Happy Anniversary or something.
Sometime in September two years ago I started keeping a blog. I can't tell what day for sure because my archives from September and October 2003 seem to have gotten corrupted or something, and I didn't start the LiveJournal mirror until October of that year. Maybe I should look into fixing that. I sure do bitch about writer's block less than I used to. It's not even that it's not still there. I just don't whine about it as much.
My English grade finally went into the system, and it's yet another 4.0 quarter for me! I feel like a bit of a lightweight doing that with only two classes, but I do work 40 hours a week on top of it. Next quarter I tackle PC Hardware and PC Applications 2!
I have three days off in a row this week, 'cause we get one holiday a month at work and today is mine. Usually it'd be used next week, on my birthday, but because of the days I'm taking off for BotCon at the end of next week it'll likely just be one of my normal days off. I assume I'll get my birthday off, because the lady doing the scheduling now was one of the people who called Mark out on telling people in the interview they got their birthdays off and then never actually scheduling them that way, 'cause in the interview he was mostly just reading from a list and that was on there. Tomorrow's a big social day, with comics and all, and Ron's gonna be around Thursday evening, but in between all that I plan to spend some more time with my puppies and see if the networking stuff we covered at the end of my PC OS class helps me with my Linux problems. Also, the Bootleg, which I extended the deadline on for a couple people because I needed more art to break up all the text stories I recieved and I blew the deadline to get them printed last weekend anyway. By the time I go back to work I intend to have a completely final PDF of it, and I'll probably go ahead and send that around to the contributors Thursday night. It'll go up on the site when I get back on Monday, so everybody who couldn't make it can print out their own copies. And we'll sign them for FREE.
I didn't even know until last night that the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy DVD was out today, but a walk to Target today remedied my aching lack of that. I realized a while back that I'd probably appreciate the soundtrack more once I had the DVD and had watched the movie a couple more times over. I know that made me appreciate the Shaun of the Dead soundtrack a little more, because I could more readily associate the instrumentals with their respective scenes. Of course, that one was a little lighter on the instrumentals...
I also realized that I don't really save any money by walking to Target rather than driving, because I inevitably duck into UDF or 7-11 for a Jones Soda or a Slurpee because it's kinda hot out. But I would rather that buck-fifty or so be going to them than to the gas companies, and it's not releasing toxins into the air.
Oh, and on the subject of birthdays, I forgot two other CDs I'd like: the latest from Death Cab for Cutie and the latest from New Order. Seriously, can't you see that last album cover being Graham's favorite album cover ever? It's plain white and just says "No" in big orange letters.
