Hey, it sure does feel good to be right. I’m glad I didn’t update to measly old Wordpress 2.0.7 because then I would’ve seen this new Ella business and torn my hair out. Is upgrading such an ordeal for anyone else? I started this process at 10 last night after 24* and here it is early Tuesday morning. There were tears. Then I enlisted the help of TBU, regretting it almost immediately. Words and phrases were taken out of context by both parties. Then there were more tears and a few moments of deciding I just wouldn’t have a blog anymore. But I pulled through and after a bit of tweaking I think I’m ok. I miss the old posting format though, Ella is a bit of a snob. Seriously, I feel like such a failure at Wordpress because the “Famous five minute install” took me two days and multiple attempts. Little by little I’m getting a hold of the php thing, but sheesh.

*After watching five seasons of 24, TBU has just brought it to my attention that Jack Bauer is just Macgyver for the new millenium. A Macgyver that will bite your throat off but a Macgyver nonetheless. I mean, there was that scene tonight where he saves a guy from a helicopter with a janky piece of metal. That’s when it was like, “Oh, I’ve seen this before. When I was eight.”

Everybody say transition! Yeah! Oh hell yeah!

I’ve completely checked out of my job. We leave for Costa Rica on Thursday (we leave from LA on Friday, but we’re driving down early to rest and visit Thursday night) and I just could not care less. Oh, Student wants to bitch and moan about doing math? That’s fine, I’m just reading the paper. What. Ever. Oh, my ten minute break was twenty five minutes? What are you going to do about it, teacher? That’s what I thought. That attitude is why I’m sitting here posting at almost 1am, I don’t care if I’m tired tomorrow. I’m not really going to do my job anyway.

If I didn’t think before I spoke (or typed) I might sound something like this, “Costa Rica Costa Rica Costa Rica sex Costa Rica Costa Rica dinner Costa Rica Costa Rica where are my vitamins? Costa Rica Costa Rica Costa Rica sex Costa Rica pour me a glass of wine, please Costa Rica.”

We were in San Francisco last night. By last night I mean Sunday night, if I haven’t fallen asleep it’s still Moday. Anyway, San Francisco, last night. The reasons were complicated but I’ll just let you know that TBU’s boss gave us his credit card and said the words “carte blanche.” We didn’t go apeshit but we did indulge in dinner more than we would have on our own tab. We ordered drinks, appetizers AND salad. That was aside from the regular entrees we ordered. It may not be a big deal for some of you lotto winners and heiresses but it was a most delightful treat for us. The best part of it was someone else paid for it and they weren’t even there. TBU and I enjoyed a romantic evening for two in San Francisco’s adorable North Beach. That’s where we had, what we both consider to be our first date and it was fun to be back there on someone else’s dime and with a lot less rain.

Seriously though, it’s getting late and I have to be up at 7am.
