I did a semi spur of a moment trip to VA. my sister is moving to san fran, and there's furniture that she isn't going to take with her. I got new to me furniture. a couch, bookcase, desk, kitchen chairs.

I met some of mme's friends during a chinese new year's gathering. I feel out of place with everyone speaking chinese. on the bright side, I'm able to pickout more words than before. but most of it is still lost on me. I had fun, we wrapped dumplings. LOTS and LOTS of dumplings. everyone's surprised that I'm able to wrap them. I think that they liked me. from the little I spent with them, they seem good so far. one does bug me. shallow, all she cares about is looks and status. some of it could be because she's young, and hasn't come to realize that looks fade, status can change. how U get along with someone is worth so much more. that's just me. maybe she'll get what she wants and be happy.

word gets out that I kno how to fix computers. I don't especially like having that information come out at work for some reason. but it did, and I don't like saying no to helping others, so I took a look. the original problem that was explained to me, is that his computer would freeze and randomly shutdown. he was originally going to bring it to me to have a look, but he took it to a computer repair place. the tech said that it couldn't be turned on. possibly video card? I can never give a definite answer as to what an issue is without seeing it first. I got a POST code for the cpu being bad. I took off the fan, only to reveal that the plastic housing broke. leaving less pressure on the cpu to take away the heat. so in theory... it overheated and caused the freezing issues he faced. I lost all faith in cooler master as an after market cooler.

it's been... 4 years? since I last wore a watch? today, I thought I would wear mine that I found. with technology, there's no point to wear a watch. especially for me, between cellphone, itouch, and computers every 20 feet. not to mention the wall clock, stove clock, coffee pot clock, microwave clock all on one side of my kitchen... all I have to say is that it's weird wearing one again.

Mood: a little sore from moving
