The past two days have been basically crappy. Everything seems to annoy me. For example, I went to In N Out with my mom yesterday for dinner. I sat down in a booth, and a little kid directly behind me was jumping up and down, making my seat shake over and over. So we moved to another booth. Then the guy who was sitting directly behind me was shaking his leg and that was shaking me, even worse. So finally we were able to get a table with actual chairs, and it was better -- minus the incredibly loud people all around us. I wanted to go and hurt somebody.
Today my computer chair broke. I've had that chair since Frosh year in college. I loved that chair. I was sitting on it and when I leaned back, it just decided to completely crack at the base. I sucked it up and bought a new chair at Office Depot. Costco had a disappointing selection, and since my mom had a $15 coupon for Office Depot, we went there. I like the new chair, but I am, for some odd reason, really bummed about my chair dying. I've probably spent more time in that chair than with anyone/anything else. Only my bed would be in the running for "most time spent with", and I think the chair would probably, sadly, win.
Besides that, I've been watching more DVDs as of late. Shanghai Noon/Knights, Tears of the Sun, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and Head of State is what I watched recently. Tonight was the first night since Thursday that I did not watch a DVD. I decided to program instead, even though I wasn't really in the mood to. I must work more, even though last week I did program 40+ hours. It's hard to stay focused. I really need a vacation, or to finish my project, which seems to just go on and on and on.
I also read a book about Steve Jobs, which was interesting. It talked about his life after Apple (when he got booted in the 80s) and how he had NeXT and Pixar, and Pixar was his "hobby" company, but it ended up saving him. It was a good read. Next on my "to read list" is "Stealing Time", which talks about the AOL Time Warner merger.
Oh, I've also been learning French for 45-60 minutes a day. So far it's fairly easy -- I guess I do know a smidge of French after all. :)
I do plan on putting the rest of my France pictures up, hopefully in the next day or two. I've been busy I guess, so at least I have an excuse...
