July 29th, 2002 · No Comments

I rode in from my car on my Razor scooter today. It was pretty fun. I
bought the scooter last week, and it was quite the impulsive purchase,
I assure you. My sisters and I had gone to our local factory outlet
stores in search of new backpacks (my old one was 4 years old and
falling apart). After [...]

Further to previous post, I found a dowloadable version at gamehouse.com,
who makes the game. I’ll probably be downloading the trial version
tonight, if not the full $19.95 version. Go me!

Okay, I am completely addicted

July 25th, 2002 · No Comments

Okay, I am completely addicted to this. It’s getting quite
ridiculous, actually. I hope they make a dowloadable version soon. I
may even pay the registration fee on this one (I still haven’t for
Bejeweled, not from a want of thinking about it, rather, from a lack of
money).
It’s especially bad because on the higher levels, it involves almost
constant [...]

July 23rd, 2002 · No Comments

Now, I know that I just told everyone to go read all the Perry Mason
books, but I also need to put in a plug for David Eddings. Good stuff,
man. For all you fantasy fans out there who are dying until Harry
Potter 5 comes out, I heartily recommend David Eddings to help fill the
insaitiable need. The [...]

I need to get me one of these.
Or maybe the sticky-note pad.

July 22nd, 2002 · No Comments

Friday night, I had another wedding reception, this time for one of my
good friends from high school. Robert was also one of my brother’s good
friends, so we went together. It was. . . interesting. Not that the
decorations weren’t nice or the cake wasn’t pretty or anything, but
there was one slight problem that put a damper [...]

July 19th, 2002 · No Comments

I’ve hit bottom from my sugar high yesterday, I think. I’m more than
unusually tired. Of course, it’s probably my ongoing battle with the
CPAP machine. The other night I woke up at 3am, having ripped the mask
off and hung it on my bedpost without realizing it. The air was still
on, and it was blowing pretty loudly. [...]

July 18th, 2002 · No Comments

I’m really hyper from the donuts we had this morning at training.
Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. MMMMM. Everyone says the Kripsy
Kreme donuts are the best, but I disagree. Give me a chocolate
chocolate donut from Salt Lake Donut every time. Anyway, none of us
felt like working all day long, so we’ve sat at the desk and [...]

July 18th, 2002 · No Comments

Today we had a fire drill at the library. It was kind of nice, because
they pay us for the time we spend standing outside. It didn’t take too
long, and on the way back in I decided to take the elevator up to my
floor (I work on the 5th floor, which is actually only two floors [...]

Pinion pines. . .

July 16th, 2002 · 1 Comment

I just realized I’ve never explained my other pine-tree fetish: that of the Pinion Pine. Since I’m too tired to think of anything else to blog, I might as well, because who knows? Enquiring minds might just WANT to know. Although I doubt it.
Pinion Pines are the best smelling pine trees in the world. No, [...]
