.:reflections of twilight:.

Hello everyone! I’m typing this from my new computer (thank God for tax returns). My old laptop up and died on me due to the motherboard croaking, which is the same thing that happened to my mom’s computer, interestingly enough.

It’s an HP, like my other one, and it’s very nice and shiny. It’ll be nice to have when I start classes again in the fall. I still don’t know what my status is for my GA. I did get straight A’s in all of my classes though, so that was nice.

I need to get an enclosure for my old hard drive so that I can access my old pictures and music files that I wasn’t able to transfer before it quit on me.

Otherwise, not much is going on, except for me trying to keep myself busy over the summer until classes begin again. I’ve mostly been doing housework and the like since we’re down to one car and I can’t really go anywhere. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Mom and I did get to do a little bit of exploring over the weekend, and it was nice. We were trying to find some waterfalls, but we didn’t find any that were accessible, and we also got a little lost and ended up in North Carolina for a bit. We did get a few nice pictures of some more mountains and some interesting land features. One of the many things to enjoy about living here is the change in seasons and the land features Tennessee has to offer. You can see some of the pictures I’ve taken so far this summer here at my Flickr album.

I noticed that there was a change in the layout of LJ. It looks nice, but the one thing I don’t like about it is that it makes it harder for you to read your filtered Flist then the old format had. Hopefully, the bugs and kinks will be worked out before too long. I haven’t been able to find a client for my new computer (named Purple Onion due to the color), and I think maybe that’s why I’ve had problems with people seeing my posts is that there were issues with the client I used. Go figure.

I have a mammogram in the morning (my first), which means that I need to get up early in order to take mom to work so that I can have the car for the day. I also have a DEXA scan next month and a colonoscopy in early July. What a fun summer so far…

Yesterday was definitely better. I was given an assignment and left to my own devices. Basically I was making a catalogue of the types of strings we sell. My boss later told my mom that he thought it was something that would take at least a week, but I finished it in a day. He was very impressed (as he told my mom later at a church function that I didn't go to). But I'm pretty sure there will always be something for me to do.

My computer seems to be cooperating this morning. I'll see how far I get into my FL, though. My speakers are working again, to my enormous delight. I was watching something on Homestar Runner yesterday and I turned up my speaker button just on the off chance that I could actually hear the dialogue. And lo and behold, I could hear! It was a miracle!

I was able to catch the season finale replay of 'Everwood.' I saw the moment that made me squee. You know the one with Bright and Hannah towards the end. It was in my icon I used yesterday.

*squees again*

Sometimes having to go to bed earlier really bites. I was watching a movie on TV last night and because it was on later, I had to go to bed before it was over. I was pretty upset. I'll have to rent it sometime...
