I will never get over how much I love BBQ and real, good BBQ. I know it's not healthy and in large amounts is bad for me, but seriously...it's my favorite food. And it probably always will be. MMMmmm, BBQ....I'm partial to Kansas style (found a new place in town that's very much Kansas City style - I was in heaven!), but really, I love it all. The best thing is, though, that Nate understands this and is willing to take me to places that serve awesome BBQ.

I want to do a BBQ tour someday and I've done my research.

I'm not sure living in Texas makes one a Texan. Some people would say "If a cat had kittens in an oven, that wouldn't make them biscuits."
But, yeah, I've lived in Texas for over 20 years now, most of my life.
I think the test is whether or not you put beans in your chili.
You come to Austin and I'll show you some good BBQ too if you return the favor when I'm in HoustonYou know where they serve awesome BBQ? Houston, TX.

Well, I fail that one too.
I had an Australian prof who was not 'Australian', and he conveyed this by saying, "Not everything born in a stable is a horse." I never could decide if he had a messiah complex.
The university I'm going to next semester has a gym and shower/locker room available free to all students, buildings/parking lots open 24 hours, presumably microwaves in the student lounge... I'm kind of starting to think I could get away with just getting a van to live out of instead of finding an apartment I could actually afford on financial aid...
That would seem like a terrible idea by the end of the first week.
I was throwing out some 12 to 15 year old software at work today. I stumbled across a complete set of install disks for Windows for Workstations. I did not have the heart to toss it out.
I also found a Win98 disk, but it was only for IBM's.
Thinking about upgrading my net package. I hate how expensive it is. Erg.

Pssh, lady, I got references who assure me that's not in need of upgrade. They... they wouldn't lie to me, right?
...oh god.

I am the rock upon whom you can depend. Apparently.
Helped my dad hang up art at the school he works at, and they are STILL using Windows XP! Bad for the school since its kindof outdated, but once they upgrade in ten years(I'm realistic)- HELLO DOS! Give or take my dad still works there in ten years instead of retires like he logically would by then, and would even know where they would send the old computers-BUT STILL- a flan can hope.
On to more serious issues, while I was stapling up pictures the cork bars were FREAKING irritating to put staples on. They were covered in used staples in thumb tacks, clean those up! People wanna staple stuff on there, and teacher's children won't volunteer to help destaple all the time. Fleh, it was manageable though. Annoying but manageable.

Yeah, XP is still fine, though gamers are going to need to upgrade to at least 7 in a year or so.
