post-thanksgiving break

I had a great break. The turkey was great and it was nice to spend some time with family.
Now I'm back at school, and there's a lot to get done. So I'm quite a bit more busy than I would like. and as an added bonus... I'm not sure where my id is... I'm hoping I just left it in the room. Oh well I'll find out soon...

really really strange dream...

It started with me, a couple friends from college, and my parents going to walmart... while we we there me and a friend were reading the news online with a laptop that was sitting on the cart. Then as we were leaving the police showed up, and I was arrested for pushing some guy, who apperently was paralyzed from the neck down because he hit his head on a rail when he fell. BUT I DIDN"T DO IT!!!
So... when the officer went to do the handcuffs I asked if they could at least do it in front of me, and not behind my back, which they were nice enough to do. Then I found out at the station that the guys name was Justin Timberlake... and my first thought was "Oh great, now I've got no chance..."
Luckily, I did have one piece of evidence, the laptop... because I had been busy browsing CNN while the guy got pushed. So then... after sleeping in the dorm room with handcuffs on, I went to court, where the evidence was turned into a video... and revolved aruond these characters--from a horror movie where they have no skin-- were talking about the weather...

Then I woke up.

And I'm glad I did... because not only was it one of the strangest dreams I've ever had, I really thought it was true. So I was really relieved that I didn't have handcuffs on...

Ball State

We went over to Ball State last night for a comedy show with Heather, Michelle, and Ed. It was nice to talk for a while... got to catch up a bit. Also Heather got her licsense plate! woot! She was "uber-excited" about that.

friday

Yesterday night I went to a free concert on campus, and it turned out to be pretty good. My main reason for going was that my neighbor was playing piano, but then also a friend was going too! We actually ended up hanging out for quite a while, which was nice since I hadn't really gotten to know her very well yet.
This morning I woke up to fresh coffee!! I enjoy the new coffee pot. The old one stopped working... like... you plug it in and get it ready... and push the on button... and it sits there...
No Good!
So I bought a new one and its got a timer, so now I can set it for the morning and have fresh coffee when I get up! w00t!

yesterday

yesterday was great... philosophy was cancelled so all I had was jog/walk at 10 (which as always was useless). So since I had no classes I had time to work on the database project for about 2-3 hours, go by mocha joes for a while, where I played pool and had an iced caramel macchiato. Besides all that the wheather yesterday was great, which made for a great day!

... as for today... its raining... a lot... oh well. I'm actually haveing a pretty good day anyway, however, today I'm trying to stay inside...

laptop...

It's coming along, The battery is working great, and I tried out the wireless card in windows XP, now all that I need to do is finish up the fedora core 2 installation and get the wireless card working with linux.
As far as classes go... the database project is due thursday and there is still a lot of work to do for it... so I'm gonna be nice and busy tomorrow...

rope lights

I've had an interesting day... it began when I got up... about 5 min before jog/walk and went over to the wellness center to waste a half hour of my life... after that it got better... Philosophy was interesting, and although I have no idea what is going on with our group prject in database that went suprisingly well.
I got the new battery for the thinkpad in the mail today, and it is charging up quite nicely, now all thats left is the wireless card... which I ordered yesterday, along with a new mouse and keyboard for the desktop from newegg.com.
Another fun thing about today was that my roommate didn't sleep last night... and he's pretty funny after about 30 hours without sleep...

p.s. I just realized that the this had absolutely nothing to do with rope lights... I'm not quite sure why thats the title... but I like it, so its going to stay

Bush

It looks like this elections is turning out ok...
