Craft fair tomorrow. And Vet’s day parade. And O’Dea football game. Joy. Rapture. Glee.
You can tell I’m not terribly excited about the whole thing. Of course, I did volunteer to play at the football game, so that bit of pain is totally my fault, but the parade is required (oh please let it rain and thunder and stuff) and my parents are bound to drag me to watch their booth at the fair for no reason at all.
Well, things on the Canuck are going swimmingly. Somehow, my less-than-sterling recruiting efforts have gained me a few new crewmembers, bringing the total ship’s enrollment to 12, including myself. That’s none too shabby. The only problem is, my XO doesn’t post a whole lot (curse you Ian!) and all the new players are…well, newbies. Complete and utter n00bs. One of them has already dropped off the face of the Earth, and I didn’t even get to yell at him for posting wrong. Just kidding. I don’t do that. Except to Ian. *runs away from a certain viola-wielding Trekker*
On the home front, my Internet is being naughty again, possibly due to this nice little rainstorm that’s moved in and covers all of the Pacific Northwest. It wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t rely on satellite for our entertainment purposes (meaning TV and Internet). I also got a little (well, not that little) snail for my Betta fish’s tank, which was being rampantly overrun by algae until I attacked it with a toothbrush and paper towels. In theory, this snail will eat the algae and keep the tank clean. In practice, it’s just sitting up near the top of the tank doing nothing. At least the fish isn’t trying to eat it, which I’m told can sometimes occur. Of course, sometimes the snail can be the one doing the eating. That’s usually a disturbing sight to watch.
I’m experimenting with various website templates in the hopes that I’ll finally get my personal website up. Unfortunately, the majority of them require editing of various PSD files for customization, and my copy of CS2 is being really, really slow. Seriously, I don’t know what’s up. I even stole–I mean scavenged–an extra 256 meg memory chip from another computer in the house to see if it made any difference. It didn’t. So here I am, 768 megs of RAM, and my computer still hates Photoshop. Figures.
Oh, and I also went over to Lindsay’s house today to watch Mask of Zorro. Of course, we talked more than we watched, but I suppose that’s a fair trade-off. One funny incident: Lindsay was telling me how in Drama, she was talking to my sister Chelsea, when Chelsea found out I was coming to the closing night of Charley’s Aunt. Chelsea said, in typical sisterly fashion, “Oh, Cody will do anything for you, Lindsay.” Funny thing is, that’s not too far from the truth.
Now that I’ve emptied my brain into this post, I bid you good luck, and good night.
