Tidbits

Just some random thoughts and bits of info to cover from the last week or so.

- As nice as it is to have most of Monday and Wednesday free nearly every week, it's really a pain to get up at 8 am and drive to San Marcos and back for just one 50 minute long Spanish lecture. It takes every bit of restraint I have to not ditch it... lets see how long I can keep that up.

- Slowly but surely I've been fleshing out many of the pages on this site that have been under construction since the site has been online. Hopefully I'll get to posting updates sometime in the next week, if I feel like it.

- I wrote a short story called "Switchbacks". It's about a guy who is trying to impress a girl he likes while waiting in line for a roller coaster. I think it's okay right now, but I want to expand and improve it; I might post it here afterward.

- Labor Day was spent doing homework for the most part. I also got a chance to fix my sister's computer early in the afternoon. The thing had been sitting there broken for nearly six months, and had I not been putting off fixing it for so long, I would have realized that the problem was something simple a long time ago, meaning that my sisters would not have had to share my computer for so long. Whatever.

- I randomly had this sudden urge to reorganize everything on my computer desk and entertainment center in my room the other night, kind of as an excuse to throw a bunch of stuff out and tame the jungle of cables and wires under my desk. My workstation is now much more comfortable, and I have a nice, new place to stack my PC games. Which is a reminder of how many PC games I still want to but haven't played yet. Which is a reminder that I need to upgrade my computer. So that's probably going to happen soon (now that I am conveniently debt free.)

- Just recently I read through all of the Twilight books that everyone's been so excited about lately. As a whole, I thought the series was pretty well written, and it felt like there were a lot of things to relate to in the characters (things I may not want to admit.) I was kind of disappointed by the anticlimactic ending of the last book, though.

- Last night, I found myself randomly singing "Part of Your World" from the Little Mermaid in front of a class of 30 complete strangers as part of a performing arts workshop. Pretty scary. I also acted out a scene from the movie Mystery Men, but I played all the characters. All in all, it was really exciting. I was surprised by some of the comments that people liked my singing. That made me happy.

- And, finally, Lona introduced me to the world of Balloon Shop. Behold.
