Posting from feldspar

OK, so, I got X working on feldspar. Compiz, for some reason, refuses to run and instead locks the whole computer. OK, well, Compiz + XFCE is a bit heavy for this computer anyway.. so I decided to finally give OpenBox a shot. It’s really fast, everything is up in no time and it’s amazingly customizable. I haven’t even started playing around with the scripts that other people have written yet. I think I’m gonna forgo Compiz + XFCE for OpenBox on Ophiuchus when he gets here.

I got the deal with newegg sorted out, newegg was still looking for my old card, but I had put in the details for my new card (the old one expires at the end of this month). He should be here tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday.

There are two cats here now. Black one is Uhura, the Orange one is Zoey. They hate each other. Orangey likes to rub up against everything in site, including me. She’ll rub her body along my legs while I’m cooking or washing the dishes, which is not the ideal time for such an activity. It’s really funny the way she leans her body when she does it, though. Also, she sheds like crazy. These two activities may or may not be related.

I just burned myself trying to light this candle with a standard bic lighter… ugh. Ow ow ow. I hope this doesn’t blister.

I was gonna write more but the cat and customizing OpenBox has distracted me so much I forgot what else I was gonna say.

Good night.

Posting from Wii

AndrAIa dead. Feldspar no X (few sites work well with links), flaky stolen wifi.

Ordered Ophiuchus. I hope. Money I need for rent.. newegg/Charter One constantly declining my card. Newegg claims C1’s fault; C1 newegg.

CMC still hasn’t approved resume. Cannot upload files (to monster.com) from Wii.

Dumb.

I miss Sarah.

Beans at Six

Assignment three for this class consists majorly of learning how to develop Java Beans and minorly of learning NetBeans and JSP. Once I figured out what I was doing, the first two parts were easy. The second two parts look to be as well, I just really wish to get to sleep right about now, but it looks like Sarah has taken the whole bed :/

Based on how I go about it, our one month is on Wednesday (the 29th to the 29th). Her point of view is that our one month is four weeks after the 29th of March. Either way, we ended up celebrating (I guess?) today (Saturday) because doing things on a Wednesday is just kinda lame, since there’s school all over the place during the week.

She was alerted to this ice cream place on the north side by the name of iCream by (a friend | TechNews | I don’t know for sure, I should pay more attention). The main reason we were eager to check it out was that they offer soy ice cream in addition to regular milk based ice cream. They also offer soy and regular based pudding, yogurt, and sorbet (dunno if the last two have soy variants?). Basically, you pick your base (ice cream, etc.), your flavorings (banana and vanilla for her, mint and vanilla for me), your toppings (she: blueberries, me: oreos), and the color you want (she got green, I forgot to ask for purple). Then you can watch them inject the flavoring extract into the liquid base, stick it in a mixing bowl, and LIQUID NITROGEN. Shit was delicious. Hers tasted like some sort of candy, mine was exactly what I expected, but that does not detract from it at all.

We came back and hung out in my room and watched Firefly and talked and stuff. When she started getting really sleepy I started working on my Java.

I really don’t like my writing style in this post. I blame it on general tiredness not having written in a while.

Besides some school stuff here and there.. life is fantastic.

Nicole and I move into the apartment in two weeks. That is going to be hectic and wonderful at the same time.

When did I last update? April 20th? Hawking got better.

Last real update? March 26th? Exactly one month ago? Damn.

I bought two new pairs of jeans at Target the other week. They’re both size 28/30, yet one is slightly looser than the other. They’re the same brand, even. These are the first pairs of pants that sit at my waist without the aid of a belt. I have always warn 30/30s in the past, often with a belt, but it was never really required. It feels better to just have them sit naturally at my waist, though. It’s weird, I like it. I also really really really like the cut of the jeans, the legs look and feel a lot better on me than my other jeans’ do. I think I’m finally starting to look decent with these new jeans and my small shirts (instead of baggy khakis and large shirts). I’ve heard several times that if one is skinny, one should wears clothes that show this, but not in a gross way (i.e. tight pants, skin-tight shirts). I like the direction my wardrobe is taking. It’s neat.
