I sit here now typing on my brand new Acer miniature notebook. I'm actually far more fond of the thing than I'd thought I would be -- at the time I was going for functionality and affordability; although it has no CD/DVD drive, my computer has a keyboard, Word, internet access, and a media player, so that's what counts. It's a sleek little blood ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in so long -- and even more sorry that this is doomed to be a brief update. I'm on a timed session on a public library computer and I have so much that I need to do in this one hour that it's impossible to do everything that I wanted to do on LJ, so here it is.

As I've said, I've gotten rid of my shit-tastic ( Read more... )

I've managed to get an mp3 of the Dollhouse theme song, called "What You Don't Know" by Jonatha Brooke. For those of you who don't know, Brooke is a wonderful singer/songwriter whose lovely bluesy vocals are quite well-known in the folk arena. Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans will recognize her voice as singing the hauntingly lovely "Inconsolable," ( Read more... )

Sorry that all's been quiet on the journal front lately, but I've had a lot of crap going on. I'm nearing graduating from this huge, life-consuming part of my education -- from there I only have six years or less left until I reach my ultimate goal, but still, I'm riding high on this accomplishment. I'm not going to have a huge graduation party or ( Read more... )

There, I said it! It's been a pretty crazy crunch this year -- I've got major projects due in two different classes, minor homework and review papers due in about two others, and then a gauntlet of exams to run before I get a chance to breathe. Then I'm getting a second job again in order to pay for next year, and I'll be switching to evening ( Read more... )

Wow, peeps -- it's been quite some time since you've heard from me last. I've had a shitload of crap to deal with since the last time you heard from me, and I'll get into that shortly. There's some stuff to celebrate and some stuff to mourn and some stuff to be pissed over, but I'll also tell you about Winter Song and the Passion of Angels and ( Read more... )

Hey, guys -- it's been a little while since I've given a good update, so here's a bit of situational for you. The first is school; I would be on the A-B honor roll save for Advanced French Language, which is keeping me down at a steady D-F, no matter how hard I seem to work on it. I'm dreading next year when I have to restart all those annoying ( Read more... )

You always forget how much your family drives you up the wall until you're stuffed in one house with a huge group of them for two days at a time. For the most part, I love my family, but after a while the religiously repressive individuals I get housed with tend to make me crazy. Usually I just plug in my headphones and go for a late-night run to ( Read more... )
