Damp and Hot, gladly not simultaneously.

My apartment seems to have become sadly waterlogged. I am looking for advice on how to remedy this problem. Hopefully we will have the problem solved by our landlord who is sending "carpet people" in tomorrow but I'm not sure that they will do anything but clean up the carpet. I'd rather not invest in a dehumidifier but it's all I can think of unless I can just leave sponges out on the counters and hope for the best.

In other news the faire season is starting we've had three weeks of rehearsals so far and it is looking pretty phenomenal. My character this year, Messir Percival Cornelius Thykket Esq Prop. of the Towne Square Pub is coming around nicely. I 'm also excited about Tab's contribution, Philomela Wyllewykket, towne midwife. She's great fun and has a lot of comedy power centering on euphemistic discussion of... whodilidoos. The rest of the cast has come up with an amazing collection of townsfolk. We have two witches, two criminals, two vagrants, a knight, an inventor, a don Juan, a librarian and a gravedigger. All told I think this is going to be a gang buster year and am looking forward to watching the rockstarification of another group of phenoms.

Hello Internet!

So, my internet presence has been sorely lacking as of late. It's a lucky break that I have twitter which gives me the ability to update you all when I don't have a computer. This is, of course, my own vanity at work assuming that you are all waiting with bated breath to hear what is is I wish to say. Yes, I do realize how ironic it is for me to comment on that phenomena in a blog which is based on the same premise. If you wish to begin having the Alanis Morsette song "Ironic" play in your head I recommend staving it off with something which correctly uses English terminology. You could try my recent chart topper "Hyperbole is the best thing ever".

Having now established my award winning tangential abilities I guess I should tell you about the ways of my life. Things have been going well. I really enjoy my job at MSI. It's not exactly what I thought we would be doing but that doesn't make it any less fun. We meet all kinds of cool people, some of whom manage to be even bigger nerds than I am. The only downside is that there is probably a solid quarter of my brain space devoted to Harry Potter Trivia which will likely never be useful in any other context. If anyone finds themselves in need of a Harry Potter Quizmaster I'm your man. Otherwise I may be in need of a penseive come September.

I am considering investing in a small laptop for the upcoming semester at Loyola though I will likely wait until I actually get a confirmation from them that they want me. That said I am highly anticipating finding out what I 'm going to be doing with my Autumn months.

My apartment has seen some changes recently. Josh has departed for his brand new condo and we inherited the fine Mr. Andy Huttel. At nearly the same time along came the lovely Katie Chin who has taken up residence as well. We are working on accommodating her a little more than simply a couch but it has been a great time. Also nice is that my apartment now contains more chefs than just myself.

I'm sure the more interesting news though is that things have been moving forward with Tabitha as we have now gone shopping for rings and are looking forward to making more solid plans for a few life changing events which we are looking very much forward to.

So here is where I ask you all. What do you think of when you think about us? If you happen to only know one of us well that's fine. In looking toward themes and elements we want our events to echo with the things we love as well as the things you all love about us. So whether you think of nerdy movies, over-affectionate couples or pirates or something else I'd like to know. It'll help us a lot.
