Ah… the trials and tribulations of Ali, the perpetual out-dated technology user — well in this case that's who I am, surely. And my computer is starting to really really at least want to bite the dust — and while I guess there could be worse things, I truly do need a computer that's functional… Continue reading Posting from the University… since my internet disliked me last night…

Here's wishing a happy 2009 to one and all! So, December rolled to a most excellent end, with many philosophical discussions, ethical debates, catching up with ol' friends, getting to know newer ones better, and being rather busy in a most excellent way. I saw a number of movies, got spoiled at great restaurants and… Continue reading Happy New Years, Musings, and 2008 Memes

So Christmas is over for another year. And this means that I've had my dosage of Turkey (more than 3 dinners) and Ham for December. I got to munch on amazing squash, and so many other yummy vegetables. And of course I spent time with family. We opened gifts together and got things we all… Continue reading Post Christmas Reflections

So, as the temperatures continue to be ridiculously frigid, I venture more and more often out of my apartment (which honestly isn't as warm as I would like it to be. Mind you, I don't trust my internal thermometer, but the building hallway is SO MUCH warmer than my apartment, which I find rather strange).… Continue reading A Very Merry Christmas to you and you and yes, you!

So today I tried to start up Firefox. And it wouldn't start up properly. In fact that whole window just disappeared. And then the whole computer decided it wouldn't like me anymore — Ctrl Alt Delete didn't even bring up the appropriate screen. So I reset the computer, as it appeared to be frozen, but… Continue reading If my computer were human… it would be ancient…

So it's my Favorite Season of the year: yes, that's right, the Christmas/holiday season. And no, that doesn't mean I'm religious or anything (I'm not). I just happen to rather like the holiday season, and the Christmas music rocks (what can I say, I'm addicted), well at least most of it's pretty good (there's some… Continue reading Quick Holiday update

It is too cold. That is all.

Another semester of school is finished for me. Of course this one doesn't necessarily LEAD to anything, but it was highly educational/fun, and that counts for something, right? Regardless, I was rather pleased with the ease of completing my final exam. Also: I clearly have too many cookies. And they're not getting eaten terribly quickly.… Continue reading That was easy! 🙂

But I'm starting to annoy myself. Which likely means it's time to get off the computer. And since I'm all of a sudden working at 7am, I had better do so soon. Because it's important that I get sleep. Because I'm driving myself batty. If that wasn't bad, 'studying', which really isn't necessary for more… Continue reading So I'm typing a lot of these er LJ posts or something
