so my uncle has been discharged from the hospital. he's going to spend a couple days with his family before going back for more tests, and hopefully a new alternative treatment. when he went in to see if his tumors had spread, or if there were more, on the 5th, they decided to just do surgery to remove half his liver. when they got in there, ( Read more... )

so my brothers went to texas and back in a week in order to get furniture for my mom from meema and peepa's house. i go through the trouble of making a collage, assuming that they were going to be chipping in (which was what was originally planned, it's not like i just did it without asking), and find out that they are considering going there and ( Read more... )

so i just finished taking my unix final, and i didn't do too well. some of the questions were worded strangely, and a couple were on the extra credit stuff, that we didn't go over in class, and i didn't see anything about when i did the reading. bah. assuming i did okay on the extra credit, i might still get an a in the class, but otherwise, i ( Read more... )

had this stupid necklace idea stuck in my head for days now, but i didn't have all the materials necessary to make it. finally caved today and made a large purchase online to get the rest of the materials that i needed, plus some other things, like stuff to make my mom something for her birthday. her birthday isn't for months, but she wanted ( Read more... )

so gidd got a new video card for his birthday yesterday. he and i had the same old video card, which works well for me, but he needed something better for his dual monitor for workness. my motherboard supports sli, so i took his old video card. mmmm, twice the goodness. glad i keep all the extra stuff that comes with a computer when i make them ( Read more... )

spent 2 hours on the phone with my mom this morning. sounds like she's going next tues/wed next week to texas, and that my brothers aren't going, either ( Read more... )

well, i dropped off my car yesterday at the shop. should be about a week before i can pick it up. turns out the damage wasn't huge or anything, but how i was hit means the parts have to be replaced instead of repaired -_-;;. the trunk door, for instance, has two layers only in that area, and they can't get the dent out of the outer layer because ( Read more... )
