Discover

I just Fibby McFibfibbed to Discover, trying to get a 0% balance transfer thing with them. Told them I owned my residence (that's a euphamism for "I have free room and board") and that I'm self employed (euphamism for "currently unemployed"), and that I make around $38,000 per year (euphamism for "I have a job lined up that will pay 3,000,000 yen per year").

Catch me if you can; I'll be in Japan!

Synchronistic

Kate Robinson is here at the Bibby's house; she's been here plenty of times before. Not like a million times, but like a hundred times. Maybe ten. Anyway, she's never answered the phone here before tonight.

Char, a friend of mine who I invited to my 12000th day party tomorrow, called to say she cannot attend.

Kate knows Char through church. So, for the first time that Char has ever called here, and the first time that Kate has ever answered the phone here, it was the same time. Kate was all, "it's Char!" in a surprised whisper. How amazing is the universe.

Today

11:11pm CST Thursday 30 January 2003

I basically got through my list of things to do today. It's a list that's been chillin' on my computer for quite a while. I'm really glad to have gotten it all done. The weird thing is that I don't feel really accomplished though because it didn't seem like I did all that much. Except for the fact that I've been on my computer almost all day.

Except for chatting with Kate and Jack just before noon on the futon in Sean's room for a while, and eating, and throwing banana peels into the back yard, hoping they'd get stuck on the wire, talking to Sally (West) (not Sally on the west side), and listening to Ben Fold Five and Ben Folds Live with Jack and Kate. And hugging Matt when he came to pick up Kate. They should be in Austin soon.

Anyway, I got my address book entries moved to my website, using the shareware address book here. It's not fantastic, but it's really good for a freely downloadable thing. I'll probably pay her a few dollars for it. I put the addressbook on my website so that I can lose my computer and not lose the addresses.

And the very last thing I worked on today was to be my new FAQ, but in my case I'm calling it a WTF. However, I had originally intended to just make it hardcoded, considering the answers won't change very often. However, however, I just realized that if I'm to move my site forward to the uber plan I have for it, where every page has consistent navigation at the top, the way journal.pl does now, I can't hardcode the pages.

That means that I've got to write some script that will just display my WTF pages, which might be a bit complicated considering I'd like them to 'branch out' in various ways. I gotta sketch them out before I can figure out wtf I'm talking about though. Sigh.

Aight. Bedtime. In 25 minutes I'll be 12,000 days old. Actually I turned 12,000 days old 35 minutes ago cause I was born in EST. Give or take an hour for daylight savings. Too tired to care.

Tomorrow will be a funtastic time; I'm really looking forward to my party. I'm so so thankful to Maggie for dealing with all the details, the RSVP list, the catering, the securing a room, getting a book for everyone to sign... I've decided that I will maintain this book in a way similar to how I did my handwritten journals, allowing people to sign them at various events, like a quasi scrapbook/memorybook thing. Anyway, I'll keep this book and bring it to my 12,500 day party on Monday 14 June 2004 and 13,000 day party on Thursday 27 October 2005, etc. Fun Fun fun stuff!!

Oh, and thanks to Mark Leonard who found a cooler days old calculation site than what I've written.
