So I did my taxes over the weekend. If I did them right, I owe an additional $22 to the feds and $241 to the state. I'll double-check those figures to make sure I don't go to jail, but those look right. The state one I haven't done rigorously yet, there might be some credits I'm missing.

In which gzt has a moustache
It is getting hot around here, so I cut off the beard last night. It would be a shame to get rid of the whole thing, so I left a moustache. It is awesome. I shaved this morning. Awesome.

Whoops, waited too long.
I mentioned an internal job posting I was interested in, but it got filled or something because I can't find it. There were a couple others in that area with the same or similar titles, but the job requirements were far less tailored to my skill set and interests. BUT there is a different opening that I might apply for.

on drinking
I'm no big drinker, but I just thought to myself after reading that brilliant drunken diary: when was the last time I had a drink?

On Moving
So I moved yesterday. Got a cargo van, schlepped most of the stuff from Point A (and some from Point C) to Point B. Didn't move everything, am still sleeping at the old place for a day or two.

vegetarian chili a la gzt
Last night I had vegetarian chili a la gzt.
I also played Viktory with the roommate. It's apparently not ideal with 2 and we were futzing about trying to get the rules figured out. It was fairly even until a decisive battle took out two of my major towns and landlocked my ships. I couldn't generate enough reinforcements to come back. I was about to make a blitz on his capital, too.

I'm sort of disturbed that my latest diary with that title comes up over all the song lyrics sites.

This is your captain speaking. I successfully made the journey to the wedding. They slew the fatted calf and the peasants rejoiced. I successfully returned despite continuing adverse weather conditions. I could not have done it without my fine support staff.

I've been watching Star Trek: Season 1 on Netflix: Watch Instantly. I did not realize the series only went three seasons. I just watched the episode where they convinced a mind-controlling computer that it was not really benefitting the people it was controlling, so it self-destructed.
The above is my most recent blood pressure. They got the machine working again.

I've got a headache. I watched The Godfather and most of Godfather: Part II last night. I fell asleep in the middle of it.
I went to the liquor store. They had some English and French perry, so I picked it up. It was a new arrival. I will let you know how it goes.
