OMG, DFW IN THE ICT

. . . which roughly translates as "Oh, My Gosh! Down For Whatever in Wichita!"

Kari, Ellie, and I are road-tripping through the great state of KS this weekend. Where we'll stop, nobo-- ok, everyone knows we're stopping in Wichita, and I realize that joke wasn't very funny. I'm just so excited about finding some new digs and the chance to get some QT Fremamily time with Kristi and Mary.

I'm looking at a few apts to rent, a few condos to purchase, and a room in the house of a guy in my MFA program. He seems really nice, but the kicker is . . . he has "exotic" pets. He has exotic pets, and yet I can't get a puppy. wtf. I told him I'm expecting a partial rent remission if a snake eats me. eeeek.

Wish us luck as we mingle among the movers and shockers. More lame WSU jokes to follow.

Memphis in May Music Fest

We had a great time at Music Fest last weekend. Here's a picture of my favorite band, the Unclothed Gentlemen. Hopefully I won't get sued for image impingement, or something.

Rock the Shocker!

Well, fremamily . . it's official. This fall I'll be matriculating at Wichita State University's Graduate School. I'm not exactly sure what a "shocker" is, but I'm told it involves corn. Wish me luck as I shuck my way through the next three years.

The Arms

So I saw ultrasound pictures of Kari and LJ's future offspring today for the first time. Does anyone else see this kid doing the arms? It's like, "woo-hoo, first grandchild!"

To wit:

I vote for a restart

Just to get it out there: this week sucks! Has anyone else noticed?? Today at work everything that could have gone wrong did. We spent the entire day fixing a major issue from yesterday so we didn't even have time to deal with current business from today. We got more calls this morning about the problem than we've had in the entire past two weeks. It's like someone decided to make this psychotic Wednesday. I was under the impression that the middle of the week was supposed to be the hump heading toward the good part of the week but at the rate we've been going I don't want to know what Thursday and Friday are going to bring...

OOOOOOOO-klahoma!

Here's an idea I've been kicking around in the old noggin. What interest would there be in a fremamily trip to Discoveryland one weekend to see Oklahoma under the stars? There are shows every Saturday night until the end of August. We're booked until the end of June, but is there a weekend in July or August that might work in general?
