Ah, my computer. For a little while, whenever I pressed the 'd' key, it would minimize whatever window I had open. I had to avoid using that key until whatever the problem was went away. Rather than become frustrated, I remembered what I had read when I was younger about lipograms and people who used to write novels without the letter 'e'. I looked up some english language letter frequencies and found it interesting. I had it comparitively easy with 'd'!
I went over to Josh's boss' house today to help him with computer problems. He offered me money and I declined (I was just trying to be helpful, not turn a profit) which I now think may have been a mistake. My thoughts at the time went something like:
1) I'm doing a favor for Josh
2) I had fun
3) be nice now and have someone influential on my side later
But I really could have used the money, and I shouldn't have devalued my time/service. I don't want him thinking he can call me for free tech troubleshooting, now. We'll see whether it was a good idea or not.
I spent the last two evenings at MILO hanging out with Adam, Anthony, Abby, and Josh, Jaymee. J's and A's. We determined that my phone number is (61-i-am-thy-LP). And that the word for smell corresponding to 'visibly' must be 'olfactorily'.
