the living and the bloodthirsty dead

I called Jaymee last night after I got home from work and did my homework. When she called back we talked a little about how I think she still has to finish her past relationship and that we have to take it slowly until that's through. She was pretty pissed but I spoke how I felt and I tried to be considerate. I don't like feeling like I'm a reaction to someone else, nor that I exist in someone else's shadow. If that's crazy then I blew it, I suppose. But if what she has is resolvable then this is a good thing. I did send her a semi-drunk email after we hung up, which, after sober review this morning seems reasonable enough, though not entirely lucid.

While things generally rocked considerably, one tense moment occurred when Eli revealed his Chaos-Reflecting Sabre with +2 against Fire Elemental Attacks. He held the sword out toward a waitress, who froze and spontaneously changed genders in an attempt to confuse her would-be assassin. However, it was just a misunderstanding, it turned out, when it was revealed that gender is just an illusion, and that the sword was a construct of "the media," and that we are all one under the flag.

I keep trying to download Rikki Tikki Tavi but I keep getting some other Russian (maybe Czech?) version. It's cool animation, but I'm still looking for the original.
