Mood: apathetic
boogidaboogida: yeah
I attempted to install my printer. With my luck it failed. I can not get it to work. Very annoying. Stupid USB. Also discovered when accessing windows boot options, my USB keyboard does not respond. Again annoying. Some much for the greatness of USB.
I am also noticing my computer monitor is failing to display text correctly. It could be my video card, I guess, but there are distortion problems on the screen as well. It has done the fuzzys before, but somehow got out of it. I guess six years out of a used monitor is not all that bad. That is about twenty-one dollars a year. I will find out for sure if it is the monitor once I do the overdue format and reinstall. If It is, I am thinking of getting a seventeen inch LCD, but they are much expensive. Awhile back I did a total cost analysis and found that after utilizing a hot deal, after about five years the seventeen inch will cost about the same as a 21 inch CRT, and then decrease in cost from there. I guess the savings would be greater if energy costs went up as well. The only thing is that I heard they perform poorly in terms of ghosting with games and movies. I do not game much but like to keep the option open. I like to watch all kinds of videos on the screen as well, so that is a downer. Then again, I will not have a continuous stream of electrons aiming for my head, and it has a much smaller footprint. Of course, a seventeen inch CRT is the best buy but... Maybe I will just wait for the best deal.
I left the apartment for the first time in two days. Interaction with people; scary. People at UTSA looked morose today. I guess people do not want to go back to school. Me, I am apathetic about it. It gives me something to do. This semester I actually plan to do homework. This time I really mean it.
I saw an interesting thing on the book of Revelation on tV. Seem to suggest it was never meant to be a modern day prophecy. They presented evidence it was made for first century Christians. After seeing the show, I would tend to agree. After all it was a big church council that came up with what books to put in the Bible. I do not remember what year it happened, but apparently there was great controversy and arguing about it. In the end they left a bunch out and put in some that may not belong.
I am beginning to like this blog idea.
