What a Harry Potter Dork I am…

Today, after I dropped my sister and her friend off at dance class, I went to the library.  My main reason for going was to try sending emails with their wireless network.  I recently set up Thunderbird email on my laptop, and for some strange reason I have not been able to send emails using [...]

My New Favorite Bushism…

Today, our lovely president was talking about high gas prices.  Being someone who lives in an area where gas prices are above average, I am very sick of paying so much to drive my car.  I got gas on Sunday and paid $3.65 per gallon, which was a sale price.  There are a few stations [...]

Success!

I got my calculus test back today.  I thought I did well on it, but I wasn’t positive.  Turns out, I got a 74 out of 80!  That’s a 93%, my best test grade so far.  I may manage a B+ in this class yet…
I just have to hope that I don’t fail the last [...]

Nickels Can Add Up

Spring has sprung.  Well, we kind of skipped Spring and went straight to Summer here.  It’s been 70-80 degrees the past couple weeks, with hardly any rain.  It’s very strange, considering we usually don’t go 3 or 4 days without rain.  But whatever.  It’s now warm enough to open the moon roof in my car, [...]

For the Third Time…

Tonight, everyone in my family had someplace to go.  My youngest sister was going to the sixth grade dance, my other sister was going to play rehearsal, my bro’s play was being performed tonight (I’m seeing it tomorrow), my dad went to go watch it, and my mom and I went grocery shopping.
My mom, both [...]

Is That Fan Fic?

Last week J.K. Rowling was in NYC for a trial with Steve Vander Ark, who wants to publish a Harry Potter encyclopedia.  The trial lasted 3 days and it wasn’t resolved.  I personally think that Jo should win because I don’t think anyone else has the right to publish and make money off her work.  [...]

Hard Core Huckabee Voters

Yesterday was the PA primaries, if you didn’t know.  Clinton won for the Democrats.  I like both of them, but I’m more of an Obama person.  What I’d really like is both of them on the same ticket, but I don’t think either of them will suck it up and be satisfied being the running [...]

Way to Rip Off the College Students

As if text books weren’t enough.  You now have to drop an entire paycheck just to participate in the graduation ceremony.  The other day I went to the book store to buy my cap and gown.  Cap/gown/tassel cost me $38.  Your standard black gown, black cap, and gold tassel.  I get a gold tassel because [...]

Even My Caluculator Doesn’t Like Calculus

Yesterday before work I was doing some calculus homework.  We have a big test on Wednesday and I’m not ready for it.  I typed an equation into my calculator to find the limit of it was (if you don’t know what a limit is, consider yourself lucky) and the calculator tried to find it.  It’s [...]

I Can’t Believe He Ate the Whole Thing…

…Actually, I can. You’ve probably guessed that this is about Benny. Today, my mom made a cheese cake. It had a oreo cookie crust and was topped with dark chocolate chips. She put it in the fridge before we went out to dinner. We thought we locked the fridge. [...]
