I’m literally forcing myself to write this. I haven’t blogged in about two weeks, and while yes, things have happened, I either don’t feel like writing about it, don’t think anyone would care, or don’t want the whole world reading. Maybe I should start using that password-protecting feature. I don’t want to stop blogging — ’cause once I blog a few times a week I’m motivated for a bit — but once I reach a slow point, it’s hard to get started again. Meh.

Aside from the 2-hour plane delay due to weather and too much air traffic between DC and La Guardia, Thanksgiving has been good. Finished my 42-page book for art history during the flight. Just got done with dinner, where I had my new favorite dish: marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes. And now I’m stealing someone’s wi-fi in a Brooklyn apartment

No idea what we’re doing tomorrow … maybe shopping? Like I need to spend any more money, but we’ll see what I come across.

Whyyyy does The Sims keep freezing? No matter how many times I restart, or let my computer cool off, or download the latest driver for my display (which I did months ago, but I don’t think it helped) … The Sims hate me It worked a few days ago, but now I can’t play for more than 5 seconds and it’s annoying, especially since I don’t have anything to do tonight *sigh*

Edit: I got it to work, I just had to restart from scratch (i.e. delete the “EA Games” folder in My Documents) and lose my custom neighborhoods, families, etc. I actually think a file or two was corrupted — the “Caliente” family had been frozen for months.

Figured I should blog since it’s been over a week. Soo tired … did the whole late night/early morning thing. Glad it’s Thursday, though I’ll be happier once 6:15 rolls around. Also signed up for classes for next semester:

INDE 222: CAD I: Digital Design (MW 8 - 10:30 am) *sigh*
PHYS 121: Stars, Galaxies & Cosmology (MW 5:45 - 7 pm)
ART 354: Printmaking: Lithography (TTh 10:45 am - 1:15 pm)
MATH 103: Nature of Mathematics (TTh 2 - 3:15 pm)
GRPH 339: Web Design (TTh 4:15 - 6:45 pm)

So yay for no Friday classes again, and if I’m lucky I can find something to replace the 8 am that I can never seem to get away from. Which reminds me, need to change my major to studio art. And now it’s time to get ready for class …

We finally have the brand new iMac set up at work (mostly), and I get to use it! It’s so pretty and fast, and opening up Gmail and seeing AJAX instead of HTML was a wonderful thing, as was being able to install Firefox (unlike another certain computer). Now I’m installing the Adobe Creative Suite and wondering what I should write on my timesheet for the hours I’ll be spending customizing this thing (2 so far).

Yay. I have a hunch I’ll be wanting one of these for Christmas

I got this from one of the message boards I frequent, and just about died lol:
