T-minus 2 days until school resumes and I have little to show for my vacation. Bigger dents in the couch, a well-organized closet, and 3 books read. That would be about all I've accomplished. Seems the more time I have the less efficiently I use it. There's a lesson in that somewhere, but I'd rather not realize it right now. I think I'll take ( Read more... )

gordon_m, did you ever figure out what the problem was with the music detection for semagic? I can't seem to get it to work. The error message says: cocreate instance failed.

It's been a while since I've added new friends. I'm expanding my social circle, as it were.

I'm adding:
grammardog. I like her journal. She seems straightforward and without pretense. (Is that redundant? I don't think so.)
timberloop. Because I'm a sucker for a man with a good sense of humor.
hiraya. Because she intrigues me ( Read more... )

At heart there are few things that I crave. I don't really crave companionship or love, though I do at times feel lonely. I don't crave success, though I do want at least some recognition, and enough material things to get by. I don't crave solitude now, but did this summer when I was constantly surrounded by people. It's exhausting for me to ( Read more... )

I like Mondays. I really do. Sometimes my students are hell on Mondays, but believe me when I say that my patience has grown immensely since I started teaching. I've gotten better about taking their behavior in stride. Anyway, I think Mondays are wonderful. Not the groaning and getting out of bed part, or the 4 cups of coffee, but the chance ( Read more... )

Happy 2002! I hope that you all had a good time tonight, wherever you were. Here's hoping that you have someone to hold onto tonight. :) Best of luck in whatever you do or wherever you go in the new year.

Where is a free server that will let me upload pictures and link them from here? I am sick of geocities and angelfire not allowing image hosting.

I got a digital camera, and I have been having way too much fun with it. I didn't get a super-expensive one, just a mid-range PC camera. At its highest setting it takes 10 pics at 1.3 megapixel resolution, and loads at its lowest setting. It can also be set up as a webcam, so maybe one of these days you'll see me in my dorky glasses surfing the ( Read more... )

I am updating now from my new computer! Isn't that exciting? This is by far the biggest Christmas present that I have ever gotten. It's a compaq presario, 1.3 GHz or something, running windows XP (eh). It's fun, but I'm not used to the interface yet. I guess I'll get used to it. This is the first new computer thst I have ever had. My ( Read more... )

Thanks, puglover for the nice card! It was a nice surprise to pull it out of my mailbox ( Read more... )
