Damn. First time in my LIFE... I'm so damn happy....

Yes, flying can be stressful, but it's no excuse to get belligerently drunk. On a recent United Airlines flight from Boston to San Francisco a 28 year-old female passenger did the following: • Used her cell phone. • Made jokes about the plane being hijacked when asked who she was talking to: "I'm calling 911 because the plane is being hijacked."

Wow. This is really cool. Read the part in the blue highlights and try not to be too cynical.

Side note: How was everybody's Christmas and New Years? Mine was good, spent it quietly with the family. Got some video games and a couple cool DVDs. I'm also back at school 5 days a week now, taking Religion in America, English II, US History I, and Fundamentals of Algebra. Wish me lots of luck, especially with Algebra!

...when did it become fashionable to turn automobile rear windows into rolling tombstone markers? Discuss.

OK, waiting on one class, but grades are as follows:

English I: Unknown. :D But I wrote a KILLER essay.
Western Civ II: A (93%)
Biology: C (Saw it coming, but glad to have passed)
Tech For Teachers: B (81%, Glad that one is done)
Understanding Visual Art: B. (80%)

Yay for me! Classes start again on January 4th, but I'll worry about that later. :)

So, as most of my friends on here know, I've taken full control over the monster that is Krewmembers.com, and I'm in the process of trying to set up a new forum and home for the friends I have there. Originally, I thought that it would be a simple switch from the old board to the new one. Boy was I wrong. First, I boned up the hosting plan and the new board wouldn't even install, and when I did finally get the thing working, I find out half the users can still see the old place! Isn't it a lovely day? :D

On the good side, with all my downtime waiting for updates yesterday I managed to get the final project for my online Technology for Teachers class completed, which means I'm officially done with that class. In all honesty, that particular class has been the bane of my existence since Day One. No interaction with other students, bad student/teacher dynamic, and a myriad of other things that made what should have been a simple class a nightmare for me. I'm glad it's over. Now onto the finals...:)

I had a nice entry for today and then the gods of electricity took it all away...:(

Ah well. Boring weekend anyway. Christmas lights, Little villages, festive mood, I had all that this weekend. I'll try and post pics later.
