Okay, so you're all probably getting tired of me posting things asking for advice on different topics, but this one is something that I really don't know a whole lot about, and therefore can't make an educated decision.

I've been thinking about using iTunes to organize and listen to my music on my computer, instead of Windows Media Player.  Now, I ( Read more... )

"...your focus secure, and the loves you've left well, smiles staged in photographs, here until..."

100 more days...

Feels like an instant and an eternity.

We start really counting down, now...

*sigh*

So, yesterday at work, this lady comes out of the lab and into the office and tells me that my music is too loud and could I please turn it down because it's distracting her.  Now, that's fine.  I don't mind that.  Granted, I did not agree with her that my music was too loud, considering the fact that it was barely audible in the lab, but that's ( Read more... )

¿Dónde están mis pantalones?

Yes, I am learning Spanish.  No, I am not enjoying it.  I much prefer French, but seeing as I'm going to be living in areas with a high population of Spanish-speaking individuals for the rest of my life (Dallas, Texas and San Diego, California) I figure it would probably be a good idea to at least be conversational in it ( Read more... )

So, today, I get to do something that will probably result in me crying for hours... I get to take Ambellina to the Michigan Humane Society.  God (Goddess?  Vortex?  Fate?) willing, they'll say that she's healthy and put her up for adoption to a nice family.  They don't have a time limit on adoptable animals, so she'll stay up for adoption for as ( Read more... )

The best response to a command in a text-based game that I've ever seen:

And... we're patched. ;)

I woke up this morning feeling like I was dying.  I can't really feel my throat.  I'm not a happy thing.  I ended up calling in to work.  Now, I get to spend the day moving as much stuff as possible over to my parents' house.  If anyone was planning on hanging out at my house with me before I move, I think you're probably out of luck.  Today, I'm ( Read more... )

My day has not been great.  I woke up to my car being covered in a nice layer of ice.  I think that ice storms are beautiful, I just wish that they weren't cold and didn't keep me from being late to work.  I also am not fond of neighbors that think it's cute to come outside when you're scraping off your car and ask you "Are you having fun?"  No, ( Read more... )
