I watched an episode of SmallVille for the first time last night... it was actually pretty good... and the main character from Ginger Snaps (Katherine Isabelle) was on it... strange that she would be in the only episode RatFangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353228.post-1080073100685546032004-03-23T15:15:00.000-05:002004-03-23T15:21:47.186-05:00"I wanted a challenge that I CAN do!" I'm pretty content today... I'm back to doing minor changes to the program that I'm working on... so I can feel productive again! YAY! I get really bored when I make no progress on a problem after a few days... oh well... maybe I'm better suited to setting my goals low and achieving them! :)RatFangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353228.post-1080068165706640582004-03-23T13:54:00.000-05:002004-03-23T13:59:31.623-05:00Good News & Bad News (at least for me) Good News: My brain is working today...

I just came back from getting a coke in the lunch room... and there were ONLY brown people in there... It seems that people here only hang around with others of the same ethnic background... there's the eastern europeans, the chinese, and the browns (I can't be more specific because I'm not sure)... and then there's meRatFangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353228.post-1079983354850722282004-03-22T14:20:00.000-05:002004-03-22T14:25:59.950-05:00Preparing to Flash the world So, my new thing is Flash... I downloaded the program and started playing around with it... I think I'm going to make a flash-based website and post cartoons...

So, while I was waiting, I had to get someone to let me onto my floor, then get someone else to let me into the area that I work in... A little while later, I get an e-mail telling me that my passes are ready... but, in order to pick them up, I have to get to this person's desk, and I need a RatFangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353228.post-1079730082396431932004-03-19T16:00:00.000-05:002004-03-19T16:04:43.686-05:00Penguin 3 They've come out with another oneRatFangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353228.post-107971946311202152004-03-19T12:59:00.000-05:002004-03-19T13:07:44.186-05:00The Calm After the Storm So, after my job-related freakout yesterday, I'm feeling pretty calm today... I think that I have a clearer idea of what I'm going to be looking for in my next job...

You know, I think that I actually like seeing sunlight every so often... which is weird for me because it really hurts my eyes.... but lately, sunny days have really cheered me up...
