Sparky

See the picture in the last post? It was taken with the built-in webcam on my new Lenovo G530.

I've been saving up all summer to replace Hector, who died last semester. This is Sparky.

This computer is much nicer than the last one, and I payed about the same... making me wish I was a few years younger, so that I'd get all the good stuff the first time around, and so hopefully the recession would be almost over by the time I graduated and hit the job market. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about that.

The last bit since I've blogged, I've of course been working. We went to the beach this last weekend.

A group of us are practicing hard-core to sing at Anna's wedding this next Saturday. I'd tell you more, but don't want to spoil it for those of you who will be attending. But we've been working really hard and it darn well better be awesome.

And I finally hosted my European photo slideshow night. I made my Spanish host mom's apple pie recipe, and it turned out really well. I'll have to make it again, as I've still got another pie crust in the fridge.

OK, that's about it. Talk to you soon!

Various Bits

[The following actually written a couple weeks ago...]

I got a haircut!

Whatcha think? I like it.

And... not much has really happened recently. I've been working a lot, which is good. I've been sorting and printing photos for my scrapbooking. That will have to start really soon. Tonight or tomorrow.
We went and saw the Harry Potter movie this morning and laughed at all the people who payed more than $5.50 for their ticket or stayed up all night. If I want to dress up, I'll go to Comicon. But it wasn't an extraordinary movie. It was alright, but that's about it.
Dad and Michael are away for the week on a boyscout backpacking trip, so it's just the girls at home. We're eating out a lot and generally having fun.
That's... about it.

A job

Uh, yeah.
I haven't been blogging lately (did you notice?)

It's been a month now since I got home, and things are finally picking up. I've spent a bunch of my June working slowly on a few projects. I'm, knitting a bit, working on whittling down my 2500 photos, and listening to audiobooks from the library.

Then, I finally got a job! I started this last Friday at Pick Up Stix in Scripps Ranch. I used to work at the Poway store until it closed, so this job is not too hard. I just have to learn where everything is kept.

That's a basic update. I think a month break is enough, so I'll try to keep updating over the summer, though it's not likely to be very interesting. :)
Ciao!
