A night of fun

My idea of a fun night has changed significantly in the last year, from a night out with a group laughing and reveling, to a simple chance to just get away from my work and walk with a friend.  Tonight I ditched my homework and decided to see what was happening at Emily's (which shall henceforth be referred to as The House, as I don't want to have to type out everyone's name who lives there).  Anyway, I went out to The House since I hadn't seen any of them in a while and arrived to find Ariel hanging out with Emily and her boyfriend.  I said hi to Tim and Igor and then settled in to watch some TV.  Emily and her boyfriend took off after a little bit, and I was left with Ariel.  We watched a bit more TV and then decided to head downtown and get some food.  We walked around for a while and ended up at Bel Frites, first time I've ever in been there actually.  We ended up talking for a couple hours as we walked and ate, and it was nice to actually get out and just relax with someone for a while.  Usually my nights and weekends are filled with work and stress and I forget how good it feels to just hang with people.
Really it's my fault, I take on so many projects and spend so much time in my apartment that it's hard for others to know my schedule and what's going on.  I'm going to try harder to actually get out, and to actually see people.  So if I show up randomly or start sending out a ton of messages, which I'm apt to do in the near future, just let me know if you want to join in.  And now that spring has begun I think I'll be doing some picnics and hiking, so be aware that I'll be sending some notices about those out soon.
Until next time, thanks to my friends for being there with me and helping me through the pile of shit I seem to be constantly wading through

The Lake Visit!

I’m up at the lake right now for lake visit 2.5 and imagine my surprise when I found out that we have internets! We’ve gotten most of the things we needed to do done today, and tomorrow we get to test the trackers and digipeaters. I thought I might have more to say, but suddenly I can’t think of what I wanted to say. Oh well I’ll write more tomorrow or monday after I get back.

Until Next Time, I really want to learn how to play the violin so I think this summer I’ll take some lessons

Fuck Yeah Wil Wheaton

Okay so maybe I’m the only one who loves keynotes enough to give this a Fuck Yeah title but still

Twitterfeed and Blogspot

Let’s be honest here, I used to love Twitterfeed. It was simple to use, and did everything behind the scenes, all I had to do was write an entry and leave it alone, but then it got all wonky and started to crash so I abandoned Blogspot in search of a site that would allow me to post to facebook and twitter automatically, that’s when I found TypePad. TypePad was like an oasis in the desert of blogs, it had everything I needed to post to everyone at once. But after a time I became weary of the lack of customization options offered to basic users and, unwilling to pay for my blogs, I decided to go in search of something new once more, I landed on WordPress, which is fantastic for provacy and keeping track of everything, but again has no free customization options. So now I’m updating across three different blogs, all with mostly the same content, in the hopes that I’ll be able to pull together some kind of unity in them all.

Until next time, I hope twitterfeed is working again, and I want to figure out how to sign these things automatically

Posting from MacJournal

In the last Macheist bundle I bought there were some pretty nice apps, my favorites being RapidWeaver, Tracks, Coverflow, and Tweetie, but now I’ve started opening up the others and seeing just what I can do with them, imagine my delight when I began to use MacJournal and found that I can write a single entry on my desktop and then just move it from blog to blog, it’s fantastic! That’s really all for now, but there’ll be more to come, especially now that I can write entries offline and then post them whenever, so rock on people.
