Hello all.

Today I was checking my Yahoo Mail, and I realized that I had a Word of the Day folder. I had not opened this in a while. When I had been studying the SATs, I had subscribed to dictionary.com’s Word of the Day. It somewhat worked until I put a filter on the messages that referred them to a new folder dedicated to this very subscription. Anyway, I almost never looked at any of the Word of the Day’s since then. So I have 892 unread messages in that folder. I found that to be enough waste, so I unsubscribed. But if anybody is interested in any of the Dictionary.com Word of the Day’s dating back to 7/9/06, let me know.

A few years back, I also filtered incoming Facebook email notifications to another folder. That has 7454 messages.

Today I talked a lot of Chinese with some people from China. It was good practice.

Tomorrow I’ll be leading worship. I haven’t been on a worship team since summer.

I’m going to get a new phone soon. It’s going to be the same model. The main difference is that it won’t lag as much, and the #9 will be more sensitive. Wonderful. The lady selling us the phones reminded me of myself in my Cutco days.

Ha. When I started the job, I had been planning on sticking to it in college to some extent. I have since abandoned that dream.

I also realized today that I don’t have much money. Besides my stock account that I’m not allowed to withdraw from until I am 20, I haven’t been this poor since possibly middle school. What a thought. I’ll blame Bush for that, because he’s the scapegoat for everything anyway. Just kidding.

Another thing I’ve been learning about recently is the variety of churches in existence. It’s interesting to come back from college and hear what kind of churches my high school friends are settling down in. I’ve also learned that I’ve become more opinionated in such matters since leaving. That works in a good and bad way.

The other day I looked up a bunch of Weezer, and though I’ve always thought they were overrated and simplistic (Beverley Hills), I’m liking them. I like their early stuff.

That’s all for now. I’m leaving Monday for LA, and I’ll be back Thursday. Then I’ll have two more weeks of break. I scoff at you quarter system folk.
