Tomorrow is graduation. Today we had the dress rehearsal in the graduation hall and after the end of the normal day we took down all the decorations from our main rooms. Threw out the last of the old books. Saw our students for the last time in the classroom. I'm filled with a quiet melancholy at this. I like my established pattern and everything ( Read more... )

1. I have not run out of times when I want to clutch my computer to myself in pure and exquisite glee. It's so fast and smooth and pretty, and the last twenty hours has shown me just how well the graphics card works on games. It is the first gift in many, many years that has made me act like a five year old child continuously. I love this computer ( Read more... )

I feel like when I pick a glamourkin (one of the lovely pieces made here by mermaiden andwillow_cabin) for the day it's almost like enacting a spell that's sitting in quiet wait for me. Today's pendant read "Be True to Peace" and I feel that wherever today went it's been rather the undercurrent to it all ( Read more... )

I finally decided to give Firefox 3 a chance. After an install which uncomfortably only three of my add-ons could make it through, FireFox3 proceeded to freeze. I turned off the prgram and restarted it. And once again. Then on someone else's advice I restarted my computer, followed by testing it again. Another freeze. Consectutive FF freeze, which ( Read more... )

Taurus: "An uninterrupted dream is like an unopened letter," says the Talmud. But professional dream researcher Stephen LaBerge thinks that's too broad a statement. In his book Lucid Dreaming, he says dreams are more like poems than letters. If you try to extract literal meanings from them in the service of your ego, they may reveal nothing. But if ( Read more... )

Solved another potential disaster from red tape with a maybe two week quick fix. Paid my various and sundries, my suitcase is laying out on my bed all packed. I have more dresses for this weekend than I've worn in months. Plus, I threw in my school girl costume, which I may wear Sunday if I can find an Ouran iron on crest during Friday or Saturday ( Read more... )

1. Dell is going to replace most of my computer before it's out of warranty at the rate we're going. Last month it was the LCD screen. Two week ago I traded out my cd player/burner. Last week it was the mother board. Today it was bottom plastics, keyboard/mouse pad, and finally a 90W adapater. The order placed today, for later this week or next, is ( Read more... )

Just kidding. I was reminded this morning, by way of a phone call, that I hadn't posted in a few days. Whereas usually my long time lj friends take this as a sign that things are stressful or there are vast happenings behind the scenes, really it's been quite and low around here. Just was rolling along with life and lines. Thus I will bringing you ( Read more... )

A few weeks ago, the last time when I was uploading files in Megaupload, my computer would freeze my firefox window once it finished ( Read more... )

I've been up for many hours, but my mornings stick with me these last few day. My dreams have had volatile emotions and I've startled awake from all manner of different things in the last few days. Friday's was desolation, Sunday morning it was embarrassment/shame, this morning it was rage. I know where the people came from if not always the ( Read more... )
