My touchpad on my laptop works again. As we all know, when it comes to computer glitches, it is not for us to understand why they happen, but to say a silent prayer when they correct themselves.
I made myself very happy a few minutes ago when I went to Barnies Coffee and Tea and got myself a pound of Santa’s White Christmas coffee beans. Yep, we know it is not “officially” Christmas but can’t any day be Christmas if one chooses? For Christmas, I shall descend into the jungle so I must celebrate now. Not really, I simply love this coffee and it has been several years since I have had it because I bought a Tassimo, which doe not allow me to brew my own coffee. I bought a Keurig a few weeks ago now I can brew whatever I like.
I am watching the Colbert Report and he is talking to Oliver Stone about the new movie W. I must say, this is the next movie that I will see. Oliver Stone is incredibly laid back- I think he’s high-LOL! Makes me want to watch Shindler’s List again. Mike, I have to agree the Chapelle Show is pretty funny, I am watching it for the first time.
The weekend is here again and I could not be happier. I have no plans to do anything this weekend except the usual stuff and work on my dissertation. I do not know if I have mentioned it, but I have worked on it twice this week. Funny thing is, I just might make the deadline that I got an extension on. I have to obtain my mentor approval on my proposal by the 22nd. This is definitely feasible if I can get her suggested changes implemented this weekend. I of course have made it sound a bit simpler than it really is. This entails some rewriting/revising of three chapters, which total almost 100 pages. It is possible and I am going to try. I would be nice to know that I have goofed off but I can still make the deadline.
One of my friends has decided to start a dissertation “study group” and since she mentioned it, I have wanted to do nothing more than work on my dissertation. Go figure. If you are wondering what a dissertation study group is, it really does not meet the traditionally understood meaning of a study group. Our intent is to get together in hopes of encouraging each other to do whatever it is that we need to do to make progress on our dissertations. The dissertation process continues to be very subjective and therefore many people end up never finishing. IMHO, this has little to do with the school that you are attending or how well you did in your classes. Dissertations often add a very unexpected layer of complexity to ones life.
I totally have my fingers crossed that an app store for the Samsung Instinct is on the horizon. I am still in need of a calendar that meets my needs. I search the Internet everyday but thus far I have not found any new information but I will not give up hope. Well, at least not until the new Samsung Instinct is released or Sprint starts carrying the Iphone at which time, I will purchase an Iphone. The Iphone is awesome but unfortunately, I will not switch away from unlimited plan with Sprint.
Well, my coffee is finish and so is this post for tonight.
