Day 182

Nights in the desert certainly cool off quite nice. Last night, I slept with my window open and I was just fine. I didn’t even bother to turn on my ceiling fan. I don’t really like sleeping under the ceiling fan because I wake up with an extremely crusty nose and my skin feels really [...]


Day 181

I completely forgot to blog about the Lord’s Army knocking at my door yesterday. They are very consistent and persistent and whatever other words can be used to describe their desire to preach the gospel. I just finished the worst paper of my academic career. It’s pretty bad. I don’t care either. I’ve sat at [...]


Day 180

I spent the day working on my paper. I got more than half-way done so tomorrow I will be pretty much doing last minute touch ups. I don’t think the paper is good but it will get me a grade. It’s better to get a low grade rather than no grade at all. Nothing more [...]


Day 179

What’s in a name? I always wonder how people come up with the names for their children, especially black folk. For example, my cousin’s daughter just had a baby not too long ago. The baby’s name? Well, let’s just say it’s a name that will almost guarantee a permanent place in the unemployment line. In [...]


Day 178

How much money are you willing to lose to help someone in your family earn a commission? My mom wants to have her sister help with locating property to purchase. My aunt is slow as heck. I personally would rather just give my aunt $300 and go with a different realtor than possibly lose out [...]


Day 177

I’ve reached blogger burnout. I have nothing to say. I can’t believe I’m speechless. Well, I’m not completely speechless but if I don’t have anything nice to say, I’m going to do the world a favor and not say anything. I’m too nice today. I need to be a little mean-er. There was something I [...]


Day 176

I can’t wait to be done with school. There are so many things I want to do. The class I’m taking now is kicking my @ss. But I have five more classes after this one and them I’m done. I can do it. Five more classes. That’s 30 weeks, 33 if I count the weeks [...]


Day 175

“I’m glad you plan to pull your weight now that the storm has passed. If you were having issues, you should have posted to the learning team forum you were having issues and moved on to try to solve the next problem. Posting a wrong answer is better than not posting anything because at least [...]


Day 174

I hate being a tattle tale but I felt the need to squeal. I normally just suck it up and drive on but this is something I couldn’t let go. I’d go into detail, but when I think about it, the subject is rather boring. I’ve already forgotten about it. My weekend was spent working [...]


Day 173

My mom told me about how people can buy houses in Michigan for as little as $1,000. It seems like a good deal; however, I have to wonder how much of a dump the houses are in. Also, would I have to put money into the houses to make them livable? Anyone who has been [...]


Day 172

I’m losing my patience with people. I need to take a break. I think I will spend all day working on my school work. I’m going to get up early and work on it before it gets hot. That way I can spend the rest of the day relaxing. I noticed my mom is into [...]


Day 171

For the first time, I really don’t have much to write about. I got my performance evaluation at work. That’s all I’m gonna say. I’ve been thinking about Operation Dreamboat Body. I need to work on toning my bod, especially my mid area. I’ve got a bicycle tire. I want to get rid of it [...]


Day 170

I got my Buffy comics in the mail. They are beautiful! Apparently, Joss has been producing these comics since the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. According to one of the volumes of the comic I purchased over the weekend, Joss wrote Buffy comics which take place before Buffy arrived in Sunnydale. Figures. I’ve only see [...]


Day 169

I was going through some of my old files looking for another version of my resume when I came across my January Novel Writing Month (JANOWRIMO) files from 2006. I had started writing about how a woman who’s home is burglarized. The burglar took her laptop computer, which contained personal files. The burglar became obsessed [...]


Day 168

I’m livid. One member of the team was a no show/nonparticipant. If he had dropped the class, it would have been nice to know. I had to step in and write his section of the paper. Lucky for me, his section was much easier than my own. I have to do my homework on my [...]


Day 167

I called my dad today to wish him a Happy Father’s Day. I enjoyed his gift. There’s nothing like cash or an American Express gift card. He kept trying to convince me to take a break from my studies. My philosophy is to get it out of the way. I can take a break when [...]


Day 166

I discovered something totally amazing. I noticed Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, hasn’t been very active with producing. I went to amazon to see if they had updated Buffy the Vampire Slayer dvds because I hate the menus on my set of dvds. I want a PLAY ALL feature that will [...]


Day 165

About my lunch on Thursday. The guy who make me lunch is older than my mother! Or at least he looks it. I don’t understand why he ever thought I would have been interested in him. My mom’s boyfriend lives in Memphis, and he says that men in that area of the country usually date [...]


Day 164

I had planned on hitting the sack by 930pm but got distracted by my participation requirements for my class. I feel a heated discussion going on. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I had an interesting lunch. I don’t know why people (men) like to cook for me but they do. Someone [...]


Day 163

I decided a few months ago to completely remove dairy from my diet. I noticed even with Lactaid, if I drank too much of the lactose free milk, I would experience crapulous bowels. Well, I don’t have much to blog about. If I had a dollar for every time I wrote that I’d have a [...]


Day 162

I remember statistics being rather easy but I’m having a difficult time figuring out the equations. I’m given the equations but I’m not given what the definitions of the equations. How am I supposed to know what values to plug in if I don’t know what s or t or n are? It’s been 10 [...]


Day 161

The uneventful days are becoming too plentiful. I got a lot done but yet I didn’t. I did two loads of laundry and I washed my hair and I finished the assignment that was due. My back stopped hurting. I’m happy about that. Elevating my feet above my head helped a lot for some reason. [...]


Day 160

There are only two times of the year that I really enjoy: spring and fall.Springtime brings the flowers and warm weather. Fall, depending on where you live, brings the pretty reds, oranges, and golds from the change in color of the leaves. I don’t get to see the colors of Fall in California, especially in [...]


Day 159

I woke up today with a terrible backache. So I went back to sleep. I woke up with a terrible hate the world feeling so I went back to sleep. When I woke up for the fourth time, I felt much better. I decided to surf the net and go shopping. I hate spending money. [...]
