Things that might be decidedly odd....
Without going into too much detail (it’s probably confidential or something anyways), I have to use a smart card reader to work from home. The problem is that the necessary software only works on Windows. Being that I have a Mac this is somewhat of a hassle. I have a dedicated Windows [...]
I finally got around to calling the mechanic today about making an appointment to get the headlight fixed and wiper blades replaced. These are the two outstanding issues on the car that I want taken car of before I can sell it. The guy said he’d have to order the part before I [...]
Today I woke up without much of a sore throat at all. My throat still feels kind of funny, but is definitely not painfully sore. The doctor’s office also called this afternoon to inform me that my throat swab came back negative for strep throat, so presumably it was some sort of virus. [...]
I only took a couple of random pictures while I was down in SoCal for Christmas.
Since I was staying in a hotel in the neighborhood where I grew up (until I was 11), I drove by my childhood home and took a picture of it:
The paint job on the place is pretty hideous (teal and [...]
This morning when I woke up on the futon (see the previous entry about the leak above my bed), I noticed that my throat didn’t hurt quite as bad as it has the last few days when I woke up. Still, I have a couple swollen lymph nodes and my throat (now not just [...]

A light meal was served and we opened gifts. We mostly sat around at chatted and watched old home movies. It [...]
Ugh, I just hooked my iPod up to my Powerbook in order to charge the iPod battery. iTunes decided to delete all the music already on the iPod and to sync to whatever I have the laptop (a small subset of my music). Without asking me at all. Stupid piece of junk [...]
I started off yesterday by finishing up all my last minute Christmas shopping. Saying all the places I went my reveal what gifts I gave, so I’ll just say I drove from Anaheim to Orange to San Clemente back to Orange to Pomona and then back to my hotel in Anaheim.
In San Clemente, I [...]
I got up early this morning to make sure I’d get to the airport with plenty of time before my flight. Usually at this time of year, any kind of line at the airport is extra long, mainly because of all the amateur travelers. Fortunately, SeaTac wasn’t particularly busy this morning, so I [...]
