Let's Go On A Hay Ride!

Today was a somewhat busy day. I worked on my mother's old desktop and got it working. I totally had to reformat the hard drive. I rebooted the computer several times to make sure it did work. The plan with the computer is to set me up a desktop at home. After that, I went out to Best Buy and Wal-Mart to get a few things I need to set the laptop up in my room. At Best Buy, I got a desk, speakers, and a wireless card. At Wal-Mart, I mainly got food and a few laundry hampers. What I need to do tomorrow is work on my bedroom some more.

For tonight, the Wesley Foundation was to go to Oatland Island for the annual Halloween Hike, but only Melissa and myself showed up. I took a few shots of the night. They are located in my Savannah Flickr Set. I had Melissa snap this shot of me on a hay ride. I haven't been on one in 19 years! I'm pretty certain that tonight's Mother Goose was my professor from my summer Ethics class. It was nice to get out of the house. Oatland made me feel like I was back in Girl Scouts camping.

I'm Not A Chef…

But I'm trying!

Tonight's dinner: homemade pizza.

"Lost In Another World (Far Away), Never Another Word (Till Today) / But What Can I Say?"

Yes, I know it a cheesy movie. However, it was on HBO a lot when I was a young child, so the movie is dear to my heart. I have it on DVD. I found the trailer on YouTube, which is also on the DVD I have. My Film History class has made me realize how classic the old days of movies were. I haven't put my finger on what it is that these movies have over today's movies.

Just thought I'd post this trailer.

"I Feel Stupid But It's Something That Comes And Goes"

How am I going to get a B in Calc this time? I'm back into my "I don't understand it" rut. I think I know it, but when it comes to doing the work, I don't. At least I made about 5 on today's quiz. I got the second question right, but totally blew the first one. I just hope I get an 80 on the test next week. I just need an 80 in that class. If I don't get it, a C wil do, but I can't get Honors credit for it. I'll have to hunt down another Honors class. Maybe I just should skip the Honors all together.

Finally, for today, the Thursday Threesome

Onesome: Sasquatch-- Big Foot? Yeti? "Harry and the Hendersons"? Maybe? No way? Sure, we have the entire family over for dinner every Thanksgiving? Whaddaya' think? I try not to think about Bigfoot.

Twosome: and Haunted-- It's All Hallow's Eve next week; are you haunted by little creatures in your neighborhood extorting goodies from you? ...and do you do your part to provide an entertaining experience for them? ...or do you lock the doors, kill the lights and hide from the horde? I don't know. It's still in the air. Probably hide since no one will be home when I home.

Threesome: Homeland-- ghosts and spectres: do you have any local stories of 'haunted' places. ...or are there roads you grandmother told you to never travel alone, especially when the moon is full? Just askin'... Dudes, they say the whole town is haunted!

"Among the Many / Can You Still Hear Me / Hear Me Asking / Where Do I Belong?"

Today in Film class we discussed The Seventh Seal. I really didn't need to see that movie. It was about blind faith and asking questions about God. I do that too many times, especially late at night, wondering about my mother. Is there a heaven? Am I too intellectual about God? Discussing the movie just made me more depressed. I told my professor it hit a little to close to home. On my way home, I kept thinking of Wesley lunch and the discussion about Elijah's flight to Horeb. At times, I wish I could have nothing but blind faith. It would make life easier.

My day was spent staying at home sleeping and doing family-related items. I need to get my dad's signature on my Bank of America accounts. I was going to pay a bill for him, but it wouldn't let me unless his name was on my account. So much for my being the helpful daughter.

On my way to school, I started dreaming about where to move after I get out of school. I still don't know where. I thought Nashville. Sometimes, I think Atlanta. Today, I was reminded of a time I wanted to live in Orlando. I don't know where to go. At least I'm sure it will be east of the Mississippi and south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Oh,as for those wondering why I don't update everyday, sometime, I just have nothing to say about my life. Other times, I'm extremely busy with my life. My life is just one big ebb and flow.

"My Time Has Yet To Come Until Then"

Today was a wacky day, but I made it through. My homework I completed yesterday for Client/Server was correct, then incorrect, then correct again. Someone brought food with red onions on it into the IT lounge the same time I was there. I started freaking out about "Did I put on deodorant," when I know I did. Not fun moments today. Oh, and I made a 5 on last Thursday's quiz. That was better than I expected. What else? I turned in my application and fees for Omicron Delta Kappa. And saw my friend Heather after not seing her for a few months. I survived the good and bad of today.

During Special Topics class today, I was using Flickr to show off the tag search feature. Shots of a belly dancer came up on screen. I loaded the pictures to see if they were pictures of Beth's friend, Leah. The guys thought I was nuts. Or secretly thinking I gay. No, I'm straight. Believe me. There are guys turning me on that I thought wouldn't have a few years ago. Very straight. I just didn't expect to see Leah's photos in my search.

My dad's new TV is here. It came yesterday. I knew it was coming. I was just told to tell me sisters we were getting a repair job and shock them with the bigger screen. Talk about HDTV! I can see the imperfections in the skin of the baseball players!

Brrrrr.

I wonder if fall is officially here. Today has been cold, for Savannah standards.

Wesley lunch was fine. We had hot dogs and real chili. Great for tonight. After class, I did some school work. Finished my Client/Server assignment and read some of my book for the book review in Film. In Film, we watched The Seventh Seal. Disturbing and very WTFish!
