Sunny Days (1900 and counting)

"Sunny days, keeping the clouds away,
I think we're coming to a clearing and a brighter day.
So far away, still I think they say,
The wait will make the heart grow stronger,
Or fonder, I can't remember anyway..."
(Jars of Clay :: Sunny Days)

Jars are playing on my new toy. My 'toy', is my iPod. I like it. It's kinda amazing (maybe not to some, but at least to me) to be able to carry my entire music library around in something a third the size of my CD player.

Trying to earn credit hours for next semester involves taking a summer math class. Taking a summer math class to earn credit hours for next semester involves taking exams. Taking the exams for the summer math class to earn credit hours next semester involves not going on the Shack roadtrip. I was looking forward to that. It was going to be my vacational-type expierience for the summer. But I have an exam on one of the days we were planning to be gone, which cancels the trip out of my book. Rats.

I mowed the lawn today. I think I also watered the lawn with all of the sweat that was dripping off of me. Well, that's efffcient-this way, I don't have to water the lawn now ;-)

AHHH! Time alert! I need to be in bed.

4th of July

Yes, I worked today. But I got to hear fireworks, if that counts...

I mowed the lawn today, and finished right before it started to rain. Then I decided it'd be a good idea to trim the bushes. Oh, and the driveway needed to be power-sprayed. I ended up wet, sweaty, and dirty. Though I do love tropical-type weather.

The Incredibles and the not so talented

I just saw one of the best Disney movies since Toy Story tonight. The Incredibles! It was a really good movie. (I was about to say it was incredible, but that would be a really bad pun). I really enjoyed it. A well written plot, good characters. It came close to matching Toy Story (which is the best animated movie ever).

Class is finished...well, for the week at least. We have off for Independance Holidays. Unfortunately, I'll be working for it.

Today was kinda funny though. I was sitting in the camera office with another co-worker, watching a two guys who looked like they were getting ready to shoplift. One of the guys was wearing a baggy white shrit and baggy grayish-bluish shorts. As this guy is standing in the mens department, we watch (through CCTV) him lift up the edge of his shirt and slip a CD into his very loose waistband. He then lowers the shirt, and we see the CD slide down his leg and fall out the bottom of his shorts onto the floor. This freaks him out completely and he quickly walks away from the CD and leaves the store. Not the brightest theif out there. (How come we have the incompetent criminals? It was funny though, and we were laughing over it for a while).

My holiday

Someone asked me today if I'm doing something special for the upcoming holiday. Mmmm...not really. I'm going to sleep in, then I'm going to eat, do some random tasks, and then I'm going to go to work. I'm going to work night shift, then I'm going to come home and go back to bed so I can get up early the next day and work morning shift.

Not that I'm not thankful for any of our military personnel, or their service to our country. I am. It's just that I've got to work my self.

Speaking of bed, I should be heading that way.

Tomorrow is Sunday: church! Then work! Then church again! Fun times!

The beginning of the end

Cool fact: At midnight tonight (0000 hrs on 2 July 2005), 182.5 days will have passed in 2005, and 182.5 days are left. This is the midpoint of the year!

Ummm...my computer's battery is about to die. This is it for now.
