(no subject)
Well, I supposed I'm finally getting somewhat used to windows 7. I can't quite say I'm in love, and something, I suspect flash, still occasionally causes bluescreens that completely kill the machine. Still, I supposed I can live with it, and ought to stop living in the past. Now I just need my copy of microsoft office to show up at the bookstore. Open office works, and is probably closer to what I'm used to than the new office, but I paid for the darned thing, and I'd like to use it. RIP Office XP in Japanese. I will miss you.
I need to pin down rikoshi about a Japanese question. I want to put a tattoo of the four noble truths as a band around my arm, but based on the tattoo shop's size recommendation, I'll need a more concise rendering of them than the phrasing on wikipedia. Either that, or get me some 22" biceps.
This weekend was not actually my birthday, but the day I went out and had birthday dinner with family, since my mom will be in Vegas this coming week during my b-day. Got a copy of Cloud Atlas, a case of wine (half of which is Cab Sav, my in general least favorite wine, have to try to exchange it) a new pea coat from my sis, and a rolling pin. I read Cloud Atlas over the weekend, and it's an odd and haunting read. I'm not real sure how I feel about it at this point. I'll have to pick it up again at some point.
In general I'm feeling a bit out of sorts and behind, as it seems like everything I intend to do takes about twice as long as I anticipate, leaving me with half as much energy after completion as I hoped. That's pushed some things to the back burner, like sleep, laundry, dirty dishes, and most distressingly my book. I really wish I could quit something to have time again... School is a big thing to keep going, and I can't afford to quit my job yet, and since I can't hire a maid, guess I'm stuck for the next 8 months.
Also feeling torn about something personal. I want to just up and ask something, but I suspect the answer is no. I don't want to risk not asking, but at the same time I don't want to face the very high probability of rejection at this point either. I dunno, I guess I'll just sort of float on for a bit.
