On Girls

So I've learned several things about girls, the second one just kicked in today.

First, they can be very motivating.
Second, you don't realize how much you wanted too ask one on a date until your roommate asks her.

A gut-wrenching ouch.

[Edit] I did ask this girl on a date, and it went well. It took me two hours to do it, but I did. It didn't really do anything though. So, end of story. [/Edit]

Stupid Exercise Programs

So, it appears that even though the exercise classes (martial arts, raquet ball, volley ball, etc.) open for registration, they are no sections available to register for. That is, there are no sections actually offered yet. You have to rain check one and I don't know when they will actually open up the classes based off of the rain checks. Grrrr... I don't why I posting, but this is annoying beyond belief. I'm going to check if they have sections at one, and if they don't, then I'll go to bed. (Sigh)

I other news, I bought Kung-fu Panda and have watched it twice.

Skadoosh.

Lost Work

So when I upgraded my Kubutu install from 8.04 to 8.10, the software sources got all messed up and I couldn't install new software. So I decided to get my data off of the partition and on to a seperate one so I could install OpenGEU without beaning my data. Well I thought the data copy went well, but it turns out I lost several journal entries and ALL my programming stuff, including the stuff for the college tracker program boo.

That left me at several crossroads, the first being deciding whether to restart development. I think I will. The second question is what toolkit to use. I had been using Qt, which is what KDE uses and that was fine when I was using Kubuntu. But now, I'm using OpenGEU, and that uses gtk. My app in Qt would not mesh well with the look of my desktop. I really do want to use Qt for two reasons though: I am familiar with it, and there is QtDesigner, which is really nice for making the interfaces. Luckily, I stumbled upon a project which allows Qt4 apps to draw themselves using the gtk theme; sweet! That means I can use Qt with no worries. Now to get back to coding...

[Edit] Obviously, I never did restart the work. Oh well. I thought I would, but then second semester was busy :) I mean, busy. [/Edit]

Cooking Fun

I really need to learn how to cook. I really do.

Last week at Nicole's, we were making Jumbalia. I helped with the onions, tomatoes and green peppers. I didn't know how to do any of the them, at all. On the plus side, I did the celery chopping very fast because Bro. Slattebo used that in an object lesson, and he can really cook well.

This week, I'm making Chicken Enchiladas. I hope it goes well. The biggest obstacle is the chicken, which I should be able to cook, but can't. Wo is me.

I'm seriously going to learn to cook one of these days.
