I got my Mom's refurbished Thinkpad the other day. Installed all the updates, copied over all her user files, installed Office and Adobe Reader, and got everything more or less up and running. It has two features I didn't really notice it had before I got it. A TrackPoint and a fingerprint...

I really miss Z-talk. Mostly because of nostalgia, I suppose.

I felt really anxious when I went to sleep last night, but when I got up the thing I was worried would happen hadn't happened. Also, I have terrible luck with optical drives. Anything that spins a disc seems to fail for me within 3 years. Even a fairly expensive stereo system now has a CD tray...

Today? Mostly stuff we've purchased. I received a bunch of stuff I purchased earlier, and ordered a couple more things. I got a capacitive stylus for my Nintendo Switch, because I don't like using my fingers. It feels a little more precise. I may also use it with my phone, because I don't like...

I had jury duty recently, and it made me think about all the positive attributes of our legal system. We generally have a right to trial by jury, due process, the right to face your accuser, and judicial decisions that tend to be based on precedent. Looking at some of the other legal systems in...

Yeah, I definitely don't miss 2011. I actually spent most of that year hoping things would get better again.

Seeing an old friend today made me miss 2010. I honestly think my first year on the forums was the most enjoyable one... but then I guess it's like that for everyone.

I'm hoping Frontier gets purchased by another company. Seriously, their shareholders and customers are unhappy... something has to give. I'm using everything from VPNs and mobile tethering to stay online at this point because they have so many outages and weird problems.

I've learned that broadening your social circle can help make you happier and more resilient about things that are going on. If I'm having an issue within one group, I just hang out with another group for a while in order to stay happy and content. It's the times in my life when I haven't been...

I feel a bit sick. Eating those Craisins on an empty stomach didn't help, they just made my blood pump faster and gave me a light-headed feeling. Also, there's another waterbug in the bathroom. There's a good reason why I usually want to sleep during the morning and afternoon, but I'm having...

I've had some intellectual conversations with a new member lately, and they really make me miss an old friend of mine. I think he would have been better company for her than I am. And she was the sort of friend he deserved to have back then, instead of me. I don't know why he was friends with...

I really had fun participating in the podcast last night. That and catching up with an old friend that seems to understand me well helped my mood a lot. After being in a few voice calls again, I started to remember why I eventually preferred those over the forum... listening to people talk is...

What's keeping me going right now is focusing on a project I'm working on with a friend that involves Pokémon. Also trying to look forward to the podcast. But really, I'd be lying if I said I felt great about how this whole day went.

I'm glad that the plumbers finally put my toilet back today. I'm also a bit tired and bored from waiting up for someone who didn't show when I expected them to. I'm trying to decide whether to get some shuteye or play BoTW.

I had a nice chat with another old friend from Canada recently. It seems like people really are showing up and talking to me after all this time. I'm still amazed people didn't forget about me after four years, or just stop caring. I guess I never expected to form close connections to people on...

Well, I'm thinking about the podcast and about a friend that contacted me today. I'm pretty happy that I might have a chance to be in the podcast again. I'm also happy someone who I used to have long talks with is back in my life. Honestly, it's been a great day.

Mostly sleep today, actually. I've been going to sleep too late in the day, and having to wake up at a point where I've had just enough sleep that I can't go back to sleep easily, but also really don't want to be awake and hold my eyes open. I just want to feel well-rested and have a good...

My father is on my mind, honestly. The way he really hasn't been a part of my life lately. It's funny, when I was younger, I never really wanted to hear from him, but he kept pushing his way in and criticizing everything I would do. But we would always talk on holidays. Nowadays, though, a lot...
