School starts to-day for all the tino students. Best wishes in the new school year!
I have been searching for a bag that I once remembered owning, a plastic knapsack where you put your shower things and so on, and couldn't find it. That leaves me to wonder about the mysteries of my own household. It's almost a daily occurrence now that my mother digs something up out of I-don't-know-where (a place existent only in the geography of my exasperatedly-amused mind) and tells me that I should take it with me to the dorms. Usually I would've never seen that thing before, and would have no memory of how, where, or why my parents would think of buying that thing when it did. It's an equally frequent occurrence that I realize I would need something for college, remember owning it/buying it at such-and-such time, and then not be able to find it. It then remains with me to lay it out with mother who will then find it in mysterious locations. Considering that my house isn't exactly a three-tiered castle, it's a wonder how many places things can be hid.
Treasure hunts. In my own house. What fun.
Debugging appears successful thus far. No new bites reported.
On a very happy side-note, I found that the mp3 player my aunt and grandma (paternal) gave me (what you get for guilty relatives that you haven't seen/talked to in four years) came with a built-in radio. That's one more use for me. So far I've been using it as a recorder (functions much better than my old analog one, if you guys remember that) and a USB disk. Well...using a mp3 as storage device seems a lot more logical if you've only two mp3 files on your computer, trust me. So, now-radio! No guilt anymore, Kate, right?
Have also been looking at laptops, since I need one for college and our family one's...a bit...out of date in terms of hardware. Here's a note for all people who wants a notebook computer who already has a college in mind--check the college website for the computer recommendations! I was just looking at the UCD thing and I haven't a clue why the heck they need some of the things they do. For instance...why would you need BOTH an ethernet card and a wireless card? Most of us'd manage just fine with one. Then they recommend XP pro instead of XP home for a reason that is still yet unknow to me because the explanation page was "down due to maintenance." The processor and memory I can understand but...
Strange, strange college recommendations. Getting a state-of-the-art deal for school? I kept wanting to re-check if there's a special under-grad page that I'm missing.

This is official: cell phone will be absolutely offline tomorrow. As in it's at the dealer's. Don't know what'll happen if you call.
