So here's the story: I got a text message from Tim when he was away in Central America, saying something about him being swarmed by screaming cops. So I responded all concerned, but finished with "remind me to tell you the story about Rachel, Ryan and his bedroom" just because I didn't want the text message to sound like I cared or anything. He ( Read more... )

So I just found out that my DVD player plays DivX's. How did I not know this? I feel like an idiot considering I have a HUGE spindle of unused DVDs because I didn't see any point burning things if I was just going to watch it on my computer. I've been considering spending $400 on a PS3 or $150 on a machine that plays USB keys like the PS3 does. ( Read more... )

I'm already mostly packed and will be taking the train to c'ton tomorrow (Canada Day is overrated anyway). I'll come back to Hali if I get the job, if I don't I'll let Tim know he can try to get a ( Read more... )

So I just learned how to go on the internuts with my pod. I'm all proud even if it does autocorrect everything to the e ( Read more... )

So yesterday I hosted a BBQ at the house. Some of the ladies wanted to meet Tim and so talked me into inviting them over to the house. Fortunately for him, he was only around twice, once to turn the bbq on for me and another when he was heading off for a date ( Read more... )

So my computer is broken. Again. I cracked the screen a few weeks ago, and then last week the power cord stopped working. I have no battery power left either, and though you would think one of my roommates would have a laptop cord I could steal power from, they do not. I checked ( Read more... )

So I have finished my first year of grad school. One year left, and then I'll have my MLIS and have to get an actual career. Maybe I'll push that off a bit and try some traveling. Time to get passport ( Read more... )
