Sooo True
This comic is soo true. First off...because my hard drive crashed, I do not have any mp3s at the moment. Itunes has become my main music player just for the fact that it found all the music everyone else and lets me play them. I can't copy them this way, but since I should be able to recover the data eventually, I dont really care about that right now. Itunes is online music done right (even if its not free). My descent into the world of apple continues.
Check it out:
www.apple.com/itunes
In other words, my powerbook shipped today, so I expect it Wednesday or so. Can't wait. Once the powerbook comes, I have to start recovering the hard drive, which will take a solid day or two to finish (I don't want to be computerless :D)
Ipod should be at apple getting repared (or better, replaced). Hopefully get that back soon as well.
Buy Apple Products!!

ITS LIKE I CAN ACTUALLY TOUCH YOU!!
Just got back from a long 3 days.Friday-
Spent most of Friday filling out a scholarship application. It is from Stow-Kiwanis-something and it awards $1000 to an aviation major who graduated from Stow High School and does community service. Thank you Service Learning! You finally come in handy! This should help with that damn medical fee and my flight insurance, should I get it. I think I am the only one who applied for it. This took me most of the day, and had me running back and forth across the entire campus like 5 times. Good thing 6 flags has put me in pretty good shape. I decided to go to the animation show with Jo, Yash, Will, and Tim after this, blowing off the anime club. I decided that it had been a long time since I had done something with them, so I would have fun there. Arriving at Jo's place was, let's say, less than welcoming. He completely ignored us for at least a half an hour. I know he was having a hard time with his dad on the phone, but he didn't even look at us, and we were right behind him the whole time. I was halfway on my way out the door to go back to kent as he hung up the phone. Oh well, time cures everything and we went out to the animation show (presented by Mike Judge and Don Hertzfeldt) at Case Western. Will brought his 12" Powerbook (the saem one I am looking at buying). Granted, it can't do directx, but it is one hell of a cool laptop. And it's virtually the only 12" laptop that has a built in dvdrom. So expect me to buy one later. The animation show was awesome, with fucking awesome and new Don Hertzfeldt movies. (You have to see them to understand the title of this post) And I'm making a wallpaper out of the flyer for the show. (See yesterdays post)
Damn! out of time, will update this post later

The thousand dollar day

Wearing out..
I didn't go to my physics class this morning. I tried to sleep in, which I haven't done in months. Missing the class today meant I missed turning in a large homework assignment, which I didn't even do. I couldn't sleep in though, because I woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep. I just laid in bed until it was too hot to stay. I might be too stressed out now. I'll admit it now. I've worked between 40 to 50 hours a week, even during school. I feel so tired all the time, but I can't go to sleep. I'm just in lingo and it's killing me inside, I can feel it now. I hate my classes. Every last one. Physics is every single day at 9:45 in the morning. When I'm in the class I understand everything, but when I try to do work on my own I get confused. Well, it's more like I don't know how to start. I try to make the problem more complicated than it is. Technical Writing is just a bullshit class. It tries to teach us how to write about technical aspects of things. I have to write papers about paper clips. It's all so very interesting. Macroeconomics is just boring. I have absolutely no interest in money. Sure, I enjoy making money and buying stuff, but I don't like money itself. Money corrupts people. It corrupted my family. That's all I will say on that. So I try to stay away from it as much as possible. I'd keep my money in a giant mattress if I could, but that's not the way the world works anymore. I don't work to make money, I don't even know why I work so hard anymore. Aviation Weather wouldn't be a bad class, but it's late at night, and everyone there seems so more advanced than me. My mom knows the directors of the program very well, so I've got a reputation to hold up, and it's destroying me. It wouldn't take me very long to get my license, but I hate that Commercail Aviation Company so much..they make me soo mad.Working at Six Flags is getting old, and it's hard to do with school. Vinnie and Chris have now gone back to school, so it's going to be either me or Mike Shteyngarts in charge of the Thriller area. I honestly don't know who they will pick, but if it isn't me I'm going to turn in my two weeks immediately.
Working at Resnet is fun, like always. I think I am much better at it this year, I think I am better at talking to the users. I was too shy last year, intimidated maybe. They all seemed to know everything and I was sometimes too shy to ask for help. This year I've tried to be nice to all the new hires so they won't feel that way. I hope I'm not being overbearing, but that so rarely happens. We've had a very busy opening year. Completely different than last year, but maybe equally as busy. Whereas last year was filled with resnet software problems, this year all the problems seem to be viruses. I like the way Kent has dealt with them more than Akron. KSU actually calls the users when we disable their ports, and we try to help them over the phone. Akron just disables them and waits for the users to bitch about it. Our way is much longer and harder on us, but it is better for them, I think.
The only other free time I have is taken up by the KSU Anime club on Friday nights. We haven't done hardly any advertising and we are getting 60+ people each night. Samantha and Eric are doing a lot of work towards the club, and as secretary, I want to help them. I've been trying to subtlely tell them, but they haven't asked yet. I love going out to eat with everyone afterwards, a tradition started by Yash and me. It's become a regular part of the club, so I feel I have contributed. Everything will turn out ok.
I apologize for typos as it is very late, and I promise to update some more, as Jo has recently been posting way more than I have :D
