Sooooo.....

[Disneyphile]

At least I'm feeling a bit better now... at least competent enough to finally sort through college courses at various places, and make sense of them all on a spreadsheet.

Looks like I found a winning combo of classes at Golden West, so I applied and should be able to register soon. I'll be taking 13 credits whilst running my own business. Shouldn't be too much of a challenge, considering that just over 10 years ago, I was taking 18 credits while working 3 part-time jobs while living by myself.

So, not only will I be learning some advanced graphics stuff, but I'll also be learning the third big video editing program, which should make for nice resume fodder - I'll know all three, and that opens up a whole new world of opportunity.

And, just for fun, I'm taking a dance class, just like in days of yore.

I'm excited. Is it end of the month yet?

Glad you're feeling better.

Last night I had a dream that I was with the Beatles in the reading room of the British Museum in London. They were singing, 'I Should Have Known Better' and 'From Me to You' and I was the harmonica player. It was a fun dream. During our song, a Finnish Men's Choir surrounded the building and sang along.
No idea what it means, but it was fun. I listened to both songs all day today. I kinda want to learn how to play the harmonica now...

I did, the next day at the picnic when they had changed from glowing to bright red.



Thankfully, my eyes were back to normal after a couple of hours.

Do you know about Replacements Ltd?

I couple of Halloweens ago, I thought it would be cool to have glowing hands to pass out Halloween candy to the kiddo's. As you say, the stuff in the sicks reads "non-toxic" so I cut open a half dozen of them, poured the stuff into a big bowl and then reached in and rubbed it all over my hands.

Arrrrgghhh!!! I forgot one thing. When you "snap" a light stick to activate it what you are really doing is shattering a small glass vial that holds the reactant. So the glowing liquid is filled with tiny shards of glass. I spent the next 20min pulling bits of glass out of my hands.....

There's a way to do it better then that. Pierce a hole in one end and then squeeze it out. (or flick it all over the walls - but be warned - it's an oily substance and stains the walls. who knew?!)

But man was it fun!
