That phrase always amused me. However, as it's the Paschal season, it's out of place to bring it up.
Reminder in case you missed it: we're thinking July 14 for ChiHuSiMeet unless there are severe objections from anybody whose opinion matters.

and stuff goes on
I wound a few things down, so now I have a little less stress. I turned in all my outstanding homework in numerical analysis, I'd been sitting on one or two problems for weeks.

So I'll quickly retype. PSU invited me to their information day. "This invitation is extended to applicants with offers or high on our waiting list." I don't have an offer, so I presume I'm high on the waiting list. They're my top choice, so if I get accepted there, I am definitely going.

Have chess today against $UNIVERSITY on the northside. It's a bit of a trek, but I'm most worried about getting back. I'll see if the wifing unit can pick me up after, I might have to give a ride to some others on the way back, too.

Don't worry about Planet Express, let me worry about blank.
I am making a slight purge of books on my shelves. I got rid of a lot when we got married and moved, but I still have some that can go.

I was stupid and couldn't type right, apparently. I accidentally did my change of address request wrong with the post office and said I was moving into 2W instead of 1W. I sent in a correction today.
