Well, I took the test. I can’t say anything else about it, because I’m sworn to copyright by ETS. I got a 570 and a 740 but I won’t know what my writing score was for a little while. I don’t think those numbers are good enough to get into UW’s masters program so I’d better get to studying. Oddly enough, I actually enjoyed myself. The 50 mile drive to the testing station was pretty annoying though. Luckily Dave Mathews kept me company. 47 more days… X)

For sale. Needs a good home. Will run great and provide new caretaker with hours of fun and exciting maintenance games. Is spontaneous and creative – wilse to role play the “just a piece of scrap metal” role. All in all, a great companion. Buy now. ;P Eriko, sooooooon.

Things may slow down a bit as I have more things to do and less time to write. I am enjoying my new job, my new commute is long, and I am looking forward to a new trip to Japan. ;P I will see my Eriko in 51 days.

Eriko loves me. I need you, Eriko. I need you now. Everyday.

My first wet commute. I can honestly say it wasn’t so bad – but it wasn’t so good either. ;P I tried a different bus route which took me right in front of the office. Quite nice. Unfortunately, I have to walk a distance to get to the bus – about the same distance that I have to walk from the other route to the office. I think I’ll start looking for that apartment soon…

The first day of work at Isilon Systems was a blast. The commute was long, about 2 hours up and 1.5 hours down – and I was exhausted, having woken up at 5:15. But I had a lot of fun. My co-workers took me out for lunch, which was awfully kind. Actually, I’m quite eager to go to work tomorrow… I hope Eriko enjoys her new job… =)
