"We are going to solve this problem with the simple and elegant solution of pulling a sledgehammer out of our bag." -Stuart Kurtz, 10/05/2005

So more good news: thanks to the assistance of one Christopher "case o' beer" Casebeer, I managed to throw everything from my old laptop onto this computer. 2G, 10 minutes. Beautiful. I even threw a firewall onto the laptop, so I could keep using it if I wanted. Huzzah!

It's not all good, though. I know didn't mention it before, but my grandfather died this weekend. I would urge all of you reading this who pray to do so for my grandmother, as well as his family. Those of you who, while not prayerful exactly, occaisionally indulge in well-wishing, you, too, may also feel free to practice your art.

And if either of you are in the mood, I also have a midterm today. Just throwing that out there.

Back to studying!

Tuesday
"I notice you have The Importance of Being Earnest". I don't know what that is, but I liked all the Ernest movies." -Brian, 11/01/2005

So you know what else makes me happy? Finding something you thought was lost forver. Especially two things. Happiness, go!

Now if only I had the money to buy those CDs....

Monday, Sixth Week

You know what's different about this entry? I'm typing it on my new computer.

Rock.

later that day
"I don't think I've ever read a really hot grammar book.... or moist." -Antonia Syson, 09/26/2005

It's here! Now I just need need an OS and maybe an ethernet port. Ha!

And the CD still rocks.

Monday, Fourth Week

"Makes me want to think about where I'm gonna be in a year / I don't want to think about it, 'cause it's happening right here."

I need to remember to listen to happy, uplifting music in the morning, not the self-pitying kind.

Sunday, Third Week
"To prevent anyone from seeing the greasy mayonnaise hair you got from putting mayonnaise in your hair." -Shaina, 09/08/2005

You know what would be awesome? Legal tender that, instead of having dead guys or buildings on it, feature pictures of Dinosaurs. Think of it: Anklyosaurus on the nickel (it would then be called an 'ankly'); T-Rex on the dollar bill. It would rock so hard.

Also, my new computer is still on its way. This is not my idea of three-day delivery. It's all the way to Rockford now, at least, so it should be here tomorrow. Huzzah!

Also, the retreat was awesome, the new Spill Canvas CD is awesome, and I <3 Leah. Or, to use the Polish notation, <3 I Leah.

I wonder how Geoff's banana bread is coming along?

Saturday before First Week

Agarmemnon!

I'm back! I'm happy! And I'm going to bed!

Well, I'm going to couch. You know what I unpacked first? Hats. Then explosives, then bath towels.

"God didn't invent pants, it was Levi Strauss!"
