career thoughts- the night shift

Tonight my mind turned to jobs- not an unusual thing for me.  You could almost say it’s something I think about regularly, I guess, since my whole job revolves around “mini” jobs.
Anyway.  I’ve always thought that if I get a job outside the home, I would do very well in a night shift position.  I [...]

why I STILL love foreign cars

In the midst of all this Toyota insanity, I saw a piece on the news that said something like “all owners of foreign vehicles, particularly Toyotas and Hondas, are becoming concerned about the safety of their cars”.
This is so far from true it’s not even funny.  I drive a 1998 Honda Civic, and I LOVE [...]

dos emulator

Wa-hoo!  I was just able to run a DOS emulator on my computer, which allows me to run some of my favorite “classic” games, like Gold Rush!, The Colonel’s Bequest, and The Dagger of Amon-Ra.  I also have found that I can run many other games which I’ve never played before, but which I suspect [...]

college memories

One of these days I’m going to find my way back to my old college town.  I have friends living there now and one day we’ll go to a game or something together.
I’m very curious about my old apartment.  See, for the last two years of college, I lived in an old house, VERY close [...]

old games, new computer?

I’ve perked up a bit after a slice of cake and taking out my lenses.
Right now I’m doing some searches on some old games I owned long long ago, back when I ran my pc on DOS and Windows 3.1.  I had several games that I really loved, like Gold Rush!, The Colonel’s Bequest, or [...]

updates 2-26-2010

Be warned, I am guessing this probably won’t make much sense.
I’m quite tired tonight.  Yesterday turned into a crazy day- my best best friend, who happens to be pregnant, wound up in the emergency room with severe morning sickness.  So I spent several hours in the ER with her, until her husband was able to [...]

sleepy musings of a sleepy me

I would really like to get cable or satellite television.  It would be awfully nice to be able to watch the Discovery Channel, Science Channel, History Channel, that kind of thing.  I wonder if I could qualify for a commercial direct tv account, and I wonder if that direct tv business account could be deducted [...]

anniversary, tutoring, games

Crazy day (again). Today was my parents’ 37th anniversary. Since it’s Wednesday, we went to church tonight, and I surprised my parents with a yummy cake.
I spent my afternoon with my tutoring student. She’s moving right along in math, and now we are also working on her pre-chemistry homework. I could just throttle this pre-chem [...]

geeks rule!

In more ways than one!
A top U.S. bobsledder this year is also a “gold medal nerd”, A+ certified, a Microsoft Certified Professional, and a video gamer to boot!
Somehow this makes me a little more interested in bobsledding!
