moocowinthecity Well all I have to do now is go pack; I have riesen chews for the plane (Yum!) and I need to pack my briefcase and laptop and such, and then we can be off (yippee!). I’ll edit *this* post soon as I finish doing some stuff

Wow, i now have a journal client so I don’t have to go through the web
Coolios! I now have something that is an applicaiton that will update my LJ for me on my computer so I don’t have to go through the LJ website. Anyways, here is what’s going down at the pad of the Gods…
First, my grandparents came over today and first we talked about college, moving on, and caught up on things. Then we went out and got some lunch at the plainview diner (on the way out I was very very very happy to see that my two books on bookbinding came) and lunch was very good. Grandma and Grandpa came back home and we said our goodbyes, and then they drove home to beat traffic.
Right now it is 6:54 and I’m *JUST* doing my laundry so I can pack and be ready to leave for the airport tomorrow (woohoo, Orientation Day at Buffalo HERE I COME!).
Anyways, I have some more installing to do, so I’ll chat with you later.

On the train again, I just can’t wait to get on the train again…
Wow, its 1:31:55 am and I’m writing this while I’m on the train (I’m going to post this as soon as I get home. This was the first *GOOD* day I have had in a long while.
I got to work at the IAC in the morning; they sent me out to get a keyboard for a new computer I was supposed to setup (I also picked up a new day-timer organizer, one that actually FITS in my bag…) and then when I got back, I was sent to a special New York Library branch where they had shelves and shelves or archived photos. I had to get photos on Martin Luther King, the Black Panthers and other civil rights groups (the IAC is publishing a new book on civil rights, but anyways…).
Then, when we got back a bunch of us took the Q train to Coney Island and saw (for free mind you) an *AWESOME* fireworks show. We got to sit on the beach not more than ten feet from where they were launching them, it was great; there was a spectacular “Red, White and Blue” finish.
Then I realized what time it was, so I didn’t get to go on any rides (but now that I know how to get there, I’m gunna go back with friends), I said my goodbyes and high tailed it to the Q train, took a 45 minute ride to 14th Street – Picked up some roses for Mom (the grandparents are coming tomorrow…) got a sandwich and a Gatorade for the train (as well as some grapes) and caught the F (because I was too lazy to walk two more blocks to the 3) to 34th street and walked over to Penn. Station.
When I got to Penn Station, I called home to inquire as to whether or not my brother passed his road tests (if the fates are kind they would have failed him, just on the basis that he made fun of me for failing my first time and has been nasty as all hell latley…) but no one would give me a straight answer. When I called Dad was actually civil (albeit a pain in the ass) so I guess things are looking up.
As I have said before, he has fired my mother five times (or is it six) so me being fired once isn’t really a big deal, it just means that I have to erase’ my “Jarro” schedule from my day planner which means I need to buy a new eraser.
It’s now 1:39:23 AM and I’m not even home yet, there are three cops on this bus who are acting like total ass holes, honestly, and they wonder why people call (called) them PIGS!
Anyway, it was a great day, I felt like al little kid again seeing the fire works, it was an amazing display, and I was with friends so all is well, I actually smiled and laughed, I hadn’t done that for a few days :-)) so I can now go to sleep happy, and now wakeup early and go…COLLEGE SHOPPING ::groan:: then my grandparents are coming over for dinner (to jointly celebrate their anniversary and me and Dave’s graduation.
We’ll g’night!
