3. 2. 1... Contact

So I'm having trouble getting in touch with a friend of mine in Philly. I'm not sure if I'm being ignored or just continually pushed down the importance list. Either way it's no big deal. It is however, amusing. I think I'm going to start a race. I have a feeling I can find and get in touch with a kid I knew in 2nd grade before Philly calls me back. I haven't heard from this guy in, let's see... 18ish years? I cannot for the life of me remember where he moved and I'm actually not sure I have his name right. All part of the fun. To keep things fair, I'll keep trying to contact my friend and I'll even let her know about the challenge. Let's call it, Contact2005: The Race for Communication. Sounds good. I'll keep you updated.

Also, I have a digital camera and free time. I think I'll put some pictures up here to try and fit in with other, more capable blogs. Bring it on and let the games begin!

New Mental Games

The new projects are in. One the one hand, I am trying to teach myself how to use Dreamweaver so that I can get a job working as a GA somewhere on campus. On the other hand, I think I am trying to teach myself Greek.

The Dreamweaver part was pretty easy to get started with. It was designed to let people with no experience build a website to put up pictures of Lil'Jimmy and his soccer team I suppose. The Greek is not quite the same thing. It was designed to be spoken/written/read by a bunch of people living over 2000 years ago in a (from me) remote part of the world. As such, I'm having a slightly harder time.

But not to worry, since we've given up all but an hour of TV a day, I have plenty of free time to work on both projects and still get all my reading done. Even if the classes I read for are canceled.

On a non-me note, Christo is at it again. He and his wife are putting 'Gates' in central park. Mmmmmmmmm I love it. Lots of saffron coloured fabric and flimsy wooden beams. Nothing says classy like a bunch of cheap crap in an otherwise beautiful park. I give it half a day until people start to tear down the fabric for clothes, souvenirs, or something to sleep under. Go Christo. I guess it's his money, he can do what he wants. Even if want he want to do is make a mess.

A finally thought, people are upset about Howard Dean becoming the new DNC chair. While I am sure some people have legit complaints, the Democrats need something new to fix their damn cart. Dean was the only guy I saw do anything interesting during the run-off. He looked at fund raising a different way which made him look at people a different way. For the Democrats, different is good.
