June 5, 2015

Last night the weather was ridiculous. There was a whole bunch of rain and a crazy amount of wind, which was blowing stuff around on the deck and slowly blowing a couple deck chairs across the patio under the deck, right outside my window. It was interesting to watch and listen to.

This morning I woke up and actually wrote my discussion post for my management class. And I referenced both textbooks and one of the articles we read this week. I was impressed with myself. Later in the day, after dinner, I got back on and posted a response to someone else's post. Tomorrow I'd like to respond to a couple more and at least one more on Sunday.

I put some work in on the layout of my desks. I stayed away from the cable management but I hooked up my third monitor, fixed my speakers, got my headphones setup, and brought in my printer and the old Apple computer that was our first family computer way back in the day, a Performa 631CD. At some point in the move I put the power cord somewhere. Probably close. I didn't actually look. But the computer itself is currently sitting on my desk.

Tonight we had a family dinner at the Chinese buffet for no other reason than my mom thought it sounded good. And the Chinese buffet is always good. I ate way too much food, as you should do at a buffet. My first plate was piled high with the roasted potatoes I discovered last time and a bunch of green beans. My second plate was fried rice and macaroni and cheese. And my third and final plate had rice noodles and more roasted potatoes. More often than not I'm kind of over food and the fact that I have to eat in order to live is annoying. I like the idea of just popping a single pill that would cover me for the entire day. That needs to be a thing. Except for when we go to the Chinese buffett. That will always be a good thing, even if I'm just eating a giant plate of fried rice. Their fried rice is so good.

After dinner I replied to the discussion post, as I mentioned earlier, watched some livestreams for Ark, and did a little reading about, and messed around with, HTML. I still have no idea what I want to do for my website. Tomorrow I'm going to catch up on the reading in the HTML book and hopefully figure out a website idea. I also did laundry and tried to figure out how to change the light bulb that is on our mailbox. It is a riddle I could not solve. I took the little thing off the top of the lid, along with a couple washers but the lid wouldn't budge. And the screws around the base were just holding the whole enclosure to the base, they had nothing to do with getting at the light bulb. It seems like the lid should pop off but it wouldn't move an inch and I was afraid I was going to break the glass enclosure so I gave up. I was bested by a lamp.


So tomorrow the goal is HTML. As far as I know I don't have anything else on my plate. Having an idea for a website would make things a lot easier but much like everything else school related, forcing it isn't going to work so I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope something comes to me.
