So far, so good. Due in no small part to the overwhelming generosity of my professor, I’m getting a B+ in studio. That’s a load off my mind, thank the Lord… If only I knew what was going on with me this summer. My portfolio must be assembled to at least a rudimentary degree; I’m determined. Then I can start hawking it ’round…
I finally discovered what was going wrong with my monitor. Turns out overheating was causing it to flicker on and off annoyingly. I turned the fan on it and it was stable for as long as I needed it for; previously it had begun to flicker after an hour or so, quite disconcerting. I’m conjecturing that dust accumulation inside the plastic shell is hampering its cooling efficiency. I’ll clean it out this summer.
It’s turning into a full-fledged addiction. I’m beginning to think I’m well-nigh obsessed. Yesterday, walking out to my car (Twinkie) in the parking lot, I had this insane urge to pop the hood, get a couple of floodlights, and tear down half of the engine. For no good reason. I think I’m just unstable when it comes to mechanical issues. In more positive news, one of our cars is well on its way to being restored to operational status after suffering a warped head (serious condition requiring a pretty thorough overhaul). Called the friendly folks at Carquest today ordered the parts I need. The car should be back on the road in a few weeks or so… We’ll see.

you should perhaps get erin to clean it out… she’s nuts for that obsessive compulsive kinda work ;)
*hmph*
i think i resent that comment.
i think.
maybe….
:o)
Re: *hmph*
does she now? ;)
Just an aside– Why does it seem like at regular intervals my journal becomes something of a playing field for mock arguments between you two? Not that it’s not entertaining… :o) I was just curious.
did you really expect an answer to that? (at least one that made sense to you?) ;)
Good point. ‘Course, I couldn’t lead the Obvious Patrol as well as I do if I made insightful comments all the time. :o)
i have something to add…
do you think your journal so special as to be the only one on which these “mock” arguements, as you call them, occur? oh no, oh vain sir, that is not the case. simply ask shaman or any other of our friends. you, my good sir, are no more special than they.
now that i’ve thoroughly put you down and been highly insensitive… :o) i have no idea.
In my defense, if you’ll read my comment carefully, you’ll notice I did not say I was the only one. I was simply pondering about your motivation. Your accusations are thoroughly unjustified, miss. :o)
yeah, i know they’re unjustified… i just wanted to sound mean, that’s all.
i’m done. no hard feelings, alright?
good. :o)
i love you.
