Waiting to Exhale is a movie I've never seen, so any reference I make to it isn't particularly strong or well-founded
 
But man, that's kindof how life feels right now.  Ok, maybe not really.  Things just seem pretty surreal and haunted and good. 
 
Work isn't hard, but that's because suddenly I'm reading papers, and getting the sickening feeling I should be doing something more and somehow synthesizing what I'm reading into something presentable to Ned.  I honestly get alot of joy from starting out with a subject I don't know much about, accumulating a small hoarde of papers, and becoming an expert if I can.  But it's not an easy, or really tangible thing.  And it gets boring sometimes.  But I have a project, and it's mine to be an authority on.  Just have to keep focusing at least daily, and maybe start writing.
 
Life is really very good.  I just picked up my brother at the bus station, and JEBUS it's so good to see him.  He's my first best friend, and I forget how much I miss him until he's around.  We're only two years apart, so we get along pretty well, and get to vent about the craziness of our parents, and compare notes on games and movies and the internet. 
 
And of course, there's alot of sappy stuff I'm not posting.  Ben is a good, good thing. 
 
I don't know, in general things just seem weird.  Some times I just look up from whatever I'm doing and think "So THIS is my life! oh!"  It is not where I would've predicted it.  And I'm sure I'm going to have some choice moments in the future that will make me question it again and again.  But it's a great place to be.
 
Finally, we've got a storm advisory up,  and MAYBE Don will see some exciting weather!
