Holy Cow...And Pig!

I met with Dr. Vakili yesterday, mainly to touch base on my thesis research. He thinks I'm on the right track, and approves of my systematic approach. I didn't get any candy though. Not a complete bust, I guess. Later, I swung by my local library (100 yards away) for some image processing references (found 2) and any fiber mechanics (no dice) books. And I checked them out, instead of using the honor system. Go me.

Knowing I'll never get a better deal, ever: Priceless

Around 2:00, I headed over to my old stomping grounds to help Jeff and his parents do some loading for his move. After we loaded up the U-Haul that they had stolen as well as (senior) Mr. King's truck, we figured "what the heck" and went ahead and drove on down to Huntsville. We wound up getting back to Tullahoma around 8:00 (I had lunch at 11:00), and Jeff and I ran to Wendy's to eat dinner and bring home some food for his folks. Jeff inhaled his baconator. Literally. I had to take 4 bites. Holy cow...and pig!

I returned this morning for another round of loading, driving, and unloading. Jeff only got crushed by the couch once. Jeff, his dad, and I did some preliminary organization around his new place, which I think made life easier for them later. I have to say that he's got a pretty sweet pad - about 2 square feet more than the townhouse in Tullahoma, and its a single story. That makes for a much better use of space. And he got 2 full baths. Nice upgrade.

We stopped for lunch at Firehouse Subs in Madison (next to Huntsville, where Jeff's new place is). I got the New York steamer (corned beef, pastrami, provolone, Italian dressing, and deli mustard), Jeff's dad ordered the same, and Jeff ordered the Italian Meatball sub. When they brought out our sandwiches, they tried to give Jeff the "Italian," which is an entirely different sandwich. Jeff tells them he ordered the "Italian Meatball sub" and they proceeded to argue. Even if you're totally, absolutely, without-a-doubt right, don't argue with the customer. Now Jeff will never return until his dad comes back to visit.

I got back to Tullahoma by mid-afternoon, and mostly just existed in limbo until dinner time. I grabbed some Subway (really wasn't feeling cooking). I know, two sandwiches in one day is bad. However, its better than a sandwich and an entire pizza. That's always a good rationalization.

Tonight, the Sci-Fi Channel aired an original movie Highlander: The Source. It was pretty good; it used the TV characters, which I liked; however, Queen didn't contribute to the soundtrack, which I was saddened by. Someone did cover Princes of the Universe, but it just wasn't the same. On the whole, it was better than nothing (no Law & Order marathon).

Who knows what tomorrow might bring?
