spring '09 recap

2009-05-19T18:03:17Z

So, I finished with an A+,B+,B and C+. Sadly the C+ means I'll have to take it over again and will have a grueling 17 credit hour semester this fall. It's my own darn fault but there's no way I'm bombing that class two times in a row. Rowan is 5 months old yesterday. She's adorable and can roll over and push up a little on her stomach. No sign of teeth yet but my mother reckons she might be starting to teeth a little. Angie and I just think she likes to gnaw on stuff. Mal is funny as ever except when he's refusing to go to bed. He has his good days and his rotten days and we're worried about how many more rotten days he'll have once we add a Rowan Crib to his room. I'm trying not to stress to much about that however because I don't think we'll have the dough to buy said crib for at least a month. So that was Spring '09 at UNM. I liked my teachers. I think they liked me (to the extent that some of them knew me) and I look forward to Summer School. It's the only way I'm going to graduate in a reasonable amount of time.

Fictional Album created via meme
1. Go to Wikipedia and ask it for a random article. The title of the article you get is the name of your band.
2. Go to the Random Quotations Page. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page are the title of your album.
3. Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

This game

2008-10-09T07:22:56Z

I've started playing this game and I love it. It takes only a few minutes at a time to play but I find myself thinking about it all throughout the day.

up way to late :(

2008-10-04T08:48:07Z

I spend way to much time on facebook and lj. I need to just go to bed. Goodnight interwebs. Goodnight interweb friends.

Not dead just not journaling

2008-10-03T16:07:41Z

I've fallen out of the habit of writing about me. I don't do it on paper and I don't do it on LJ. For those of you who only keep touch through this medium, I'm sorry.

Life is actually treating me pretty well. I took the semester off from school and I'm working a little bit more in preparation for the baby girl we're expecting Christmas Day. Life is busy. Angie is taking a class with a lab and even though she opted for the one day a week lecture, it has been surprisingly complicated to arrange babysitting. I think we've managed to settle into a rhythm finally. I think hanging out may be limited to those who will be willing to come over to the apartment after Angie heads to work. That's about the only time when there's no conflict. Not that anyone has voiced an interest in hanging out recently. But that's ok too. It makes for a quieter more peaceful evening with the boy.

Hurray!

2008-06-27T15:48:50Z

It's official. Angie and I will be having another baby. We went to the doctor two days ago and everything looks good (Head, spine, two arms, two legs, matching number of hands and feet). Docter says she's 13 weeks and the due date is Christmas day. So hurray!

Family in town

2008-06-24T18:22:08Z

My sister in law and her husband are bringing their kids to stay with us for a few days. I'm super excited to see my niece and nephews. I'm just not sure where we're going to put them. We sorta fill the space on our own without any help. Oh well. I'm sure it will be just fine.

As I stare at LJ

2008-06-06T10:01:12Z

Why is it that all of my posts are time coded with my local time but all the comments to my posts are time coded with UTC? It really bothers me. Shouldn't I be able to force it to show them in my time zone?

Stoooopid Comcast guy

2008-06-05T17:04:56Z

So I had no internets for 3 days and it was all comcast's fault. When the guy came out to fix it yesterday he said "It was set up all retarded out there and I don't know why. I fixed it though" and then proceded to prove it by showing me a signal strength no less than 4 times stronger than the one my cable modem wasn't being able to connect with. "You shouldn't have any more problems with your internet and your connection speed will probably be faster now." Thanks internet dude. Why couldn't you have installed my service in the first place?

Seriously though, with the old set up, every time the splitter got to hot the resistance was sufficient to degrade the signal such that I had no connection. My quick fix was to switch which side of the 2-way splitter the TV came from with the internet side. Until Sunday that worked but I would have to do it at least once a week to maintain internet connectivity. I am extremely glad that that no longer seems necessary.

So it appears

2008-05-22T19:30:10Z

It appears that my recent effort to reintegrate myself into the LJ world has failed. Not for lack of desire, mind you, but for lack of effort. I just realized that I have only posted once this month prior to this post. This makes me sad. I will have to think of something to post about other than my posting habits.

Happy Mothers day!

2008-05-11T15:02:00Z

Happy Mothers day, everyone.

It has come to my attention recently that not everyone enjoys this day and to them I say "Humbug". These individuals tend to fall into one of two categories I'm told. Either they wish they were a mother and are not and are therefor resentful of those who are mothers. To these women (and men I may suppose) I would like to say that maybe you should take a moment out of your selfish life and remember that you have a mother of your own who brought you into this world and be grateful that she did. The other category contains all those who just don't get along with their mothers or whose mother was not a part of their family. I still think the spirit of the day is to set aside selfish thoughts in order to remember mothers and honor them if only for one day. Even if you don't get along particularly well with your mother, there is much to thank her for even if you don't like her. I realize that some people will read this and say "what about this situation" and I don't know about that situation. But while there may be some situations where honoring a particular mother is unwarranted, I feel that there are plenty of mothers out there who could use our love and support who, though they may not be our mothers, would still enjoy our pleasant thoughts this day.

Just some thoughts that occurred to me this week.

Birthday wrap up

2008-04-26T06:03:04Z

To the two friends who showed up to say hi and hang out: Thanks

To the two friends who called to let me know why they couldn't: Thanks

To the rest who said they'd "definitely come": you suck

ps. I got my bike today. We went with a cheap-o walmart bike in case I decide I don't really want to ride a bike I won't have wasted all kinds of money. Anyway we didn't think about how to get it home. I ended up riding the 5ish miles home as my first ride in nearly a decade. It didn't kill me so that's promising.

ugh

2008-04-23T08:10:28Z

I should not be awake now. Not even remotely so. But I can't help myself lately. I'm going to bed. Sweet dreams, internets.

It seems silly.

2008-04-19T05:54:55Z

I feel silly refering to going to bed at midnight as going to bed early but for me that's the case. I'm goin to be early tonight and I'm exhausted enough for it to be awesome.

I hate being awake this late. *Mleah* I always forget just how many birthdays cluster around my own. It's truly an amazing conglomeration of celebrations.
