Sooo I decided to start over with this thing. Just felt like it, I guess. I did start writing a bit in my journal and all, but I found that I was missing the feel of typing-whenever-I-feel-like-it, cause a lot of times I'd feel like I was in the mood of writing something but didn't have the energy to break out that pencil and physically put it down the hardcore way. Here it's easier for me to just type things out lazily, which is just what I need sometimes. But enough said.

Lately...

- My printer is annoying me. Half of the time I try to print something, my laptop freezes up (or maybe I should be mad at my lappie? No. Never.) for a good couple of minutes, and then in cases like this morning it printed pages 1+4 back to back followed by pages 2+3, which confused the heck out of me when I was trying to follow the lecture. First I had real page 1 labeled as page 2, then I changed it to page 1 but then had real page 4 labeled page 2 and had real pages 2 and 3 labeled pages 3 and 4 and so thought, "wait, it really printed them out the right way after all!"... until 5 minutes later when I consequently found out that pages 3 and 4 were in fact real pages 2 and 3 because the lecturer moved to the page I had labeled 2 at the end... GAAAAAGH.

- I am still steaming about that printer.

- Not to mention, that printer has this annoying tendency to randomly pull 2-3-4 pages in at once, which messes up the order when I'm trying to manually print pages double-sided and I had to play tug-of-war with the stupid thing to let my pages go, after which one or more pages are printed in the wrong order and I have to throw them away. I only didn't throw them away this morning because I was in a rush to get to class, although we were still late anyway cause we had to clean up the mess after the Frosted Flakes accidentally fell over Nathan. or around him.

- Lately my lappie's just been... failing me in general? Sometimes it just randomly freezes without warning- last time because I had accidently knocked the power cord just slightly off and all of a sudden it just decided to freeze on me like that. I wonder if it's just getting old in years.

- I am kinda-sorta craving Windows 7 right now (yay Berkeley EECS!) but I need that stupid Microsoft Office CD first. It's probably laying somewhere around at home right now...

- I am also craving a text adventure that I shouldn't be playing because I have a midterm and a project design spec due tomorrow. Recently I started playing this piece of interactive fiction (wiki it) called Anchorhead (wiki it also) that's supposed to be a work of Lovecraftian horror... I am intrigued. Although I haven't really experienced anything that I might call "Lovecraftian" yet besides the random crows staring at my husband (the character I'm playing is female) and a somewhat creepy text dream sequence.

- I am also craving to finish The Satanic Verses right now, which I also shouldn't be reading because of the said above. -_-

- I am ALSO craving to continue watching Higashi no Eden and Legend of the Galactic Heroes. And to start reading this manga called Sanctuary.

- " " " " " finish Gabriel Knight 1. and Sam and Max Hit the Road. and the Last Express. and Planescape: Torment. and Earthbound. and Flowers, Sun, and Rain.

- Pretty much, I never have time in my life to finish anything I start. The usual.

- I really like the fact that it's cloudy right now. I feel like I have greater affinity with gloomy days, followed by cool sunny days. Although we probably aren't going to be having the latter anytime soon; the forecast predicts that it's going to rain.

- "Extrospective???" Ryan Loong, you come up with the weirdest words.
