– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – 1.  The last baby swan in the apartment pond is still alive and well.  It has gotten a lot bigger. 2.  Two little girls (8 or 9 yrs old) were playing by the pond.  They actually managed to catch a bullfrog in a net.  They were quite thrilled.  I was rather impressed… frogs usually jump away long before I can get close to them.  One of the little girls picked it up out of the net and walked over to me and asked if I wanted to touch it.  I declined.  It was a lovely frog though. 3.  Maintenance finally came by and fixed my wobbly toilet today — after I put in the request over a week ago. 4.  Found and fixed a bunch of bugs in my software project today — some were quite nasty. 5.  Went grocery shopping.  Since I got paid (for the first time in 2 months) a few days ago, I splurged on some goodies:  focaccia bread, ice cream sandwiches, cookie-baking ingredients.

Wow, only a week… That is good I shall say. On the University where we live it takes 2-3 weeks unless it is a dire emergency. Melia I am more myself in Solitude. For in solitude I am myself.                            -Melia Benjamin (c)August 2000

1.  As part of our latest project at work, I am working on a complicated subroutine (in assembly language) and I made a lot of progress today. 2.  I signed up for another pottery class!  Just hand-building, I never could do the wheel stuff.  Actually, I could go in the pottery lab anytime I want, but I know I won’t make the effort unless I actually sign up for a class (and plunk down my $$$). 3.  I got a new battery for my Metal Charger (an effect box for my guitar). Now I can play with ridiculous amounts of distortion again. 4.  Ran into a friend I had not seen in over a year.  We might do lunch. (Probably won’t, but it was still nice to see her again — if only for the novelty.) 5.  My step-dad.  He was always kind to me and said nice things about me.  He was nice to other people too and would talk to anybody.  I don’t remember him ever doing anything petty or cruel.
