>Everything should be a lot cooler now… there are now perma-links on every entry, they’ll always lead to the same place so if one so desires they can link to little tidbits instead of having to send a person to a broad destination. Ooooooooooooooooooooh I’m getting done with my operating systems class — 3 more classes + final. Yay! I was told that I needed to update, one of those updates being adding: “A Walk to Remember” to the movies page. I recommend it, and even if it looks like it might not be it: rent it, such a good…
>I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve been able to update. Balls to the wall with the music appreciation class, O/S class, training at work… and up until recently hadn’t slowed down on the partying. I just finished the report and midterm for my music appreciation so I’m only a few weeks behind now, but on track =] I’m trying to figure out a way to keep the blog @ 10 days at a time, with links to the week prior. I don’t really want a “archive” page to be the only way to navigate backwards. I should…
>I just woke up. I took a nap during lunch because I was falling asleep with my head on the desk. I went down to one of the break rooms, turned out the lights and curled up on a chair. I woke up, lifted my head from the desk. It was the training room upstairs, but it wasn’t. The room looked different, there were some people I recognized there, but there were also a lot of people coming into the room who I didn’t. Someone turned off the lights, everyone started yelling, I was walking around in the dark trying…
>I was curious about opening an eTrade acount, and because it requires an initial investment of $1000 – I did a bit of research. eTrade: What you should know first I received my XBox games: Splashdown **** – The water was incredible, it looks realistic, it moves realistically, and effects the movement of your sea-doo realistically. Burnout – **** – Racing through traffic is good, crashing is better — but it’s still bad! Superfast driving… Bruce Lee – ** – Play through the plot of a Bruce Lee movie. Tetris Worlds – ? – It’s Tetris, 4 player, everyone’s happy.…
>So I was notified that my credit card company was defunct: www.nextcard.com I was given the news by a friendly little notice from the FDIC in my mailbox. It stated the bank had failed, that nextcard was actually just a 3rd party to deal with the customers, and that the FDIC attempted to get someone to buy the accounts — to no avail. They said my credit rating would not be effected, and I was responsible for the remaining balance on my card. They said the card would be invalid as of July 10th, when I went to sleep I…
>I’m faced with an interesting dilemma:: I feel I know a little too much, like overhearing someone in the hall. I have a hint of something, and based on previous experience can say it will most likely come to pass. I’m not exactly sure what I want to say, how I’d say it, how I’d even approach it. I would want someone to say something to me… as long as it was the right person. I don’t seem to think I’m thought of as “the right person” in this particular case, though I’d like to be. I think this person…
>2nd day of Operating Systems P303> I know this stuff, I can type fast… it’s fun. I just had a houseful of beautiful young ladies… must be nice.

>Things look good regarding a new apartment… found a nice place: 3 floor, 5 bedroom, hardwood floors, front sunroom, big kitchen, 1 & 1/2 bathrooms. I’m waiting for the potential house-mates to verify, and should be moving as of August. (YAY!) I don’t fear change, I am quite comfortable… really. Tonight I start my class @ STCC, I’m still behind in my music appreciation class — and now I’ve got a very non-abstract class, should be a bit more straightforward: Operating Systems. It’s a prereq for programming, I can’t anticipate anything too out of the ordinary… at least – I’m…
>Happy 5th of July! Hit a nice raging party, yesterday — lots of fireworks, a good-sized keg… and too much machismo. I witnessed at least 3 fights, and many a hot-headed individual. It was enjoyable over-all, minus a few tense moments. If you’re stuck at work like I am, these fun little snippets should help keep you occupied: Knock knock jokes Aquariass SpiroGraph Hubble pictures Haikus New shipwreck found I haven’t been updating the news, I think I’m going to be a lot more selective. There was a lot of generic stories, and it’s not a quick little thing to…
>Take your IQ Test @ emode.com My results: Congratulations, Josh! Your IQ score is 133 This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on Emode’s Ultimate IQ test. I knew it, now kneel before Zod! ^-^ Zod says: Build your own backyard sanctuary. Look to these artifacts as examples of tributes! There is hope for the chestnut, yet. FARK is fun. You can defeat telemarketers, too.
>Well I just got the low down on why someone’s car alarm went off last night. 4 Spanish guys in bandannas hit my car to see if the alarm was armed… the beep set off the neighbor’s car right in front. The neighbors came out to see the 4 guys getting in a gray 89′-92′ Tempo and jetting. They told my 2nd floor neighbor this morning, and he told me. I went out to take a look at it and they called me over to talk. Apparently they’ve broken into 3 of their cars repeatedly… as well as mine, previously.…
>In this assignment, we had to choose a piece that was used so far in the course, and write a short description from the Referential listener’s point of view. Air from Suite No.3 in D by J. S. Bach from Basic Musical Concepts: “What Type of Listener Are You?” Referential: I’m particularly fond of violin as it is. This piece builds, and sweeps me away, being carried further by the harmonizing of the strings. It’s meant to relax, gives one an opportunity to think, remeniss. I’m immediately taken to past memories and images of nature, trees catching the breeze, and…
>Yesterday was a batch of bad news, one thing right after another: — computer shifted in the car, wouldn’t start when I first got there, reseated the motherboard and it worked — purchased front rotars instead of rears, they don’t sell rears @ www.tirerack.com but they don’t indicate that they’re one or the other, replaced the rear pads and brake lines – used the stock rotars, at least it doesn’t squeal anymore. — got home somewhat late, the person following me back from Sturbridge apparently didn’t know the way like I thought they did – they found my place eventually…
>Busy at work… busy out of work — I went to get my tooth fixed on Friday, my first experience with a dentist in quite some time. They were good, had it fixed lickity split… and looks better then before I chipped it :] I keep feeling it with my tongue though — knowing it’s artificial is somewhat strange, like a milestone in body improvement/replacement. What if my arm gets ripped off 20 years from now, will I just go and get a new one, better then the original? I’ll be honest and say I wouldn’t think twice about that…
>My laptop is getting fixed, I am 10 days late for getting online for my summer class @ STCC, my rear brakes are gone and squeaking like mad, I broke a tooth on a lollipop this morning… and a year’s passed since my department began — and we still haven’t gotten a raise. I’m just lumping the not-so-good news things, but it’s not all that bad. I needed to go to the dentist anyhow… haven’t gotten a cleaning in too long. It’s the end of the week, need to get motivation :] I have an invite to go to New…
>work: “…my mind’s on my bagel, and my bagel’s on my desk.” but I’m on the phone, holding — someone could pick up any minute. I must not touch the bagel, I musn’t think of it’s rich cream cheese packed between two poppyseed covered husks of bagel goodness. No… I can’t! … … … *chomp*. HAHA! I shall rebel… and keep holding. Can you take down the info instead of informing me every minute that your supervisor is still on the phone? She’s probably making an appointment to get the dog groomed. Damn poodle people, or maybe she’s got a…
>What a good party, I was pleasantly surprised at not having to wait in line — normally get my tickets ahead, but everything was so hectic today, never got around to it :] I met some really cool people @ Assylum this eve, so a big “hullo” to all that I met. I’m looking forward to getting some pictures emailed to me. A couple of which are of a young lady dancing with torches… really cool. It was crazy there, so much going on… 4 rooms of all different kinds of music, they staggered it well, I wandered from room…
>End of the week, spent pretty much the whole time at work doing data entry. Not bad, got some overtime here and there… could get more but I’d rather be out and sociable. There’s a party this weekend at Assylum: Oasis. It’s being held by Columns of Knowledge and looks like it’s going to be slammin. =] I was looking at their site today and found pictures from All Out Sunshine 3 – from back in 2000 (my first party). I’ll be getting tickets ahead of time, either tomarrow or Saturday, so if you’re interested in going: msg me. Had…
