*From one of my recent entries, I was trying to decide what to do about this Fall. Well, I've decided to work 2 jobs (Target 1st shift, UPS 3rd shift) but not take any classes. It would be too hard to try to make up for the lost $$$ that Target caused by cutting payroll all Spring and most of the summer, as well as pay bills, pay for books, and go ( Read more... )

Well, I'm finally done with school obligations, so I can now focus on getting DCK music fine-tuned. And this weekend is HUGE for us: we go before the DCA (Drum Corps Associates) Evaluation board. Basically, they determine if: 1) we have the numbers to compete as a Class A drum corps (35+ members) or if we become a mini-corps; 2) we actually have ( Read more... )

I went to see S3 back on Wednesday- it was a decent movie. I liked it better than 2, not quite as much as 1. Good amount of action and a fairly decent storyline. My only complain is that it felt cramped; it could have been divided into 2 movies. "Spiderman 3.0" could haven been the story of Harry Osborne/New Goblin and his struggles with and ( Read more... )

Well, my left knee's been so-so the last few weeks: not too bad, but not (by ANY means) great. Recently it's been bad... but I've managed to block most of the pain out.

It was warm and 80+ degrees. I got a chance to throw a baseball around- something I hadn't done in a loooong time. I got to watch a great movie with J.R. and Jenny. I got most of my major errands done. Sometimes, it's the little things that can make an ordinary day turn great! :-D ( Read more... )

*After years of off-and-on browsing trips to the Zone (first with Puckett), I bought a comic book. "The Dark Tower" (based on Stephen King's series). I'll probably buy that series (7 books) but that may be it... maybe ( Read more... )

Looking back at December, I had decided to increase my availability at work from ~20 hours a week to ~38 hours a week. I thought I could balance that with early classes M-F (9:30-12:15 T and Th- now that I'm dropping my 8 AM Java class- and 10-11:50 M, W, and F). What I forgot to consider ( Read more... )
