We put our bread in the food pantry, next to the drier sheets, so now I'm home for lunch eating and egg salad sandwich that tastes like fresh laundry. It's gross.

Justin's family came down for the weekend and good times were had. Justin and his dad went to the 'Ole Miss game on Saturday and I hung around with the woment folk (His mom, sister and grandmother). We went out to eat and then had a bit of an adventure when we tried to find our way home from Taco Bell. On football Saturday's, Oxford's population increases to 7 times what it normally is, so some of the roads get blocked off. Naturally, one of the roads we needed to get back to the apartment was closed, so I tried to go a "back way" and we ended up driving in the Mississippi country side for about 20 minutes. But we made it back because of my killer navigational skills. Then we went to Memphis and had dinner at Corky's, drove by Graceland about 9 times, finally stopped and looked like tourists with our cameras flashing at 10 o'clock at night. Oh, and we saw a pimp.

All in all a pretty interesting weekend.

I have Haloscan now, thanks to my amazing blogging skills and much help from the Kristin, so that should be the end of blog spam. I've been meaning to update for some time now, but my computer has had this virus thing that I got from clicking a link on AIM. You would think I would know better, but no. I finally got them quarantined, but I've been unable to delete them entirely, which i sucky. Perhaps it's time for a visit to the infamous IT center. On the up side, the folks at this IT center are actually pleasant and helpful, unlike the smug bastards at Bridgewater. So, if it does indeed end in a trip across campus, while lugging a huge and heavy computer tower, I can rest assured that I will be treated with respect and dignity instead of condescending glares and upity responses. Even now, just thinking about the horrible people at Bridgewater's IT center angers me. Alas, it was a small price to pay for all the gloriousness that was BC. *sigh* what i wouldn't do for some grab-n-go and a paint fest with the kristin...Or a 30 second encounter with my phantom roommate...or an ashbire class... I think its the change of the seasons. I always get overly sentimental when the weather changes.

It has finally started to feel like fall here in Mississippi, which is a relief. I was afraid I'd miss out on the cool crisp weather and the smoky smell of autumn. The leaves haven't started to change yet, but I think its coming soon. I'm sure there will be a massive post on the glory of autumn when the leaves burst into full color.

Yeah, I'll be getting Haloscan tongight when I get home from work. I think a random guy talking about penis enlargement is where this girl draws the line. I don't have a penis, I don't want one, and if I did have one, I wouldn't want to make it bigger.

I've spent the last two days trying to "de-virus" my computer because I'm an idiot and I click AIM linkss that are really viruses. You'd think that I would know better, but no. I think I finally got rid of it...at least that's what my free virus scanner says. Welp, I guess that's all the "exciting" news for now.

Oh, and today makes two months of the married life for me and Justin. Go us!

Gary Collins, Macy Gray, Jason Alexander ("George" from Seinfeld), Ray Romano and Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond) and Morgan Freeman. What do these people have in common? They are all people that I saw tonight. Yes, I saw all of these people in one night. How and Where, you ask? Well, given the devistation left by hurricane Katrina people have banned together to do relief efforts, raise money and such. Ole Miss hosted "Mississippi Rising," a benefit concert,today and Justin and I decided to go hang out behind the coliseum where all of the performers were exiting. We figured security would be so tight we couldn't see anything. It wasn't. As a matter of fact, security sucked. We were about 10 feet from Ray Ramono. How insanely cool is that? The actual benefit concert was right across the street from us, which is pretty cool to begin with, but I saw Morgan freaking Freeman. Yeah, I'm star-struck.

Also, I finally broke out the paints and got my painting groove on today. It felt so nice. I've missed it so. Tomorrow I'd like to go to Wal-Mart and get some more brushes and a few more canvases. Justin is quite the helpful little Muse. He was offering suggestions that were quite insightful. He could tell where I was going with my piece before I told him and when I implemented his suggestions it added just the right touch.

Finally, I am a hero today. For those of you who don't know, Justin is deathly afraid of spiders. Normally I'm not, but when they're the diameter of a soda can, I tend to be a bit freaked out. At any rate, Justin and I were chillin' in the living room, when a nasty huge black spider crawled out from behind the sofa, and started walking across our couch cushions. Justin went into convulsions and I screamed such a squeaky little girl scream (you know, like carl). But, I braved danger and smashed the little bastard with my flip flop, saving us both from a slow and horrible death. ...well maybe not death, but it was creepy.
