I have stock

Ha aha … ha …
I have stock! I just bought some stock! I can’t believe it! Me. Stock. I have some!
I just bought 20 shares of ATi. I’m not going to pretend I researched it to death and felt comfortable with the purchase, but here’s my rationale:
ATi, among other things, makes video graphics cards for [...]

Screwtape Letters

Have you read The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis?
If your religious at all … well, maybe just if you consider yourself a Christian (though people of other religions and faiths would benefit from it as well), you should read this book.
The book is a collection of fictional letters written from Screwtape, an administrative demon [...]

Peace of mind

I went to the temple yesterday. It was the first time I had ever really been by myself. Usually I go because the Ward is going, or because someone is going to get married, or go on a mission. Ever since the first time, I guess I never really went for me.
I didn’t see anyone [...]

Motion sickness

I’d like to think this is a form of sympathy pain. Jessica says she likes flying and doesn’t get motion sickness at all. I don’t mind flying. I even kinda like it (though I haven done it much), but my stomach can get a little shaken up at times. I’d like to think that maybe [...]

Throw pillows at it

I think housekeeping is playing some sort of sick joke on me.
You my remeber this blog, Wasted Pillow. I came home last night, got ready for bed, pulled back the covers and found this:

Yeah, there are 5 pillows on that bed. I didn’t need that. Not funny housekeeping.

Friends

I want to go home. I want to go back to California and stay at my parents’ place for a while and sleep. I want to go to Moreno Valley and spend days with Danny and April and Timmi and Candice and Donnie and Sal. I want to catch up with Daniel. I want to [...]

I am my own ISP

My laptop has a network cable plugged into that back of it. That cable travels under the desk and around the room to a 16 port hub. That hub has a network cable running out of it, up the wall, through the ceiling and down into the other room where it plugs into our satellite [...]

Twice in one night

I was feeling extra tired Saturday evening so I decided to stay in that night. I gave in to the urge to retrieve some food and then settled onto the couch to see what I could find on TV (despite the fact that I never find anything interesting on TV).
For some reason I stopped on [...]

Grand slam

Car doors have two stages of open. You know what I’m talking about. There’s “wide open” where the door is opened its widest. Depending on the engineering it could be almost perpendicular to the car. Then there’s that mystifying midpoint which I will call “half open”. I can only venture a guess about how “half [...]

Test drain

There are so many things I want to do…
Improve my web site.
Fully configure the online store I’m working on so I can launch it when/if ready.
Write in my journal.
Read my scriptures.
Scrapbook Texas.
Write more of “Shuffle”.
Brainstorm for a book to write.
But today, during my down time at work, I’ve done none of it. I sit down [...]
