Macbook in possession, plus a trip to the mall

Published: 24 February 2007
Todd’s Macbook came! After I got off the phone with the manager, I called Todd and he called FedEx himself. He apparently got through to the local office, because they knew about his apartment requiring a key code and were familiar with the place. They got in contact with the driver, which [...]

my useless lab partner

Published: 25 February 2007
This semester has been very mixed for me so far. On one hand, I have professors like Dr. Dietz and Dr. Jaromczyk, who give excellent lectures and, so far, fair homeworks and tests. I also have professors like Dr. Douglas, who just reads off a Powerpoint presentation for lecture, but who seems to [...]

FedExSux article

Published: 26 February 2007
Dreamhost is reporting outages, which would explain 3till7.net not loading a few minutes ago and Bentley being unable to access it the other day. Here’s hoping it stays fixed. In other news, though, Dad sent me an email pointing me to an article he’d written about FedEx’s crappy service back in 2003 and [...]

Rails job offer and the perfect nerdy couple

Published: 27 February 2007
I feel so very tired right now. I was up at 8, had discrete math at 9:30, hit up the grocery for lunch for Todd and myself, went to algorithms, went to biology, went to work in the lab, got home and ate a snack, studied for two hours for my algorithms test on [...]

revolt

Published: 1 March 2007
I had an interesting dream this morning. I started out in an office building at some kind of luncheon. I got some coffee and then headed out into the hallway. I ran into my boyfriend, who also worked in that building, and we took the elevator together. We started to make [...]

4 animals I wouldn’t mind living with

Published: 2 March 2007
Let me add a clause to that: four animals I would not mind living with provided I had a big house with a yard. I’ve tried having a cat and a dog (at separate times) in an apartment with me and it just didn’t work out because I like quiet. However, if [...]

this new Virb thing

Published: 2 March 2007
So thanks to Jem I got invited to Mint Pages Forums and thanks to that I got a Virb invite from another forum member. I now have 14 remaining invites myself, so if you want one, tell me your email address and I’ll hook you up. I’ve been having a lot of fun [...]

Jello pudding and ferrets

Published: 4 March 2007
I discovered yesterday that being able to cook ribs, cheesecake, grilled tilapia, chicken pot pie, ginger cookies, and every other food I’ve attempted and done well at does not mean that one can fix Jello pudding. I needed one pie crust to make a chicken pot pie for tonight (which turned out just fine) [...]

web design and foreign neighbors

Published: 5 March 2007
Todd’s friend Steve does game and product reviews for Gamerz-Edge, which is in need of a new layout. Todd recommended me as a web designer to Nathan, who also works there, and Nathan and I spoke this morning. We’re going to meet on Friday to discuss me taking an existing design idea of [...]

Korean food and layout preview

Published: 7 March 2007
Night before last, Todd and I were hanging out at my place when there was a knock at the door. No one ever visits me that late at night so I didn’t know what to expect. It turned out to be my new Korean neighbors, Andy and Angie, and they’d brought food! [...]

Stormy layout up

Published: 8 March 2007
The new layout’s up! I tested it in Safari, Opera, and Firefox in OS X along with Firefox and IE 6 in Ubuntu. Please let me know if something looks funny in your particular browser; I’m particularly interested in how IE 7 renders everything, since I don’t have access to it. I’d [...]

the great pancake dilemma and chunky!Sarah

Published: 9 March 2007
I have a problem with gaging the amount of oil I need in a skillet. I’ve discovered, thanks to Todd’s dad, that I can use a lot to make fried eggs, because the eggs don’t care and you can just paper towel them to death later. I thought I might try that technique [...]

Spartans and the slippery Siamese

Published: 10 March 2007
Me and the guys went to see the late showing of The 300 last night and I have to say I really enjoyed it. When it started I was a little shaky, due to the glowing wolf eyes and the fact that every scene was a big action shot with big music, but I [...]

gonna get a ferret

Published: 11 March 2007
I’m getting a ferret. I’ve been thinking about it for about a week now, unlike my cat purchase which was a very spur-of-the-moment decision. I’ve talked to Eric about it since he used to own a few, read online, and today bought a book on them. Ferrets seem like a pretty common [...]

got a ferret

Published: 12 March 2007
His name’s Frank. :) He’s just your average sable ferret. I bought supplies for him first, which is good because it took a while to assemble his cage. Todd helped when he came home for lunch. We then hit up the pet store again and he helped me pick ol’ [...]

freedom anxiety and ferret photos

Published: 12 March 2007
You know, it just occurred to me that not only did I get all antsy like this whenever I bought a pet, but also when I would start dating someone new. Back in high school, I didn’t date much, partially because I thought my small school had slim pickings, but also because I tended [...]

changing a tire and watching the weasel

Published: 14 March 2007
I was packing things into my car last night for the trip home today when Angie came by. She complained about her boyfriend playing Internet games all the time, so she was going for a drive; apparently we have the same problem in both cultures, heh. She came up for a bit and [...]

cheating and ripping journals

Published: 15 March 2007
I thought Todd was cheating on me because he kept hanging out with three other girls. One was named Hope and looked like Lindsay Lohan, another was named Jessica and looked like a girl I knew in high school, and the other was named Jenny and was very bony with a horse face. [...]

other blog updates in sidebar

Just a quick update to note that last night I got the BPD RSS Aggregator plugin working, so now you can see my updates to both Mumble Ramble and Twitter in the sidebar below the Recent Comments section. Twitter is for posting mini blog entries of what I’m doing at any given moment, so [...]

magazines and angry Boots

Published: 17 March 2007
I was outside on a sunny day in a small, pretty neighborhood. A German man drove up in a truck and lifted out a stack of Insight magazines (which looked like Time with a different title). I was going to borrow them, and he wrote down my address so he could come pick [...]
