Ha Ha...And You Think That Will Reassure Me?

A quote from an Associated Press article on the Health Effects of the Gulf Spill on those working to clean it up and at the safety of the seafood to those who love their fishes:

Q: How about the seafood? Is it safe to eat?

A: The president thinks so. Barack Obama ate Gulf seafood during his last visit to Mississippi. He declared that seafood from the region is safe, and also announced stepped-up inspections.

President Obama telling me whatever food is safe/not safe for me (or anyone to eat) is about as reassuring as me telling a cancer patient how to treat the cancer. I'm sorry, I am unqualified to make that assessment. President Obama is unqualified to tell anyone whether food is safe/not safe for anyone to eat.

One more thing President Obama is NOT QUALIFIED to do. There is a running list...

LOVE-ing the New Mac

I recently went from a PC to a Mac. "Mac-Daddy" is really what I want to shout for some reason (ha ha ha).

I was pretty ambitious too the day I converted, I also abandoned Microsoft Office for the Mac version of iWorks. I thought I had bit off more than I thought I could chew (but when have I ever not been that way???).

So I like it. Its been one week and one day since my rebirth of sorts and I'm getting to know the tricks and shortcuts of iWorks that I knew in Office, a few I have yet to learn, and I've found that the Mac is helping me be more focused than the PC. Here's how:

Mac does not come with Freecell, Spider Solitaire, Hearts, Pinball, Solitaire, etc... except Chess and Chess, as we all know, is the game of kings, warriors, and any person in a place of strategy and skill (all components of focus).

Mac (well, more specifically the web browser Safari) has a feature that previews recently/frequently used websites and it lays out all options together (games and academic sites) that face me with my choices and priorities.

Mac, I believe, uses monitor space more efficiently. I have a 13" for two reasons: it was significantly cheaper than the 15" and I like the smallness of it. So space at that rate, is prime.

Mac's keyboard is quieter as you hit the keys. Really nice for the Tetris aspect of my class time.

Nuf said. Mac you've won me over and it took 8 days.

Wondering If Anyone Reads This Anymore...

Yeah but I'll probably be still blogging even if no one reads it. ha ha ha

So I encountered computer problems on day two of my ten day class. Grrr.... All over, well, mostly over. I won't be going into detail about that.

I have mixed feelings on how that class ended (Marriage and Family Therapy). On the one hand I'm simply amazed at the B that I ended with. On the other hand I'm disappointed it wasn't an A. Here's why: Entering the final exam, I was at an A. Exiting the final exam, I was at a B. That's right...flat-out failed it - by miles! Can you even believe that??? Hence the reason I'm amazed that I got a B. It is just about as thrilling as that B I got in NT Biblical Theology.

Nuf about the final grade...this is how that failing grade arrived on that final. In the two week duration of the class I did this: wrote a 10 page paper, read 433 of 500 pages of the collateral reading, got an A on the midterm, celebrated my 4 year anniversary, and visited the ER 4 times. That is simply why I had no energy to study the night(s) before the exam.

That is about all I have. Pray that I find my flash drive and that I get about two more clients for my internship. THANK YOU!!
