Joke of the week

You are on the bus when you suddenly realize … you need to fart. The music is really loud, so you time your farts with the beat. After a couple of songs, you start to feel better as you approach your stop. As you are leaving the bus, people are really staring you down, and that’s when you realize, you have been listening to your ipod.

Corrections and other computers musings

I wrote a post that I just realized had a typo in it. I wrote it 3 or 4 days ago. I happened to read through my blog and notice the error. I was bummed when I saw it because I didn’t catch it the first go round. Now I don’t know whether I should fix it or not. It’s just a spacing error but it’s driving me crazy.

I still haven’t figured out what the problem is with my home computer. I can’t pull up this blog on it at all. I keep getting 404 errors, no matter which page I try to pull up. I don’t know why it’s doing this or how to fix it. All I know is I cleaned my cache and deleted cookies and all heck broke loose!

At least I should have time to work on it this weekend.

I think I need a new computer

I couldn’t get on my blog all day yesterday. I went to my neighbors house and was able to pull the page right up. I thought that I had accidently deleted something important but apparently I haven’t. I’m having such problems with my computer in general. It runs slow and things that I’ve deleted keep showing up.

I still have to finish paying for school, then I need to get my car inspected. This is not a good time to have a major expenditure come up.

I don’t believe this

But I’m still sick! I’ve been sick for two weeks now. The first week was mainly just achy and feverish. This last week was yucky flu city. I had the coughing, watery eyes, runny nose. Basicall the whole nine yards. I had these crazy heart palpitations like I was running on one of those motorized treadmills that won’t let you stop. It’s been crazy. The worse part is that I still don’t have any chicken soup. I have had a ton of cold meds and orange juice galore. The good news is that I’m finally starting to feel better.

Now I feel like I need a few days off from work to just relax.

I should be happy the test is postponed

I’m not though. Now instead of my exam being on 4 weeks worth of information, there will be 6 weeks of information on the exam. Those 2 weeks don’t seem like they should make a difference but they do. Sometimes we have 2 or 3 chapters to read and now we have even more information to study for. The identification questions won’t be a problem but there will even be more concepts to choose the essay questions from.

Let’s face it, I have less time to surf the internet and watch tv. You do know the Oscar’s are coming on this weekend right? They give away the most awesome gift bags. The presenters get Audemars Piguet watches and all kinds of jewelry or electronics. I would go just for the cool swag. I also haven’t been able to check my email in almost a week. I had almost 700 emails to go through. Not to mention the fact that I haven’t been able to visit my favorite websites.

I only have about 10 weeks left until I’m done with school. I need to start counting down cause I can’t wait!

Hey girl!

I talked to my niece yesterday. We were on the phone for hours but she’s a typical teenager, she will talk for 5 minutes then space out for a few minutes. Rinse repeat ad-nauseum. It’s funny though because her father’s birthday was the other day and I was just thinking about her. It was good to hear her voice even though I can’t tell you what we really talked about.

I wish I wasn’t sick so I could have enjoyed the conversation even more. I hope I talk to her again soon. She’s growing up too darn fast!

I can’t be getting sick again

But darn it I think I am. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday and I feel even worse today. I went to the store and got some DayQuil which I’ve been taking since this morning. I also skipped class this evening. We were going to talk about our book and watch the dvd version of it in class. I’ll just go On Demand and find the film or either rent it from the store. I have a feeling that may be on next week’s midterm and I want to be prepared.

I hope I’m feeling better tomorrow.

Run Rihanna Run!

The big story from the weekend, besides A-Rod, is that Chris Brown was arrested for alledgedly assaulting his girlfriend Rihanna. The link takes you to the Fox News site but you can find the article all over the internet.

There is also a article on MediaTakeOut.com and a few other sources about him assaulting a South African actress. Apparently he asked her to come up to his room and grabbed her by the arm. Her manager had to come help her out. Now everybody deserves the benefit of the doubt but twice is a pattern.

Rihanna is much too young to be dealing with this. At 20 and at the height of her career, she should not be worrying about domestic violence. She needs to cut her losses and move on!

Balancing out my blog

I added a picture to my post the other day and I decided that I liked the way it looked. I will try to balance out more of my posts with pictures. Of course my jokes and Friday Five posts won’t have pictures. Or if I talk about something a little more abstract like linear motion then I won’t have a picture. But if the posts are about sports, singers or actors I’ll try to have a picture.

I think it gives my blog a little more character.

My Friday Five

Today my topic is - 5 things that are annoy me right now:

  1. Loud ignorant people. Sometimes I think people like to talk to hear themselves talk. I wish they would at least lower their voices and stop irritating everyone around them.
  2. People that ask really personal questions, but when you ask them a general question they get all secretive like the world might shut down. Get over yourself, I’m just trying to make conversation. I don’t really care!
  3. Weave. I don’t care if women wear weave or not. But at least make it look presentable. Don’t put a silky straight black ponytail on the top of a nappy head of brown hair. Yuck!
  4. All music sounding alike. I turn on the radio and I don’t know what’s playing because I think it’s something else. All of the musicians are starting to sound alike.
  5. Winter….I just wish it would be over already. Of course the end of winter means I’m closer to being done with school. I can definitely like with that.

Have a great weekend!
