damn. when transferring files, i overwrote my firefox bookmark file. well…it’s a true rebuild lol. hate it when that happens.

on a lighter note, time for a new year’s eve celebration. put on your party hats, people!

…for all men to come to the aid of their country. i think that applies to the world too.

on a completely different note, this post actually is from my newly upgraded laptop. have i mentioned the boyfriend got me a rockin’ fast hard drive (for the laptop) for christmas? lollers.

speaking of lollers, i got fish this past weekend. 2 siamese fighting fish (scientifically known as betta splendens). i haven’t re-installed photoChop yet, so the pics are a little huge. the smaller, white one with red fins is the female–her name is lollers. the larger one with vibrant red fins is the male–his name is nigg0r.

so i’ve done quite a bit of reading up on caring for fish. i couldn’t keep the male and female in the same tank (which the boyfriend bought me for christmas–he rocks, y0!), so i took lollers to work in a large vase (no plants…just the fish). hopefully, i will learn better methods for taking pictures.

the male is extremely active. he’s very healthy. i’ve never seen such an active betta! so it’s quite enjoyable (zen, even!) to sit back, relax, and watch my fish…and perhaps ponder his perspective.

green tea is actually beneficial to your health! the only catch is you have to drink a good bit of it each day to reap the benefits…or so it is said.

Given all the evidence, it is probably safe to plan on drinking four to five cups of green tea per daily. If you’re a real devotee, by all means drink more; but whether or not you’ll derive added health benefits remains to be determined by further research.

man…that’s a lot of green tea. i think drinking that much water might have more benefits. it’s still interesting in theory though. it’s a better alternative as a caffeine intake (less caffeine than coffee, coke, etc.).

Note: this was not posted from my newly rebuilt laptop because by the time i got it rebuilt, i was too tired to share my elation with the speed of the new hard drive. my boyfriend rocks my world!

So today has been a bit productive… i’ve got a great design idea for this blog. when i get home, after wrapping a ton of presents, i’ll begin photoChopping and see what i can come up with. it’s gonna be cool.

…a long, lonely, boring day at work.

lego’s ultimate nba arena is today’s woot!

damn. as of 1/1/05, blockbuster won’t be charging late fees on anything. if you keep the rental 7+ days, they charge you for buying the rental. bet they’ll lose a ton of money doin’ that. i know they get at least $10-15 off my household alone in late fees.

been playing with some different colors and tweaks to this skin, but i’m not a big fan. maybe this weekend, i’ll get down and dirty and actually work on a full fledged design.

maybe… i want to, but there are so many things to do. not to mention the traditional family hopping required this weekend.

and i have to work tomorrow. the office is officially closed, but the IT dept has an “obligation to the business to have someone in the office” on days when anyone else is working. talk about scrooge. everyone else will have the day off…but not me and 2 other people who are coerced into working.

the only reason i volunteered is no one else would do it. i know that doesn’t obligate me, but i tend to pick up the things that no one else wants… my boss likes that i think. in a job, you do things you don’t want to sometimes. that’s why it’s called “work” and not “fun.”

but enough rambling…i’m going back to my web surfing and random working on this blog.

“i keep my passwords on a piece of paper on my desk and now i can’t find it”

“can you give me my password? it’s the e04 one…”

i wonder why security isn’t even a thought in many peoples’ minds…especially when you’re dealing with customer’s loan information (which includes highly sensitive personal information)!!!

so far, i have 2 As for this semester. the other 2 grades will likely be the same, but have not been posted yet.

“gratz I’m a senior!!”

some evidence that women must live longer than men (and why)!

alas, the time has come to host my own blog. no more livejournal. it was good to me, but it’s time to move on to greater things.

welcome in.
