Dream a little dream, ramha damha ding dong. Yea, ok.

Hmmm, what has it been… let me think. It has been for eve r since I wrote something negative. Though I have snipped, growled, and bit lightly a few times. Hey, muzzles only stop the teeth, not the intent or behavior, thus the muzzle. Doh! Anyway, I actually plan to keep this up. My writing has been boring and more of a personal journal. I think I would like to change that a bit. I am pretty sure I will continue to write my journal, yet I would like to add positive stories, interesting news, and offer educational links. This is a new concept, and I am not sure how involved it will be, so no promises regarding content or time.

I have heard nothing from my professor, though I did call later in the afternoon, on a Friday, and on the last day of finals. So, that was not a surprise. I have also not heard back about my registration. Again, and for the same reason, that is fine. I have not heard back from the lady I discussed. And, in truth, I am not chasing her. I would like to, but I know too little about her to start a form inquest, or whatever it is called. *laughs* We will see though, as I left an invitation for tea or coffee to personally discuss any ideas she might have about gaining an understanding of statistics. Hey, if nothing else, another math heavy friend is never a bad thing. And, if nothing else, I hope she agrees to meet with me for another reason. I am interested in the math she was working with. I actually have an artistic interest, and seeing it performed is much more valuable to me than seeing simple typed or type-set formulas. I also failed to call Vocational Rehabilitation Services, I simply could not find their number. I may have to call one of the college’s out-reach VA reps and get the main number that way.

I will be leaving, probably Monday, to visit my mother. I will be there for the rest of the month. I may or may not be able to blog. I am trying to figure out what to do with Rocky, my crawdad. I am hoping my neighbor might take him in for a bit. I thought about an automatic feeder, but that is problematic. If I had money and the time to investigate, it might be different. I will have to consider that notion for the future, but it is too late to consider now. At least Rocky does not seem to mind my absences. As a fact, I think the water cockroach prefers me gone, as he hides when I am home or at least when he sees me. Then again, being the mammalian Man Beast I am, it might just be shame if Rocky is a man-roach, or just frustrated urges if Rocky is a girl. He eats like a man, so I think of him that way.

Oh, there is a neat computer out. Asus produces it. It uses some variant of Linux (and I have heard it runs well, out of the box). It is cheap, at about $400 or $600, depending on which version you go with. It is said to be Win XP compatible (and comes with the necessary drivers for that). I am thinking of perhaps getting this and using it as my online service, while buying a monster Vista offline machine for games, math programs, office works, and business type applications. This thing, at the bottom rung, costs less than some blue-ray components or upgrades. I am also considering building my own system, again. I am not sure I would save a lot of money, as everything I save would probably be spent back into it. But it would be fun to do again. I would know my system (and what is on it and why), plus I would know I have the best components and the ones that I want. Of course, any machine I have looked at falls into the $3500 range, so I am a bit edgy about the whole thing. Do not even start that, $3500 DOLLARS you were about to say… Yes, and top of the line rigs can run $10,000 and more. Trust me, I looked… hehehe Even a Man Beast has to dream a little dream from time to time… (but cut that music in your head, I do not go that far!!! Ack!)
