Since I don't think most of you check out my website... (You read ought to try a feed reader like www.bloglines.com. I'm telling you, it's cool because you can read blogs from every different site, xanga, myspace, livejournal, blogger, my website, etc.)

Here's my situation: I believe I'm going to need a car in order to get to and from the internship I'm planning on doing this summer. The car I had was stolen at the beginning of the year. It's worked out alright for me to take the bus to school, but I think I'll need the car for this summer and next year. I want to find something decent, that I won't have to spend a lot on to keep running, but I don't really have much or any money to spend. Since I'm a full time student, I don't have extra money--I'm living on loans as it is. So, I'm kind of hoping maybe someone will give me a car. I'm not expecting that from anyone, but I figure I'd ask because I never know how God might provide. That's it. Thanks!

You may have noticed I haven't seemed to be writing much recently. O.K., so probably no one noticed, but the truth is I've been writing a lot, just in different languages. After four years my personal website was getting old and out of date. Now, after working hard all summer, I am finally ready to unveil my new, completely rewritten website. It can be found at gzmproductions.com/the_spheric1 I have a blog and stuff on there, so I'm not planning to use xanga or any other blogging site anymore. I publish and rss feed though, so if you haven't already, I recommend using an rss news reader thing for keeping track of all the blogs you frequent. I use bloglines.com, and I also understand that google has a similar service.

I just found out that the Violet Burning is supposed to be playing TONIGHT (Thursday) up at E91CC in Castleton. They are a great band so you should come if you can!

Grrr... (and/or why HP support sucks)

I wish I could get my printer to work. I got it last fall, installed it, and everything worked fine. Then around the beginning of May I went to scan something and suddenly it's throwing all of these scripting errors and won't work. O.K. fine, a little uninstall and reinstall should fix that, right? (Though the problem is that doing that is a one to two hour process. Why does it take so long?? An additional problem is that while you install everything by running one program, in order to uninstall everything, you have to uninstall like four or more seperate things, which is never made clear.) No such luck. So I contact HP support, and spend the summer emailing them back and forth. Every time I email them, it goes to a different person. Half of the time the person suggest doing something that's already been tried or that doesn't apply to my system, showing that they aren't even taking time to review what's going on. Pretty much every time they tell me another way to try uninstalling and reinstalling the software, which means more hours wasted. To make things more frustrating, not only do things get no better, they actually get worse! Finally one of them tells me that it seems they can't help me, and that I should upgrade my operating system. Grrrr... yeah, do you want to give me a copy? Because I don't I should have to go out and buy it because they can't tell me how to get their own software to work. (That's not to mention the time, etc. it takes to install and convert to a new system.)

Anyway, all along I thought the printing was working fine. I believed that it was the other features that were having trouble. However now that I've started school, I've been having trouble printing things I need for classes. The other day I tried to print a document with a picture in it. It had trouble with that page only, so I took out the picture and it worked fine. Today I tried to print a plain, no frills document, and it wouldn't do even that! I feel I need to figure something out, because it's not good to be in school and not have a working printer.

I know I was planning on having people over tomorrow, but... it's looking like I'm going to be flexible and make a change of plans. It seems like there's a lot going on tomorrow, and a lot of people already have other plans. I'm thinking about choosing one of the various other options available. But if you still want to hang out, we can certainly do that... may just choose to do so in a different location. So let me know early if you want to hang out. Thanks!
