a nice weekend

they say ‘alls well that ends well.’ my only complaint about this weekend is that its almost over. ;P i wasn’t as productive as last weekend but thats OK. i think i’m going to be busy this next week; tomorrow i visit UW to attend a meeting for those interested in the PMP, tuesday i meet with my apartment manager to check out a studio. i’d like to go swimming at least twice this week, do some GRE study, nail at least one or two of priority 1 todo items, and completely clear out my bug queue at work.

poor diary -- often forgotten, rarely praised

I’ve had a good week so far. There have been some ups and downs but I think I’m making good progress on my bugs at work (even if they are the most of anybody). I’m sure it doesn’t look very good for me to have so many bugs. Once they’re fixed it isn’t so bad but right now its not so good. ;P Eriko is missing me and I’m missing her but we both know that neither of us can come running over; she has to figure out what she wants to do and I need to get my career moving.

a little frustrated

i didn’t go swimming tonight. why? i was enjoying talking to David. my frustration occurs because i can’t do everything i want, i have to make choices and live with them. where is the fun in that?

what a day!

I cleaned the house, washed the car, dealt with a broken server, went to an impromptu BBQ, and found out that my roommate is moving out. That last one just happened. ;P I had quite a few ideas of what to write in my diary before I was knocked into reality with the news. The funny thing is, I had the feeling that things were going to change. ;P I think its because I finally got my room into this really sweet layout and I had taken pride in the apartment and cleaned it.

gone with the wind

just like the original version of this diary entry, which dissappeared when my keyboard went wacky. kernel version 2.6 does not operate with my keyboard very well. freebsd 5.1 doesn’t have the problem, nor does linux 2.4.. anyway. i really enjoyed the movie. i was amazed to realize at the end how much i was drawn into the movie – and there weren’t any killer robots! today has been a very relaxing day.

my first successful oil change!

on the Miata. =) muchos gracias to Aaron and Fred for their assistance and tools. the next thing on my list is the brakes… i’ve having a really good weekend so far: my room reorganization is sweet! i made a desk using some slats from my futon bed and end tables. not so much a desk as a monitor holder; i can fit all three. this gives me a separate and distinct desk which has no computer.
