I’ve found myself gritting my teeth lately. This is not a good thing. It means I’m stressed. I hate being stressed. Hopefully it’s just a beginning-of-school-I’m-going-to-be-really-busy kind of a thing. I usually feel this way at the beginning of a semester; I look that my course load and all my syllabi and think “I am […]

Today has just been absolutely crazy. I work from 8-12, then have class from 1-5:30, then work again from 6-10. Although, I’m going to drop my 1:00 class. Not that I don’t think I’d like it; I would like it. It’s The English Novel, and the course is focusing on Gothic novels. It would have […]

So how do you like my attempt at school spirit? Since I’ve now moved back to Provo (school starts Tuesday), and we just won our first football game (42-21), and I needed to play around with the colors anyway, I thought I’d show a bit of loyalty. So there you have it, folks: a BYU […]

Okay, this is just way too funny. All the HP spoof posters on that site are good, but I must say that the “Planet of the Snapes” one has got to be the very best. Unless it’s the “Lord of the Snitch” one. . .

You will notice that my template has reverted to the original one. That is because #@(*% Blogger lost every single link, color, etc. from my template. I went in there to make a minor change, didn’t notice that all the HTML tags looked weird, and stupidly clicked on “save changes”. When I went to “view […]

My brother came home with a copy of Mozilla 1.1 today (actually, I guess that would be yesterday). I’ve been getting really sick of having my Netscape 4.7 crash on me. Dad has a copy of Netscape 6 that I could have loaded, but I have it on my laptop and am so far relatively […]
