Well, in addition to buying speakers for my computer, replacing RAM for my computer, getting more USB ports for my computer, I also need to get a new mouse. My MS Intellimouse Explorer is kaput maybe. I think that the wires inside are frayed cause when I fiddle with the wire leading into the mouse, sometimes I can get the mouse to work. In a way, I’m glad that it is the mouse and not the motherboard. **sigh** Well, I might try to take it apart to see if I can fix it myself; or maybe I can have Suzannetake a look at it since she is an electrician and all. Otherwise it is $45 for a new mouse.
Was at the Aiptek Web site looking for Mac Drivers for my Web Cam. Aiptek are the guys that make the PenCam that Apriluses. Anyway, I was going to let Suzanne use it since I can’t really use it cause of the firewall on the network. So I was looking around the site and they had this photo gallery of celebrities that use the PenCam. Take a look at *Nsync. I guess it’s true what they say about all the boy bands being a bunch of paper cut outs.
Well Justin is out in the living room with his friend Teresa cooking dinner; or rather burning it. I swear, they (Justin and Matt) just burned the shit out of Casey’s George Foreman Grill. SO Matt got his dad to buy a new one. And now the house smells like smoke and I’m ready to place bets on when they have to buy a new one.

I don’t think that the St. John’s Wort is working. I want something stronger. Just something that will fuck me over big time. **sigh** I guess it’s a good think that I don’t really do drugs.
Where is my Grape Flavored Prozac when I need it?

So I am trying to put together a schedule for fall semester. I am getting a History Major, but I also want to get a minor, either in Asian Studies or in Asian Amer. Studies.
If I go for the Asian Amer. Studies, I would have to take 15 units and I would still be short 6 units. That’s not necessarily a problem, cause I could possibly take them at night. The thing is that I would have to take back to back classes from 10am until 2pm MWF and on Monday night, I would have a class from 7-10pm.
The problem with the Asian Studies Minor is that they are slowly phasing it out and they are not teaching the core classes that I need. I found substitutes for two of them that I could possibly float pass the head of the dept, but the last one, I can’t find anything close to it.
Added to this is the whole situation with the Warehouse Mgr. Position that is opening up. with these schedules, I would def. be part time; between 20 and 28. **sigh** that is def a point against me.
Oh yeah, the other thing is that I have to have 12 units to stay in the Villiage. I guess I could move out, but that would be a big hassle.
And damn my stupid mouse and computer. I don’t know why it won’t work. AAARRGGGHHH!!!!!
I’m just pissing and stressing myself off. I’m going to bed and try to forget about all of this.

First it was the bad memory that I gave it. So I took it out and am getting a replacement for it. Now the mouse doesn’t work. And I can’t get it to work using the PS/2 port or a USB port (it’s a MS Intellimouse Explorer). **sigh** so I have been pecking around the keyboard trying to remember keyboard commands.
**sigh** I think that I will just put some music on (if I can and goto sleep.
One good thing with this is that Justin won’t be able to use the computer anymore. Not that I mind, but it is annoying that he logs me out of Yahoo

One of the many fucked up dreams that I had was based on Kiss of thr Dragon that I saw eariler that day. In my dream, my friend Stephanie played the Bridget Fonda/prostitute character. I guess I was the Jet Li character. I remember a Martial Arts scene with Jesse Holm, Bo from Baskin Robbins, and Ivan Velasco, who is her ex and the father of her child. The wierd part was that after I had beat them up and they had kicked the shit out of me, I found out that Stephanie owed $250,000. So I suggested that she become a prostitute and I would be her pimp, so that she wouldn’t be abused (by Ivan) or get hooked up on drugs (by Jesse).
Def. a wierd dream. The lesson learned is to not to goto sleep after eating bad Chinese Food.

The rest of today was O. K. Spent the morning fiddling with my computer. I installed another 256MB RAM into it on Thursday and ever since, it has been crashing like crazy. Tomorrow I think that I will take it out and return it to the company for a new memory module.
When up to Antioch to see Suzanneand then we headed off to her Grandmother house for a little while. Then we went to Fairfield where we saw Kiss Of The Dragon with faeriequeen, joe_black, and convalescence. A bit too bloody for Suzanne’s taste, but it wasn’t a bad American attempt at a Hong Kong action flick. Afterwards, we went to the Rice Kitchen, were we talked about clowns and mimes (clowns are demons and mimes are clown assassins; silent and deadly), Trader Joe’s (it’s a gateway to Hell), Apple computers (**rolling my eyes**) among other things. The food was O. K. but the company def. made it better.
Anything else? Watching Babylon 5 has got me yearning for space combat, so I am starting to play X-Wing again. I never did destroy the Death Star, so I think I will be playing that for awhile. Then after, I can switch roles and play TIE Fighter. Or maybe I’ll play both. Hmmmmm
O. K. I need to take some pink stuff for the Chinese Food in my stomach and then I think that I will hit the sack.

Did anybody see the moon tonight? Comming home from Suzanne’s, I saw it in the sky hanging over the Vallajo/Benicia skyline. It seemed so close to the sky; like if I turned towards Hwy 80, I could reach out and grab it by time I was in Davis or Sacramento. But I decided to be the grownup that supposily I am and turned toward Hwy 24 and home.
But has I was driving on Hwy 24, going through the hills and valleys of Layfette and Orinda, I could see the moon, peeking over the hills and through the trees, begging me to run with it over the hills and through the valleys.
So I spead, which is usually impossible in the Metro, but tonight the Metro zoomed on the highway, weaving in and out of traffic, chasing the moon, always seemingly getting closer and closer.
I flew out of the Caldecott Tunnel and around the Oakland Hills, expecting to find the moon waiting for me. But has I came around that hill, I caught a fleeting glimpse of the moon, slowly falling asleep, pulling the thick San Francisco fog over it, like a fluffy down comforter.
**sigh**

I still haven’t finished my laundry. Poop. But at least I folded and put away the stuff that I did get done.
I really shouldn’t have sent the speakers up with the rest of the computer to my family. Just using headphones is O.K., but it’s just not going to be the same watching Escaflowne tomorrow with Suzanne. I have a headphone line splitter so we can either uses headphones and watch it here or goto Antioch and watch it on her IMac. Hmmm. It’ll be at least a month before I’ll have money saved up for the pair that I want. O.K. Actually, this is the system that I want, but they haven’t come out yet and I’m sure that they will be expensive. The other thing that I could do is buy this set now and then when I got some extra money, get another set so that I could do this
