MODify it

norah jones - love me tender

woke up late but had tons of fun at the staffer workshop. mod makes awesome magnets, so crafty! after, i wasted 3+ hours at pat&oscars eating/talking to jee & modestine. dang those two are so freaking funny my stomach hurt the whole time. plus, tomorrow is already wednesday! i LEAVE on friday! i have to wake up at 4am! and i only did my siddhartha journals, but i haven't read ANY books. (i read sidd last year but i have to reread it for the test). thank god i did my french homework or going to new york and doing all my work would totally blow. plus it doesn't help that i spend like 9 hours a day watching the olympics. doesn't matter what sport, i will watch it! i hate school. everyone else gets to start september 7th. we don't even get out earlier! BLAHHHHHHHHH! i hope women's gymnastics is on today. china is REALLY good, yellow teeth and all. at least they smile, unlike romania--too hardcore to look remotely emotional.

Simple Solutions Are Always The Best

Another slap on the forehead this morning. I'm starting to get a headache.

The Windows Server was erroring out during setup. It turns out that if you are going to run setup from floppy disks (the PC I'm using doesn't boot from DVD ROM), you have to copy the new txtsetup.sif file from the slipstreamed \I386 directory to Setup Floppy Disk #1. Hey, you live and you learn. I trashed quite a few DVDs because I thought there was a problem writing to them. So, the OS now installs with the SP3 files intact.

What The?

I'm having no end to problems with slipstreaming Windows Server. Errors are popping up all over the place, and I've created quite a few coasters in the process. I will figure this thing out, though. Oh, nothing for the job hunt, yet.

Jokes to make you smile!

1) I saw a fat woman wearing a sweatshirt with 'Guess' on it. I said 'Thyroid problem?'

2) When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised that The Lord doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me.

3) I've often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can't get my wife to go swimming.

4) I was doing some decorating, so I got out my step-ladder. I don't get on with my real ladder.

5) I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.

6) A cement mixer collided with a prison van on the Kingston Bypass.
Motorists are asked to be on the lookout for 16 hardened criminals.

7) Well I was bullied at school, called all kinds of different names.
But one day I turned to my bullies and said 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me', and it worked!From there on it was sticks and stones all the way.

8) My Dad used to say 'always fight fire with fire', which is probably why he got thrown out of the fire brigade.

9) S*x is like playing bridge: If you don't have a good partner, you better have a good hand.

10) I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said 'Are you going to help?' I said 'No, six should be enough.'

11) If we aren't supposed to eat animals, then why are they made out of meat?

12) I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.

13) You know that look women get when they want s*x? No, me neither
14) Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, such as working for a living.

15) I was the kid next door's imaginary friend.

16) Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before

Let them eat cake

Yesterday I had a rare Saturday night off (I've worked 11 out of the last 13 days--so much for working only part-time!) so I decided to go see Marie Antoinette. Even though the movie hasn't been getting a lot of positive reviews, I think it's still worth seeing on the big screen just to see all the food and cakes, as well as the lavish costumes and shoes.

Afterwards my husband and I went for dinner at Hermitage on Robson Street. Although I don't have any pictures, the meal was excellent. I started with the duck confit with white beans and salad and then followed it with the veal chop, a perfect medium rare. My husband had the seared foie gras with armagnac and grape sauce on toasted brioche followed by a main course of sweetbreads and kidneys in a bone marrow bordelaise sauce. We enjoyed the meal with a bottle of Mercurey 1er Cru 2001 pinot noir from Burgundy.

Show Me The Money

Today, I'll lighten our bank account by $950 when I pay for the classes I've taken to obtain an Associates Degree in Computer Information Systems-Network Specialist. I'm sure the account will be happy when it doesn't have to carry around all that extra weight. The Veteran's Administration representative at the school asked that I call her today to check on the advanced educational benefits which I applied for. I'm not going to hold my breath, because checks from the government are rarely on time.

News You Can Lose

I called the school's VA rep and, surprise, no benefits advance check has been sent. Go figure.
