Has it REALLY been a week since I've posted?  I went by so quickly, which happens when you're busy, and yet, it was a hell of a week, and seems like forever.  It's not like I haven't had ideas of things to post, either. Some of the things I want to tell you about regarding this week:

• The Shirt That Wants Me To Be Sexy:  On Wednesday, I decided to be daring and wear a hawaiian shirt to work.  From the moment I stepped out of my car, I began recieving compliments on it.  I felt all cool and shit.  However, the top buttonhole is a bit bigger than the button, so it kept popping open, showing more manly chesthair than I'm comfortable showing in the office.  This caused great stress for me all day, because I apparently don't have enough deadlines or broken email to worry about, I have to worry about being Inappropriately Sexy in an office where everyone knows I'm gay, and there are no other gay males to be impressed.  Damn you, Shirt That Wants Me To Be Sexy!!! Damn you!
• JournalCon 2003: Web Writer's Weekend registration is now open:  You've heard me blab here and there about this, and it's just now starting to seem real, and not something that's out there in the abstract.  We as a committee are really exicited, and I hope everyone else is, too, because we have some really neat things planned.  Registration has already opened, and it's $55 dollars now, but that will go up as we approach the event, so register now.  Also, if you live in Texas (lucky you) we have a special registration option for you, details are on the site.
• Texas is hot as hell already:  And I couldn't take it anymore.  Due to the immenent replacement of my car, I had decided to not invest in fixing the air conditioner in my old car, because it's expensive and I didnt' want to spend one more dollar on the Volvo Of Doom than I had to.  But I wimped out about midweek, and had it fixed.  I couldn't take it anymore.  When it's almost a hundred degrees in May, you know that June and July are just going to SUCK, so I bit the bullet.  Thank you, Banc One Visa, for the air conditioned car.  You can send me a thank you letter when I pay you back with interest, okay?
• I'm really looking forward to this weekend:  It's BearWatch in Galveston, and that means bears, fun, food, bears and more bears!  I'm leaving the office early today and heading south to the Isle of hey-there's-sand-and-grimey-water-what-do-you-want-from-us-it-ain't-pretty-but-it's-a-beach.  Galveston has tons of history, though, and some beautiful houses and public buildings.  Should be lot of fun, as I haven't been to Galveston in years.  I'll have a full report (and some pictures, too, maybe) next week.

Have a great weekend!

"Isle of hey-there's-sand-and-grimey-water-what-do-you-want-from-us-it-ain't-pretty-but-it's-a-beach" - oh sweet Jeebus, that killed me. I live not far from Galveston, and that pretty much sums up how I feel about it. I'll be back to read your journal, and hopefully see you at JournalCon, if I can make it.
