Replacing olive oil with a calorie-equivalent amount of tuna in my lunch has seen a dramatic improvement in my hunger levels come dinnertime.  Only downside is that I am a cat owner.  I'll leave you guys to figure out what that entails, given the context.

I got my first paycheck that includes my monthly bonus today. It was double what my paycheck normally is. My wages just went and rocketed up.

This was yesterday, but I was able to go to dinner with my parents and my sister. We haven't done that in I think close to 2.5 years. It was really nice to do that.

I'll stop eating beef lamb and pork the same day they start letting me eat vegetarians.

There are these radio adds in Finland for loans to people who are buying an apartment (I am pretty sure the word is mortage but checking it on my phone is difficult and if I'm wrong at least you get a laugh) where the punchline is that something really surprising happeo and some one needs a new apartment. Like a guy getting a call from a woman he barely knows (assuming so because she has to tell him her name but he does recognize it) telling him she's pregnant.

...This morning I heard a version that began with a Trump speech clip and then went to the advertising speech about life being full of surprises unlike their mortage.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Well, today is the big day. My fiancée and I are driving from her old home in Kennewick up to Spokane to be married in a small civil ceremony at the courthouse there. Been pretty emotional for us both.

I'm excited and can't wait until we start our new life together :D

I don't mean to alarm you, but I think someone put photos of your wedding feast online:

Just finished hacking together a Python script to generate bash executables that auto-build entire projects for my CPSC 340 (Data Structures and Algorithms) class.  Its really nice since we're working with C++ (hooray!), but using a command-line (boo) compiler.  Just pass it in a folder and, optionally, a name for the makefile, and it does the rest.  It does assume that there's a main.cpp in the base folder you pass in, but other than that, it should be fully recursive and capable of building anything.

TOOL.  USING.  SPECIES, MOTHERFUCKER.

A little late in the update, but something very good happened recently:

I.

Graduated.

College.

As of December 2016, I am now the proud recipient of a Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies from the University of Washington Bothell.

Gratz!

Thanks. This has been a LONG time coming. I started college in 2007.

Found out via my new book (seriously, one of the best presents EVAR) that, as of the 2011 standard, C++ supports lambda expressions.  The compiler I use for CPSC 340 supports, via an argument, C++11.  I think you can see where this is going.  IT IS TIME TO SHOW THE FUCK OFF, MOTHERFUCKERS.
