Eh (hmm)

oh noes. I are sitting hereon  this couch and not doing anything  – which is exactly what I  haven’t been doing, and I can’t stand it.

I watched an hour TV show,  but because lame it’s over.

So,  scrubs is on, but it’s not  interesting  or funny, so I checked email and  stuff and an now updating my blog.  I really  could do stuff, but I’ve exercised, practiced, done some homework, and stuffs, and I’m  not in the mood for much.

I suppose I want to do Something like cook or file or  something, but the problem lies within the vagueness  and indefinably of “something:   obviously, I think “something” means  write long and dumb notes which are  read by me  and me alone, (thank god  I read them, hits) and procrastinate  until bedtime.

However, I’m so amazingly awesome that I make this post awesome just by having written it. (Sshhh.)

Is it going to rain?

I find myself asking whether it is going to rain or not; is it going to rain? The weather here in Rapid City is thunderstormy at the moment, so perhaps a better question is “will I be struck by lightning?”.

Today was the second day of classes, and the first for SDSMT, so I had every single one of my classes todayyyyyyyyyy, so yes. I’m taking AP Government, Chamber Orchestra, Sociology of Courtship and Marriage, Calculus II, and Computer Science I. So, yes. I haven’t much to do, although I suspect an added load of homework when I begin to get homework.

I’m going to go outside anyways; I’m probably more striking than lightning anyways =D

Oh, My

Well, I’m going to Ottawa Sound Encounters String Camp this Wednesday; I’ll be there till the Saturday after next. A few days after I’m done with that, our family is flying to Europe (London, Podgorica (Montenegro), Paris).

Relatives are going to stay in my room, so I had to clean it. It was really, really, really, really super filthy, especially my rug, which deserves a vacuuming even now.

The lots of rain in rapid caused the basement to get somewhat wet, and fungus makes us recarpet and repad. Everything downstairs is exiting, except the server, which will have a special stand to keep it running for my brother. My regular computer has no internet–something fixable–but doesn’t anyways.

So, yes.

I am Alive

I find myself occupied with task of writing a heftily procrastinated research paper–the time 1:29 displayed on my fuzzy computer screen is a homage to the great God of Tomorrow. I have waited too long to begin writing on my paper. Although I feel distraught to leave a book unfinished and begin reading another, I have had to leave seven riveting books unfinished in order to attain enough workable perspective. I admit part of my fascination is due to my self-imposed ostracism and my unremittent dedication to my God of Tomorrow, but excuses still do not relieve the mental instability of leaving books unfinished.

Rapid City’s School System and Taxes

This is my dad’s letter, completely rewritten and edited by myself. It is the essence of my dad’s ideas, and although rewritten, is an expression of his creation, bear in mind; I am too young to be married and have children. We intended to submit this to the Rapid City Journal (I would under my own name, if necessary), but we never did.

I feel obligated to comment that upon further research, the “funding” to the schools has actually increased since the time given below, but the actual funding to the school has not decreased; if you separate the school’s regular funds from No Child Left Behind’s mandatory funds, you’ll find that funding to the rest of the school has gone down. This is not necessary to know–just bear in mind by allowing No Child Left Behind to be passed and to allow it to remain in effect precludes additions to tax money to schools–the regular funding does not deserve to be decreased. So, as follows:

New York

If you have no idea where I am, I am in New York for easter and a little bit more. I am at my brother’s, and it’s awesome here.

 Today I got up, tried in vain to sftp files from my home computer to my brother’s laptop, got some empanadas for lunch, or maybe that was yesterday. Somewhere along in there we all got out the door and did some stuff. We visited a machine which you play a few notes and it builds music by computer software. The sound is created by shooting pingpong balls at xylophonic wooden things and swirling finger-like object around various wine glasses filled to various levels and various other things. We practiced some music.

My brother’s band, Leigh-Ra!, played in the Mae Mae Cafe; I opened with Symphonie Espagnol (which I botched completely after a reprieve from practice of it) and Ashokan Farewell (which I guessed at and did as good of job as if I read the repetitive music). I also played in one of their songs, which might’ve been called Bohemian.

 I’m supposed to be doing English on this trip, and I will do some.

Music

I have put up some songs I have done on this site:

A Jaunt with CD-Keys.

Today, reinstalling my software and games and what not, I have encountered time and time again requests for CD keys, many of which I have misplaced and the like. I am going to explain my solutions to lost cd keys. (It would be best to not lose them; do not put the cases in a “safe” place where you “cannot forget them,” and do not throw them on the ground either.)

Usually, the EULA agreements prohibit installing software on more than one computer; however I find it very beneficial to install certain games on an auxiliary machine to serve as a record and in order to avoid situations in which you cannot play the game at all; ie, you have misplaced your cd case.

I have looked through the registry for various games (on Windows) and found how you can find your cd-key if the game is installed on that computer. Continue reading »

Christmas

Hello, anyone!

I won’t be here for through January, I’m going to Phoenix and LA. I might post blogs here while I’m there, I don’t know; if I do, I might password protect them or email them or something. I dunno.

I need some help with my soundcard, if anyone could provide help :/

I’m writing a post if I ever get around to finishing it.

Arrrrrgh, thank you those who gave me christmas presents
