Bullet wounds...

I just wrote a nice sized post and it is gone, lost to the eternity that is the temporary cache memory of my laptop. So, instead of re-writing it I'll paraphrase everything in bullets, like I am known to do.

-First off, my laptop stinks. It's now losing power at random and inopportune times. I'm wary of writing any assignemnts or doing any work on it because I don't want it to disappear in the blink of an eye. At the first opportunity, I'm going to get a new machine. I'm between a refurbished Dell and a new Apple iBook. I'm still weighing options.

-Secondly, school sucks. I'm so ready to be out of there for more than one reason. The subjects are boring, my classmates are cool (except for a couple whom I would like to murder), and the assignments are becoming blurs. I have two papers due on Wednesday and I really don't care. One is practically written already (an assignment for another class) and the other is on Hamlet; two papers that can and will write themselves as I am just an empty shell of a person.

-Third, the new job is going well. I don't understand much of what I'm editing but that's OK. I'm already through all of the manuals and I'm just waiting on word from the "higher-ups" before I'm proceed with the new formatting. Depending on when they want it all done I might not be around for a while. It's a big project and I'm excited to tackle it, if only for the paycheck. This weekend I worked 8 hours, which is $400 in my pocket.

-Finally, my diet hasn't been working. I weighed myself last night at the movie theater and I haven't lost a single pound. I thought I was doing so well but it turns out I was just fooling myself. It doesn't help that there wasn't a scale in the house that could weigh me. So, I went out and bought a scale that not only measure's weight but also how much fat I have. The results were less than surprising, which isn't good considering the results. So, not I have somewhere to begin and a tangible goal to work toward.

There are other things that are bugging me right now but ... bah!

You've been a great audience. Enjoy Judas Priest...
