Yesterday I was chatting with Melissa on Y!M when I smelled something– burning isn’t the right word. It smelled like my dad using his sottering iron. I investigated and discovered that Ginny’s power cord was overheating. *sigh* The plug shorted out. Again. And this time, it melted the connector on my computer. Dad managed to get it charged just enough that I could check my e-mail and post this, but he’ll need to open it up and fix the melted connector for it to work properly.
I’m seriously considering taking out a student loan and investing in a new Dell. Ginny III it would be (since I still have Harry). I’ve just had so many problems with this one that I’m willing to spend a bit for something more reliable. I can’t afford to have my computer die in the middle of a paper.
Tonight my family went to a devotional at my Stake Center given by Ken Jennings. It was highly enjoyable. He’s a really, really funny guy. He started out by quoting 1 Corinthians 15:30: “And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?”

He cracked many a joke in the course of the evening. My favorite was when he was discussing how he had to study mixed drinks to have any chance of answering the Potent Potables categories, and in the midst of relating the anecdotes he gave two recipes for some cocktail or the other (which I can’t remember of course). He then quipped, “and that will be the first and last time you’ll ever hear two recipes for mixed drinks over a Mormon podium.”
Indeed.
Anyway, fun evening. Ken seems to be a really nice, humble guy who has his head on straight. Extremely cool that he’s in my stake. 
Batteries running out. See you soon.
