Hey. Went dancing last night

by | Sep 28, 2001 | Imported Entry

Hey. Went dancing last night with Lauren. Great fun as always. Except we weren’t doing one of my more favorite dances. One of Lauren’s roommates, Liisa, is the dance teacher’s pet. He went around the room and asked what everyone’s favorite dance was so he could start off with something everyone was familiar with. We all said Swing except for Liisa who likes ChaCha. Guess what the lesson was. Yup, ChaCha. It wasn’t all bad though, we picked up a few moves that we could use in swing anyways. So, that was fun.

After dancing, we stopped by the supermarket and picked up some ingredients for a snack that Lauren just learned how to make. They’re really good. Basically they’re super pigs in a blanket. You take some peperoni and cheese and roll’em up in cresent rolls. Very tasty.

Today I’ve got to shoot another roll of film and go downtown to the Bursars office and straiten some stuff out. Hopefully that won’t take very long cause I’m not feeling very good at the moment and would like to go back to bed. Oh well.

Lauren’s also going with her roommates to South Carolina tonight which leaves me all alone. I’ll probably find something to do, if only to sit here and play hockey against Jason.

3D class went well today.

3D class went well today. I turned in my wire sculpture and got a great idea for a “found objects” piece for next week. I’ll explain more if it works out. I also found the post office. This may not sound very interesting, but I had been looking for the damn thing for a month and was quite pleased with myself. I also gave Jason a bunch of software. It’ll probably take him a good day or so to get his computer to the point where its “fully loaded”. It’s still missing all those little things that you forget to install after a reformat or something, like Acrobat Reader, Direct X, stuff like that. Stuff that you won’t realize you forgot until it doesn’t work.

Anyway. Tonight is dancing. Yah! Lauren and I have been taking lessons for two years now, on and off, different styles. Mostly swing and latin dances though. It’s a lot of fun. If you didn’t know me you’d probably figure I’d never be able to dance a step in my life. I just love to surprise people. At any rate, tonight is more swing, my favorite. Later.

Wee! I just helped Jason

Wee! I just helped Jason put together his very first home-made PC. We haven’t powered it up yet, it’s break time first. Lets hope it doesn’t explode. We’re both idiots so there’s a very good chance of that happening (jk). Anyway, we’ve been ordering the parts all month and today the final piece came. Now comes the o’ so fun job of installing every piece of software on the planet. Joy. He’s opted to run Win98 instead of 2k and so I can’t make him a boot disk. This’ll be interesting.

In other randomness, I was able to get out and shoot some pictures today, but I need to shoot a lot more by Saturday. Ok, dinner and software time. Later.

Woot, my photo paper wasn’t

Woot, my photo paper wasn’t a complete loss after all. I was able to salvage a good 75% of the box. Yah! That solves a minor problem for the time being. I still need a source of income, and quick. At this point I’m no longer picky. A job, a shitty job, a good job, a loan, winning the lotto, anything, just something at this point. Arg. I hate not having money. Ok, well, Color Class is over and I’m in the lab upstairs, a few minutes away from finding out what I missed and will have to make up. Hopefully not much. Actually, that reminds me, I’ve got to run back downstairs and get another assignment out of my locker. Later.
