 This morning I got up and scheduled a hair appointment before I did anything else. Thankfully she's able to get me in on Monday. I'm so long overdue. After that I got ready and headed to the university to meet my former practicum supervisor for our meeting.

We talked a little bit about the presentation and then she had one of her fellow librarians come be an audience so we weren't just giving the presentation to an empty room. The goal was to go for about thirty minutes and it ended up being eighteen minutes. Sooo, yeah, we'll need to beef that up a little bit. I was worried that I was going to ramble on too long so I ended up going really light on things. But now I know I can ramble for awhile and we'll be alright. We also got some good feedback from the other librarian but she also pointed out that she already knew what we were talking about so her view of the presentation wouldn't be the same as someone who didn't know about the project. Which is important to keep in mind.

We parted ways around sometime and I headed home. For lunch I ate the lunch I made yesterday but didn't eat because I went to Olive Garden with my grandma, aunt, and sister. I put it in the fridge and a cold peanut butter sandwich is interesting. Also, I think Cheez-Its lose a lot of their color when refrigerated, because they looked really pale. Interesting.

Originally I had planned on doing laundry today but I decided I'd be good until Monday. So I spent the rest of the day just hanging out. One of the things I accomplished was messing with hard drives. I copied a bunch of the stuff from my “missing” hard drive to my new hard drive because the new hard drive hasn't disappeared in awhile. And I'm hoping it doesn't disappear again because I figured out how to fix my old “missing” hard drive but that involved erasing and reformatting it. To save me some grief I changed the drive letter of my new hard drive to the same letter as my old one so all my old links work again. So that's exciting. And I'm up to four hard drives with plenty of room on all of them, which is also exciting. Until something happens, like the new drive disappearing again.

I spent a lot of time wanting to buy stuff today. That involved shoes, keyboards, video games, and computer things. I didn't end up buying anything but I've definitely been in the buying mood lately. I'm not entirely sure why that is. I bought my new Chucks fairly recently but other than that I've really only bought groceries, paid bills, and put gas in my car. Boring grownup things. So I feel like buying something is in my future. Or I might just move most of my money into savings and put some into my retirement account. You know, more boring grownup things.

With my recovered hard drive stuff I was finally able to catch up on uploading my audio journal videos. I think I had seven videos on the old hard drive, which I uploaded, and then I had even more on my laptop, which I also uploaded. I wanted to do them in order because it's annoying when they're out of order. But now we're good.

I started watching Iron Fist on Netflix. I watched the first four episodes and that might be all I watch. It's such a slow show and in those first four hours (because each episode is an hour long for some reason) they haven't made me really care about any of the characters. There isn't even a fun sidekick. The main character is a lot like the main character in Arrow but not as engaging. The brother character is a dick and I don't really care that he is being pressured into things my his dad. I wanted to like the sister because they made her seem a little sympathetic in the beginning but then she turned out to kind of suck. And there is the dojo lady who discovers she likes to beat the crap out of dudes in an underground cage fights. And I don't care about any of them after a four hour investment. The only thing that actually got a response out of me was the revenge the dad took on the dude that hit his daughter. The dad has obviously got some stuff going on but he's really the only entertaining character in the show so far. So yeah, I doubt I spend any more time on it.

The best part of the show was that I played guitar while watching it.

After that I played Tera and watched The Mechanic and The Mechanic: Resurrection. I had seen The Mechanic before but thought I should refresh my memory before jumping into the sequel. Both are fun action movies. The second one is way more over the top but that's not surprising.

And now it is freaking midnight and I need to record my audio journal so I can go to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day and I will be sleep deprived. Can't wait.
