army notice, and things to do

[katsaris]

Got my army notice yesterday, finally. Am to present myself at May 11, in Corinth. Gonna spent time next couple weeks gathering the things they want -- x-rays, copies of diplomas, copy of criminal record. I wonder if that old quadruple murder conviction is gonna keep me from positions of trust. :-)

Anyway, I'll be discontinuing my Otenet account at May 10, and keeping only my gmail account for email purposes. Gonna also have to see about transferring my old page from Otenet to some new website provider by that time. IIRC verizon was recommended to me by a friend, does anyone else have any more suggestions?

Also gonna see if I can write a small fanfic I have in mind by that time -- there's nothing like a deadline to get me writing fast. Come to think of it there's several more things I want to do internet-wise: I have half-written comments on Kyzlowski's red movie, as well as a comparison on the developments of nations in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien vs Robin Hobb vs George R.R. Martin... And there's also one or two specific Wikipedia contributions I want to make while I have the time. Will see how many of these I can do. :-)

And also need to get myself the series finale of "Friends" ofcourse. :-)

Which reminds me: Tilemache, we need to meet some time to lend you those DVDs we had talked about, if you're still interested.

Got myself a collection of Ursula Le Guin's shorter (and more recent) Earthsea stories today as I was returning from requesting a copy of my diploma. And an issue of Asimov's maganize. And an issue of Analog. Between sleeping (barely slept last night) and reading these, I think this day is done, though it's still just 3:40pm. The next one too, possibly.

And as a sidenote, it's always very annoying when I lose a post and need to rewrite it almost from scratch, as was the case with this one now. Am just glad it wasn't longer.

Btw, new Bleach eps keep on being very cool -- it's almost a different series now, compared to how it begun and the meaningless "Hollow" fights.
