Maybe I'm being cynical because I never made it into All-State in high school. But I doubt it ( Read more... )

I hate my printer.

So I have an Epson Stylus CX4600 printer. It's pretty cool -- when it decides to work. I've been having problems with it for a couple months now. At first, I thought it was because the ink was low. So I sold my soul to Staples for some ink cartridges (I'm never ever going to purchase ink there again). I installed them today ( Read more... )

Last night I was watching the season premiere of The Bachelor in Paris. This show, like the others before it, has a strange appealing quality but at the same time is also very repulsive. It sucks you in -- you have your favorites and the people you don't like and the one you want to see win. But when I really think about it, the show has very ( Read more... )

So we get this newsletter in the mail today for the Cape Elizabeth Education Foundation or whatever.  I was skimming some of the articles on the computer lab they're planning on having, and I'm thinking to myself, I'm part of the last generation who learned math not using a computer.  We learned calculus by hand and we didn't need computers asking ( Read more... )

Today we had "off" so in the morning, I just bummed around and played God (Sim City 4 Deluxe) for awhile. It's cool -- I downloaded a couple maps of Portland - one of Portland, and one of the Greater Portland Area. I can see where I live! Once I start developing that portion of the region, I'm going to put the mayor's house there ( Read more... )

I've been really terrible at updating this thing recently. I have been "go, go, go!" since the first day of classes. This feeling of always rushing around has really gotten to me lately. I want to make this year about the people I hang out with and talk to, not the things I have to get done and the classes I need to take (although they are ( Read more... )

Home again. I've felt rather lifeless this evening - like I have no energy to do anything meaningful. It's probably because I really haven't spent time to speak of with God today (or for the past couple of days), but I haven't had the motivation to. That's my worst problem - I lack discipline. I sleep in too late in the morning, and by the time ( Read more... )
