Just in case you didn't realize you had a vague interest in what I'm up to these days

[Nate the Great]

Nate: What in the world can that be?
Derek (turning around): What, where? I didn't see anything.
Nate (painting a giant target on Derek's back): Oh, I could've sworn I saw something. Heh heh heh.
Derek: What's so funny?
Nate: I'll tell you in a minute. First, let's drink. Me from my, glass, and YOU from yours.
Derek: You guessed wrong.
Nate: You only think I guessed wrong, that's what's so funny! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is, never get involved in a space war in the Alpha Quadrant, but only slightly less well known than this: never go in against a fivist when updates are on the line! Hahahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Hahaha-(thud)

(Please take all of this in good humor, pretty pretty please?)

MFA = Master of the Fine Arts. It's a writing thing, in this case.

As for Florida solidarity, I really do love this state. My mother is from Connecticut and it would pain her to hear me say that. But I grew up here, she didn't. And I really love the climate and (most) of the people. And there's so much to do here it's crazy.

We're going to California for (her) work stuff and (my) school stuff. We may stay there, we may go elsewhere, we may come right back here. We're not ruling anything out at this point. So now, I'm just focused on enjoying myself in a gorgeous area with a gorgeous climate and a whole 'nother set of so much to do it's crazy... not to mention a high cost of living (arg). California should be fun. But I am still a Floridian.

Fiver: To think -- all that time it was your cup that had the procrastination.
Derek: They both had it. I spent the last few years getting used to procrastination from being around Zeke.

You guys were wondering about the target on Derek's back, admit it. Simply put, that's the remnant of another direction I was going with the joke, and I went with something else and was too lazy to delete it.
