old and new!

I'm blogging from my old old OLD lappy today as I wait for a lovely insurance check to go towards replacing my new lappy which was stolen last Tuesday from my new home in Nashville!!! 

So there is some old stuff on here.  "TheFacebook.com" is one of my quick links on Safari.  wowza.  and going through my iTunes library is kinda like giving high-school Val a high five through time.  She was a pretty cool kid, I must say.

Also, I had to laugh at one of college senior Val's last Xanga posts (another quick link on Safari).  Here's an excerpt: 

So, today was a full work day for my thesis.  4.5 full hours of working.  i keyed out an entire scene.  hooray!  Well, close to keyed, anyway.  the program i need to time out my drawings is on the fritz.  in every single possible computer.  So, i ask the labbie what to do and she tells me to call bill, whose number i definitely do not have, and whose existence was previously completely unknown to me, or submit a complaint ticket to the helpdesk.  So, I go trudging up to the helpdesk, where they look at me like I'm crazy at the sound of my request.  So, they point me towards Bill's office (which, according to the guy, was close to ingle auditorium.  i rightly assumed he meant Webb.  engineers.), and i go, only to find that he is nowhere to be found.  I then spot a strategically placed poster advertising online helpdesk services, where i can submit a ticket to have a problem fixed.  oops.  so, now i wait for someone to read my online request and fix the problem.  chances are my class at 4 will come before a solution.

in other news, i have yet to pay real moneys for a meal this quarter, or go grocery shopping.  This is due mostly to Unzila, and largely to Matt Marsh, and partly to my Grammy.  I am eternally grateful for all three of them.


BAHAHA!!  4.5 hours is a full day of work???  Oh man, reading this was like college senior Val reaching through time to slap present Val in the face with her lethargy and moochiness!  And can I just say that I went through the rest of the year largely mooching off the freshies in my small group for debits.  ;)  ahh, those were the days.
