strange. I never imagined I'd have the stuff I do. I think we are really blessed, and we work hard at our jobs. We are very fortunate to be able to do this - of course, 3 years, zero interest doesn't hurt. :)Quote:

When did Samsungs become good? Have they always been? It seems like they have some of the highest rated HD televisions out right now.Quote:

They've been good for quite some time now I think. I like their cell phones, too. Just bought the Glyde. Purty.Quote:

I'm sure you'll be happy with this if you get it.
I've honestly never seen a picture so clear. Watching HD channels is like looking through a window.
