Life Lesson #47: Do NOT fuck with a man's turtle.

The journeys of my turtles have gotten complicated in the last 6 months. First, Bitey & Franklin decided that they no longer liked each other, and instead wanted to bite each other's limbs off. So they had to be placed into separate tanks (Bitey is currently at Libby's parent's house, as two tanks was a bit much for a small room). Then my Residence Director flip-flopped on her decision to allow my turtles to stay in the dorm, and I had to go over her head. And then over that person's head. I'm pretty sure all the RAs in my building hate me now, but meh. As it stands right now, the university-wide policy on pets is being reviewed based upon my arguments. The lesson here? Don't fuck with a man's turtles.

Today's my last day of the official co-op period here at MIT Lincoln Labs. I'm going to continue working for them part time in the spring, and may return for my 3rd and final co-op. But from tomorrow until December 28th, I will be in Florida, away from this ridiculous snow.

I'm working on the usual big end-of-year music write-up. I don't know when it will go up, but it will.

Happy holidays everybody. Or as I like to say, "If you'd rather die than live in the poor houses, then perhaps you should, and decrease the surplus population!"

Bah-humbug, I'm out.
