This is WAY too fucking close to deja-vu for me.

Yes, it's late. I'm going to bed as soon as I finish this. I spent a big part of my evening watching MASH reruns for most of the evening, with only a break for Mythbusters (and no, I do not have an addiction to that show). My night wasn't a total write-off though, as I did go through all of Marc's interview preparation stuff and complemented / added new questions to my preparation document, so I'm happy with that. Mainly, it makes me realize that I pretty much know what I want to say, i just need to work on making sure i can say it in a way that won't sound dumb. I'm going to practice talking out loud tomorrow.

After that, i'm going to hit the books to bone up on the technical aspect that's annoying me. I bought a good primer today and I should be done by wednesday for sure, so i'll just keep reading my notes on a daily basis until the interview. I can't really do much more than that :)

On a completely different topic, I scared boris just now. He's sleeping on the bed and as I was putting my paperwork away, a good Santana song came on the radio and I started dancing in my room. He was impressed, I could tell.

Speaking of Santana, he's coming in june at the Bell Center. I hope the tickets aren't some stupid amount of money cause I'd LOVE to go.
