It's been a while

I haven't posted in almost a month, but what are you going to do? sue me? Anyway, my life has basically returned to normal... working at the astronomy department and going to classes, only this time it's tilted more toward work and less toward school. I'm taking a meteorology class (METO400) and a linguistics class (LING444), which on the surface don't seem to be related. That's because they aren't. They both are, however, good candidates for artificial intelligence, and I would like to have my computer speaking english and predicting the weather before I die (and really, I would like to see it prevent me from dying too). I could even try to have it do both, and I'd have my own little meteorologist on the monitor. I'm thinking simple weather forecasts, like "It's gon' rain" or something. I don't know.
I need to go on more dates, because I had no idea what I was doing last night. I'm used to knowing a woman first, and going on dates once it's apparent that we both like eachother, so when I'm put in a situation where I hardly know the woman, I'm left confused and disoriented. I have no idea what to talk about, and I forget everything I had planned on saying. That's what happened last night; I met her at a party a couple weeks ago, and this is the first time we hung out not surrounded by (and being) loud, drunk people. Still, I had a good time, and I hope we do it again. I just hope I can take all my friends advice to heart and not be an asshole. That's my brothers job.
Speaking of which, my brother's working on getting eagle (in boy scouts) and needs to do a project that benefits the community, so if anybody is interested in doing some construction for the humane society, let me know. I don't know when he plans on doing it, so I don't really have any more information.
Now go away, I ain't got nothing else to say to you.
