No, I’m not that conceited. But you know what I really hate about using my laptop for extended periods of time? It gets really hot, which ends up overheating me as well. So then I have to take a little break and go outside to cool off, and I usually end up just setting the computer on the bed, which the manual says is bad, so I shouldn’t do it, but I always forget somehow. I tried using a lap pad/desk/whatever it’s called, but it’s just big, weird, and uncomfortable to sit around with. I need to find something else to do to keep this thing from getting so hot! Anyway, I need to go stand outside for a few, and I should probably shut down for the night anyway, ‘cause it’s getting really late.
Being an extremely broke college student, I’m always looking for ways to make money online. I was recently approved for Bloggerwave, a paid blogging site. If you have a blog, you can sign up on their site to write paid review, buzz, or opinion posts for them. I haven’t gotten a chance to do any other posts for them yet, but I’m always up for a little extra cash, and the site sounds promising.
I swung by Burger King today because we needed more Indiana Jones game pieces were hungry. The person next to me was trying to order a bacon ranch chicken sandwich or something like that. The manager told them, “No we don’t have that here….Oh! You must be thinking of Carl’s Jr. They have one and it’s really good!”
Today, at the gas station:
Customer: *hands the clerk a $20 bill*
Clerk: Which pump?
Customer: Number 7.
Clerk: There are only 4 pumps.
Customer: Oh..uhh…
I finally got around to upgrading my Wordpress install! Hurray. Not that it makes any difference to my readers, but what’s this strange feeling I have? It’s…of accomplishment.
Doesn’t seem to take much these days to get that feeling. Maybe I should have taken summer classes because I’m so incredibly bored with nothing to do. I need to find more stuff to post on Ebay.
It’s kind of funny, I own 4 different gaming consoles, and sometimes I don’t even play any games for months. Then I go through these little phases where I get really into a particular game. Right now it’s Okage: Shadow King, which I played last night for hours. Now I want to play MORE. More!! I’ve still never finished Star Ocean 2 or Star Ocean: Til The End of Time because I’ve been too into Soul Calibur 3 and Shadow King. That’s the really lame thing about going through these little phases: I never actually beat a game because I’ve already moved on to something else! I need to go get on the treadmill or something, but I think I’d rather turn on the PS2…
Does anyone else get mad at people for stuff they do in their dreams? My mom does it to my dad, I do it to Zack… Is this something that happens to other people too? Is is a female thing or does it just run in the family? Somehow it’s hard for me not to be angry even though I’m fully aware that it didn’t really happen. But I know it can’t be fun waking up next to someone who’s glaring at you for no apparent reason.
I never really gave gold much thought until Zack started metal detecting and collecting coins, and I started to get into coin collecting myself. I never thought about gold as an investment before. But not that we’ve been getting more into this hobby, I’ve been keeping track of the price of gold and the value of coins and such. We’ve been buying coins here and there, but I guess if we really wanted to take it to the next level we could start really investing in gold bullion or coins.
