I woke up yesterday morning after less than 6 hours of sleep. That’s when I wrote that last journal entry and got the pictures off the camera. I’m quite sure I still had a bit of alcohol in me as well because I wasn’t thinking so fast, and I know that wasn’t simply because of […]

The party.
May 30th, 2004 by pleia2
Yesterday began pretty slow, I read for a while and I’m very close to being finished with Ender’s Shadow, which is turning out to be really great. It takes place parallel to Ender’s Game from the point of view of another character. I was worried they’re be a lot of annoying overlap of the story […]

antihistamines
May 29th, 2004 by pleia2
I have some seasonal allergies. I never had them while living in Maine, but when I moved away I started getting them. It’s not any fun, but since they aren’t particularly disabling I haven’t gone to the doctor for any sort of treatment. On days I feel all bogged down with congestion I take a […]

Playing with new software, remembering old friend, banning leeches.
May 28th, 2004 by pleia2
Yesterday I spent a bit of time cleaning the screens in about half the windows. Last night Michael helped me figure out how to remove the rest of the screens. It’s pretty annoying that the old windows in the house are much nicer and easier to maintain than the newer ones. The newer ones have […]

Fat full food
May 26th, 2004 by pleia2
I was in the grocery store on Sunday night to pick up a few things. One of the things I wanted was some yummie ice cream snacks, ice cream sandwiches maybe? I approached the freezer section and to my dismay saw a plethora of labels announcing: FAT FREE! LOW CARB! LOW CALORIES! DIET! WEIGHT WATCHERS! […]

Caligula eats books and things grow in my garden!
May 25th, 2004 by pleia2
Caligula hates books. I read quite a bit, and when I’m reading I’m not paying attention to him. A couple weeks ago he started attacking the corners of my books with his teeth while I was reading them, I had no trouble shooing him away. Last week I saw him jump in my bookcase and […]

Productive weekend.
May 24th, 2004 by pleia2
This past weekend was exhaustingly productive. We didn’t end up painting. It’s crazy how many little things need to be done before undertaking such a project, I keep finding more little spots that need spackling then I need to wait for it to dry, then sand it, respackle if needed. We just want to make […]

OSX at work, and Opera 7.5
May 22nd, 2004 by pleia2
At work I finally gave in. After much resistance and stubbornness my computer at work is running Windows 2000 server. I’m not proud of this, and it’s actually a bit depressing, but I really can’t deal with linux there anymore. Compatibility issues were just taking up too much time, and then I went into work […]

That’s not glue…
May 20th, 2004 by pleia2
When we first moved in we worked to get the basics cleaned in this house, quick top to bottom to make it livable for us. While I was cleaning the kitchen I took down one of the curtain rods to clean try and at least dust the top of the curtain. The curtain was stuck […]

Thoughts about my current place in life, spurred by and unexpected source…
May 19th, 2004 by pleia2
I tend to be a bit strange when it comes to books. I have trouble getting rid of them, and unless there is something especially vile about them, I am reluctant to even trade them in at a used book store. So sometimes there will be a book on my shelf that will just one […]
