Today my wife and I went to our monthly air-cooled VW meeting. The turnout wasn't very good this month, but I think that has to do with the weather getting crappy (it was raining and a little chilly). Those of us that did show up had a good time socializing.

I got the desktop computer back up and running this week after being down for...

It's been a really crazy week. For the first time in my college career I wasn't able to complete a homework assignment (at all). There was just too many things to accomplish this week and that particular class was supposed to be taught by a professor I've had before (and liked) but she got a job somewhere else and they hired this Chinese girl that...

Up to my neck in homework, trying to fix an infected computer for a customer, and dealing with a bad hard drive in one of my computers... Fun day!

Is it beer-thirty yet?

I must be getting old because 4 hours of sleep apparently doesn't go as far as it used to! Not that long ago I could stay up until 2 and get up at 6 and be fully alert. Having done that last night I find myself thinking "is it bed time yet?" Hopefully some unhealthy levels of caffeine will assist my alertness long enough to...

I got a call on my way to class this morning from the financial councilor assigned to my financial aid petition and he had a few questions and when we were done he said he was approving my petition. I'm super happy! The only thing is that next quarter I will only be able to get half-time unless I show them another class that is...

First day of Fall quarter classes and I'm already exhausted. Still no word on financial aid yet either. Hopefully that gets sorted out before October 8th when they start adding late fees and crap.

As for my classes.. I'm taking a 400-level history class on modern Middle East and two 200-level computer science classes (both programing). From the looks of things, all 3 classes are...

Fall quarter starts on Tuesday (two days) and I'm still jumping through hoops with the financial aid people!

If they give me a "no" answer tomorrow I can still change my class schedule: drop my CS classes and register for one history class. To just finish my major (history) and drop my minor I only need 10 more upper division classes total, one Middle East...

In order to continue receiving financial aid I for this next year (fall 2010 - spring 2011) I had to fill out a lot of paper work and petitions because I have too many credits for an undergrad. I jumped through all their hoops and got my major and minor departments to fill out and sign official evaluations, turned it all in with a personal...

DVD burn-fest tonight!

20 movies times 3 copies == 60 discs!

Ripped 10 movies yesterday and 10 today. Got 7 on the laptop and 13 on the desktop.

Oh.. and I think there was a few older rips on the desktop that I hadn't gotten my lazy ass around to burning yet, but I only have to do 1 copy of those... so maybe another...

The wife and I bought a new mattress the other day, but I had to max out the credit card to pay for it. I was hoping to make it until next year but the old bed was beyond shot and the final straw was when the box spring broke in a second spot and when you laid on the bed it kinda went into...

So I've been on "vacation" for 5 days now but have yet to actually relax. I've been very busy and to add to it my wife decided I can be the househusband for a few weeks until I go back to school. I guess that's fair, but damn it I just want a couple of days to decompress!

My new late night addition is playing...
