Okay, so I missed two days' worth of updating. The first night was because I fell asleep. I was rewatching "Andromeda Strain" with my parents, and I fell asleep somewhere during the third hour. The second night was because Jennifer had the computer upstairs, and I didn't really feel like going on the big computer because I like my laptop so much ( Read more... )

My mother almost got into a fist fight with our twelve-year-old lifeguard today. Well, all right, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but she was really upset with him. Sadly, she spent more time yelling to me about how much he sucked than actually yelling at him, which is really odd for her, but that's okay. We went down around eight to do a ( Read more... )

Today was a mixture of semi-interesting and extemely boring. Gillian came over for a little while to talk to Jennifer, and Janelle showed up a little before I left for work. I haven't seen her in quite some time, so that was all semi-interesting. Gillian showed me these funny LOST parodies involving Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Pirates of ( Read more... )

My parents got back from Las Vegas today. Apparently they were about five feet away from Roseanne.

I'm about a quarter of the way through Herman Hesse's Steppenwolf, a story about a lonely old man whose two halfs (man and wolf) are in constant battle with each other. There are a lot of good lines in it. I'm too lazy to go get the book, so I'll post ( Read more... )

I'm officially freaked out. My last package arrived today. I just got around to unpacking it about half an hour ago. The first thing I noticed was that all of my stuff seemed to be covered in this white powder. Then I noticed that there was some sort of instant cappuccino packet in there, so I assumed that was what was all over my stuff. I've never ( Read more... )

I'm watching a remake of "The Andromeda Strain" right now. My dad made me watch the original over winter break, and he told me about this version, so I figured I might as well watch it. There are a lot of cool people in it: Will from "Will and Grace," Jordan and Nurse Flowers from "Scrubs," Jin from "Lost" (and speaking English, no less!), and ( Read more... )

Today was my day off. I woke up early, drove my parents to the airport, and then went shopping for tofu. I bought other things, as well, but this was the first time I've ever bought tofu, and I didn't even know what I was looking for. It's rather gross to touch, and you have to wrap it around fifty paper towels to get all the water out of it. I'm ( Read more... )

 My first whole day of work was today. It was really hot most of the time, so that was rather unfortunate. The good news is that I saw Shawn for the first time since last summer. He called me a book nerd about five times in rather quick succession. Oh, and he made fun of me for going to Minnesota. And then Randall tried to irritate me by standing ( Read more... )

My first official day of work was today. I worked for three hours. The pool opened at 3, and it was closed at 3:10 due to thunder and remained that way until I left at 5:30. I talked to Ilsa and Patrick. Patrick's sort of creepy. He acts all macho and sexist, and then he turns around and acts like he's a great guy. There's just something odd with ( Read more... )

 Damn it. I just had most of this entry written, and then I hit something and it disappeared. I have got to stop doing that. Oh well. Now for the abridged version ( Read more... )
