Please wait while files are installing ....
*sigh*
I'm stuck in a lab installing software that takes much longer than I want it too. On the plus side, the instructor brought me the software TODAY that he needs installed by TONIGHT, so you know, that gives me a lot of time to get it done seeing as how there was a class in said lab until 3:30.
*sigh*
Otherwise, things are okay. I leave for a Microsoft Sharepoint Conference in Redneck Central ... I mean Nashville, TN next week. Looking forward to going to a conference at a hotel that has an Irish pub in it? Oh yeah! Looking forward to being away from my SuperK for 3 nights? Not so much. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to be at this conference during both the Superbowl and Mardi Gras. Seeing as how I usually throw a shindig for Superbowl, this has me bummed. I'll deal.
We recently got one of these for our house and play room, which is awesome. http://www.poofchairs.com/King-Foof-Cha
In really fun and exciting news, my K (who bought this for me last August), his buddy Alan, and myself installed an Injen Cold Air Intake in my car on Sunday. VROOM! I have been wanting to do this ever since I bought my car in January '04, so I am really excited to finally have it installed. The first day was kinda rough, the engine bogged, my check engine light came on, etc. However, after researching it online, it appears that those are normal symptoms b/c the car's computer has to re-map the new part. Today the car has been great to drive and the CEL disappeared so hopefully performance will only continue to improve :) Note to self - change oil in car.
I have yet to make note of my yearly goals for '08 and its almost February. One goal I know will get met is that my Celica will finally be paid off! Of course, by now I am a bit bored with her (sssshhh, don't tell her that), so if I can do some simple modifications to improve her performance here and there, it should keep me from going out and buying something else I don't need. Rar. So there is at least one very attainable goal - Pay off Celica
The weekend before last, K&I went with our friends S&S to the motorcycle show in Atlanta. Freaking rocked. This time I was really able to tell what kind of bikes were most comfortable to me, what weight felt like too much, what seat height was just right, what suspension felt the best, etc... I was REALLY impressed with the BMW bikes, both the 800 and the 1200. K and I have pretty much agreed that my new bike will be the 2008 Kawasaki 250 Ninja. Of course, I need to get my license and get more comfortable with the bike I have now before we buy that one. *grin* Okay, there is goal number 2 - Get motorcycle license
I need some sort of goal marker for my drumming, but I can't figure out what that should be. I feel like I've reached a kind of impasse with it. My instructor says I pick up things really quickly, but I feel like I'm not going anywhere with it. A friend of mine plays guitar and has told me I should be playing drums while K plays guitar. Its a good suggestion. I'll try and come up with a good goal for my drumming. My instructor is leaving 106 West in May. 106 West is the shop where I get my lessons. He will probably continue to give private lessons. In one way I am happy for him b/c I think he could do better having his own business. In another way, I'm bummed because Monday nights have become this nice little world I visited, kind of a retreat from everything else. Now, there is unspoken tension on Monday nights which is the last thing I need. Meh, it'll sort out.
Things have a way of sorting out both with and without outside help.
