Apple now produces two different iPod minis: a 4GB and a 6GB that are available in silver and slightly darker shades of green, pink, and blue (no more gold). The battery life has increased from 8 to 18 hours … and my favorite part is they matched the color of the icons on the click wheel to the color of the mini ![]()

Well, JMU has finally gotten our wish since the first flakes of snow fell months ago — a snow day! Sleeping in and missing art was nice, even though I wasn’t too tired … tomorrow would’ve been a better bet with my bio lab exam and all. And since the weather report is predicting warmer temperatures for Tuesday, I doubt we’ll get another day, but oh well. One is better than none … and who knows, maybe we’ll get a late opening
My spring break starts this weekend (which means I need to call Randstad). How is it almost March?
LOL … the term “foxcroft girls” is in Urban Dictionary — that’s funny. I wonder who took the time to actually write the definitions.

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1 has been released — go get it! You can check out what’s new/changed in the release notes.
In other news, I got an unusual fortune cookie at lunch: “There is no rose without a thorn.”

And will continue snowing throughout the night, which will definitely leave me with a three-day weekend if I’m lucky. If I’m even more lucky, we’ll get a snow day or two next week if an even bigger storm hits. So yay
What’s not yay is that I had to drive to the library tonight to meet with my bio group (which lasted all of 2 minutes), and was a half hour late since shoving snow off my car took 15 minutes, crashing into a curb took a good 5 (I got out to make sure I didn’t have a flat tire like before), and then drove about 10 mph the rest of the way. Ugh, it sucked, and coming back still had me sliding around. Stupid non-snow tires. And what’s weird is that tomorrow’s supposed to be like 50.
Edit: Well, school’s not closed, and neither is Mason. Bah.

I hereby label this week (starting today) as hell week. I have two days to make flashcards and write 3 “solid” essays to prepare for my art history exam, which will suck since class hasn’t met since the 10th and we went through so much material today that my head wanted to explode. I have an art project due tomorrow that I haven’t started, plus a practical exam (for lab), a lab report, and a homework sheet due Tuesday (the end of hell week). Not to mention the next computer graphics project (also due Tuesday) and whatever new project I get assigned in art tomorrow *sigh* Maybe I shouldn’t go home this weekend.
Speaking of lab, we dissected sharks today and one of them was a female and had like 5 eggs (a little smaller than chicken eggs) and two fetuses about 6 inches long inside her. It was interesting. And these things were big … about 2 1/2 feet long and kept in spackle buckets. One of the guys even cut his finger on a tooth.
I should transfer to the University of Michigan … getting $100 for keeping my room clean would be the easiest $100 I ever made.

It’s thunderstorming. Yay.
I’m still really tired even though I skipped art this morning and slept ’til 11:30 (after going to bed at 12:30). I don’t understand :confused: At least I made it to my bio exam…hopefully with more questions this time I’ll do better… *crosses fingers*
Installed two more plugins today: Backup/Restore (self-explanatory) and Bot Check (my favorite captcha for comment spam). I also just figured out that “captcha” is the acronym for the following long string of words:
completely
automated
public
Turing test to tell
computers and
humans
apart
Edit: Score … I didn’t fail my bio exam. A 75 isn’t the greatest, but it’s better than a 59.

I won a free song from iTunes with the Diet Pepsi I bought Friday. This being the second iTunes Pepsi I’ve ever bought, it’s cool how I’ve won both times — hopefully the pattern will continue
Now, what to spend it on … “Passive” by A Perfect Circle sounds good.
Saw Constantine today. It was good, I liked the whole going back and forth between hell and reality (and special effects) … but it was also on the long side for me (2 hours) since my head started randomly hurting halfway through
Eh, oh well … that’s why there’s Advil.
Upgraded weirdncrazy.com to WordPress 1.5 earlier. Luckily it wasn’t the nightmare I’d expected since I’d done all the hard work with this site, so it only took about an hour. Yay. Though I still have Hanson-related updates to add. The question is … should I do that, study, or watch TV that I actually like for the remained of the evening … I think the latter will win.
