The constipation episode

Uncategorized

Some two or three weeks ago, I caught a virus that had been going around the area for the previous week or so. That Monday, as I was leaving for school, I was feeling violently sick (strangely, I wasn’t feeling sick at any point the night before). Then, just as we (I was riding in someone else’s car) were at the last major intersection before the school, I vomitted all over myself. First time that I did that since I was 6 years old.

Until Wednesday, I was bed-ridden. I couldn’t do #2, and I was feeling nauseous for the whole time. Even though I went to school from Wednesday to Friday, I was still constipated.

It ended on Friday, the day after I took a pill of Milk of Magnesia and a glass of Prune Juice. To be blunt, I was taking a shit almost every hour of the school day, and it didn’t stop until the next day, if I recall correctly.

Anyway, I just wanted to get that out there, simply to make some sort of work at the moment.

It’s 12 midnight, and I’m not tired yet.

Now where’s that Milk of Magnesia? >:-)

I passed (barely)!

Now I get to keep my Pell.

Oh, and we finally got this box that Dad sent through UPS (and notified us of beforehand).

It’s addressed to me, and it comes with the precondition: “Do not open til’ X-Mas”.

Hmmm…..

I’m certain that its a notebook, though.

Haven’t been this anticipatory about the Winter Solistice since…..damn, how long *has* it been?

How to get back in the habit

Uncategorized

I’ve finally figured out the best way to kill or maim an endeavour:

let it be.

That’s all one has to do, especially if he he has other, more pressing matters to attend to.

And for a bit, that was working.

But now I’m bored again.

This’ll be one weekend that we don’t have to spend in Columbus, one weekend where I don’t have to wonder on whether or not I’m a life-wasting dummy, one weekend where I can have something to do besides editing Wikipedia or surfing Digg.

Well, Digg can wait at the moment. Too full of “iPhone” stories and other retarded shit ATM to warrant my attention (seriously, why are they going all ga-ga over an Apple rumour? It’s common over there, but that last iPhone story took the cake).

So, I’m posting to LJ while I wait, like I’m at the airport terminal or something.

Currently, I’m reading on Native America’s blood quantum laws.

Concerning them: I find it funny that card-carrying Native Americans of today are willing to tolerate most of the political indignities exacted upon them by both federal and state governments.

For instance, the state Legislature of the Massachusetts Commonwealth, only last year, repealed a 330-year-old Massachusetts law which banned Native Americans from entering the City of Boston.

Oh, and according the Commonwealth of Virginia, all Native Americans living there are considered “colored”. Apparently, they have been “mongrelized” too much with Black people for Virginia’s tastes.

I mean, just……….WTF?

Mac and Windows: why the wait?

Uncategorized

The last release of Windows XP was in 2001.

That same year, Mac OS X 10.1 was released.

Fast forward to 2006:

Windows Vista was declared “Ready for Manufacture” earlier this week.

Mac OS X began selling its Intel-based computer line this year.

…………………..

I wonder….why the wait?

If Apple and Microsoft are so seriously opposed to each other in the desktop market, then why did Microsoft wait for this entire time to release a new Windows version until Apple launched Mac OS X on Intel processors?

Did the deal between Apple and Microsoft to release and sell Microsoft products for the Mac OS (including Internet Explorer, Virtual PC, and Microsoft Office) go much further than that?

Otherwise, why would Microsoft give Apple such *blatantly* obvious headway on the desktop?

Maybe this video has alot to do with it?
