We&#8217;ll have to do them tonight %)<\/p>\n<p>I walked up to the shopping plaza earlier today <lj-cut>because I got so annoyed with a notebook I have. I learn better when I write things down with a pen and paper, so when I&#8217;m learning new things I like to take notes in this way. The notebook I had was one of those ones that just has the paper glued to the spine, and much to my dismay, pages fall out quite often. It sucks. So I resolved to just get one of the spiral bound ones. I went to Staples and of course they only sell expensive ones, or cheap ones in a 6 pack. So I decided to buy a 3 pack of smallish ones. They are cute and college-ruled just like I want them to be. And since there are 3 of them I can use one for Perl, one for Zope, one for misc. other stuff. It&#8217;ll work out nicely. *hugs her new notebooks*<\/p>\n<p>While I was walking back from the shopping plaza I noticed a half deflated balloon on the ground. This reminded me of when I was in DC. We stopped at a McDonalds on our way to the meeting because we needed to use their bathroom (we drank coffee and soda on the way down). This was the first time I had been in a McDonalds in over a year, and I noticed there were balloons. The balloons had a McDonalds logo on one side and on the other it had a choking hazard warning. This is the same warning that I saw on the balloon while walking home this morning. Is this very common now? I didn&#8217;t think our species had gone that far into decline.<\/p>\n<p>I finished the Zope tutorial this afternoon. A lot of DTML stuff that I really have never been exposed to. I&#8217;m going to need to find some sort of DTML tutorial and at least get the basics down so I can tell what is Zope-specific and what is not. But the learning process is going slow and steady, I think I can get pretty good with it within a couple weeks if I keep working with it, I might need to play with it on a server with mail though, so I can test some of those features (one whole lesson dealt with mail). I can definately see why some people might want to use this.<\/p>\n<p>I watched the West Wing last night. On <a href=\"http:\/\/bravotv.com\">Bravo<\/a> they are playing all the episdes, and I just saw the season finale for season 2 last night. Wow. &#8220;Two Cathedrals&#8221; is right up there in my top 5 episodes. Not just because it makes me cry. They had some amazing scenes in there, even one I had seen before in a documentary about the show. Man, I love the West Wing. They are even going to be releasing it on DVD! Season one is set to be released on November 18th. Yeah, I think I&#8217;d have to say that The West Wing is one of my favorite shows ever.<\/p>\n<p>*wanders off*<\/p>\n<p><\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve now officially been in this relationship with Myk longer than I&#8217;ve ever been in any other romatic relationship (I had already long surpassed the longest time &#8220;happy in a relationship&#8221; mark). 2 years, 1 month, 1 day.
