So I've gotten thousands of emails in the years that I've been online and with an email account. But today I got one that I consider a landmark: it's my first email from my grandmother. Before just a little while ago, the computer my grandparents were using was an antique - it was a 1987 word processor. I'm surprised it worked as long as it did ( Read more... )

My parents both want me to not take the summer class since they found out that another apartment at the Bidwell's Mills Apartment complex is actually available in August, which is when the Fall 2006 semester starts. It'd definitely be less of a hassle, but I was looking forward to getting that Survey of Finance class out of the way when I didn't ( Read more... )

This quiz/survey was stolen from justplainjen, who stole it from someone else, who most likely stole it from someone else. The chain of stealings continues. I was originally going to put this under a cut, but it's actually got a lot of good questions and answers in my opinion, so I'll leave it in plain sight for the whole world to see.

Well, a lot happened today - more than I expected, actually. This afternoon I went to my orthodontist's appointment and figured something might have been wrong with their computer system or that they just didn't get around to getting my appointment from the charts to the computer. I was right - they have this computer system where you're supposed ( Read more... )

We went to see King Kong a little while ago and just got back an hour or so ago. Good movie, I thought, although there doesn't seem to be a consensus about that. But I'm not really sure who likes it and who doesn't ( Read more... )

I'm back in Monterey now - have been for little over a day as I got back last night at 9 PM. I got a ride from Lee, which was quite enjoyable, and I paid for her gas as promised since she was doing me a big favor by giving me a ride even though she was headed home anyway ( Read more... )

This class is starting to remind me far too much of that PC Repair class I had several semesters ago. The teacher knows his stuff, but sometimes I just think he shouldn't be teaching ( Read more... )

My sister says that I whine too much in my journal and well, she's right. She also said I should quit focusing on the negative and I might actually enjoy myself, which is a very good idea, but sadly, easier said than done. I've been a pessimist - which is essentially another word for someone who focuses on the negative - most of my life. I was ( Read more... )

I called my parents last night to ask about spilt milk and ended up finding out something entirely unrelated to that which was rather disappointing. Dad cancelled their cable last week. Mom rarely watches TV, she watches movie on on occasion, but almost never TV. Dad, however, has been known to veg out in front of the TV on a regular basis ( Read more... )

So I was planning on going to sleep at 11 PM, when Without a Trace Finished, but I decided to finish reading my friends list and get caught up on it since I wasn't online at all yesterday outside of work. And I was going to wait until tommorow to post an entry but I got depressed and all thoughtful after watching that TV show, so I figured I might ( Read more... )
