Praise!

I just read an email I got this morning (while I was working) from the professor of the class I have tonight (that prohibits me from passing out candy) and she’s canceled class! Not because it’s Halloween today, but a cryptic “Sorry I can’t make it to class”. Also, the take home midterm and the [...]


Ram

no…not the animal!
I finally upgraded from 1gb to 2gb today and I’ve been needing it for sometime. I used to be running at about 50-80% of it doing normal stuff. I haven’t played around with it so much yet, but it’s reading at about 30% right now so I’m happy.
After taking 2 days off from [...]


Ukulele!

I’ve wanted one before but I wasn’t serious about it until I saw this being sold really cheap. So I though…why not? The chords are relatively easy to remember and since my music theory is pretty good, I’ve figure out how the chords work and why the chords look like the way they do (in [...]


Today

I chilled out.
I decided I needed a new wallpaper for my desktop, and so I started looking for nice widescreen wallpapers but nothing reeeally popped out…so I put together my own. I gathered lots of Audrey Hepburn pictures I liked and put it into a film reel…and then I put that onto a nice wallpaper [...]


m-flo loves Namie Amuro

ah…. m-flo
Probably the best hip-hop in Japanese music. I think I was introduced to them with m-flo loves melody’s “Miss You”. Anyhow, they have a lot of “featured” artists and instead of using “feat.”, they use “loves”, which is nice because they feature a lot of artists. In particular, I’m stuck on this song recently [...]


Rome

I watched the HBO series, Rome, last year. My dad had the good taste to buy the whole series on DVD. At first I was reluctant to get into it, but I am so glad I gave it a chance. This is probably the most excited I can get about politics…the betrayal, greed…deception. It’s great. [...]


Bad Air Quality

Yesterday and today, the district I’ve been working in has shut down it’s school due to the bad air quality we have around here. Since the wind has died down, the air isn’t moving around anywhere so it’s just of just settling. I haven’t been outside a lot lately, and so I don’t know what [...]


Kids These Days

Working is schools has been reeeeeally fun, reeeally busy…and leaves no time for myself with the schedule I have now. Here are two highlights.
I was in one class and I worked more closely with a group of boisterous boys on their math questions. Keeping them on track was a little tough, but it wasn’t too [...]


The fire affects…

me.
Not a lot. Just a little.
The sky was a lot better yesterday, but has gotten bad again today. That sun over here is red. That sounds like a line in a Japanese movie, but it’s true. It’s big and red. There is no blue sky, just grey haze, and it snows ash. The air has [...]


New Clothes

I was able to finally get new clothes today! Two shirts, same style different color, and nice khaki skinny pants. All from Old Navy so they were pretty cheap. The shirts are purple and grey. I’ve decided that purple is a good color for me. They are like button up henleys, but you can create [...]
