Classes start in under a week, so now I’m getting like all nervous and stuff. Usually I’m very calm this time of the year, I am so planned and everything it just seems like it should be fine and smooth. I suppose my biggest problem this semester is I changed schedules around so much that […]

http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/we-feel-your-pain-and-were-sorry.html This event is only notable because it doens’t happen that often, but yet it happens all the time, just not to Google. Corporate email servers have problems all the time… academic email servers even more often (some have planned weekly outages of 4 hours or more). As I pointed out a week ago in […]
I am beginning to believe that all original ideas for products have been used. A few days ago I was thinking that it seems weird that my batteries are all giggling around loose in my camera bag. Today I received the latest edition of PC Photo magazine, and a few pages in was this odd, […]
Everything worked out this morning. The registrar received the new information this morning and was able to correctly transfer UNC’s ART390 (Special Topics Studio: Digital Photography) as NCCCS’s ART264 (Digital Photo I). I am quite relieved that the credit has transferred properly now.

I don’t know for certain how useful it would be, […]
Yesterday Chris’ aunt generated my astrological chart. The chart itself is more astronomy than astrology, it is the positioning of various celestial bodies at the time of my birth and their relative positions to the location of my birth. The astrology part comes with the "reading" of the chart, which is an interesting psychological event […]
This evening I tried my own attempt at making a chicken seasoning. I was going for something mildly spicy with a bit of a bite, but nothing too hot for my dinner guests (my parents and Chris). I overshot and ended up with something very spicy, but that was considered to be a good flavor […]

The note stated that the credit from UNC Chapel Hill could not be transferred because there was no equivalent course in the Gaston College catalog, even though I was assured by my dean that the course would transfer without […]
Summer classes are over and I’ve made enough ceramics to want to bowl myself into a corner… so what’s next for the summer? Figure drawing – I’m borrowing a book from the UNC library about figure drawing, so I think next week I will try some figure drawing exercises and at least get myself a […]
