monoceros blogsI've been mucking around with the comments feature and finally figured out that the comments in my date and category archives are still in the pop-up mode. Fixed that, and then overzealous me went into closing comments (and even trackbacks, though I've yet to figure out exactly what that means) for entries more than five days old. This morning, I got up and changed my mind (since my mom wrote and said she wanted to leave some comments on older entries but couldn't do a thing about it), but I realize that I can't undo the changes. I only managed to make sure the entries I've written since my recent changes will have their comments section remain alive for about 20 days. The older ones that were affected by the first closure will have to remain closed.
Other news: how unproductive can I possibly get? I went to the music school to get some copying done, but the copy room was closed. (Handout-crazy instructor that I am, I've already exhausted my copy allowance from the English department, so good friend Jake decided to help me out.) Disappointed, I left for central campus and popped into Borders for a bit. A rather extended visit, and I left with America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction by The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, who looks terrific on the cover. Borders is offering a 50% off the publisher's price, so I thought I'd get a copy. It's seriously comic (oxymoron intended) and even has a little barbed attack on Singapore and a few other Asian countries ("Dynastic political families/De facto one-party rule/Major election fraud - check"). This makes me wonder if the stores in Singapore are selling this title.
Thanksgiving break is almost here. And then it's two and a half weeks of school before December break. Last year, I had a picture of Ms. Croft aiming her beretta at little Totoro to represent the kind of stress I was under. This year, I don't even have time to take whimsical snapshots.
I only have myself to blame for such ill discipline.
On my wishlist this Christmas (in no particular order):
1. Superior powers of concentration
2. That the White Rabbit will accept my car key and start the engine every single time
3. That I get no writer's or mental block for the next 50 years
4. Upon graduation, a job that I will be happy with
5. Time to write and read
6. Patience
7. Confidence
8. Time to play The Sims 2
9. A trip to Mackinac Island and the rest of Northern Michigan, and especially Isle Royale National Park on Lake Superior (I want to hike!)
10. Get all my work done on time
i like the wishlist, mine would be rather similar! haha... you made me giggle :C)

Posted by: iheng at November 23, 2004 8:51 PM#2 on the list sounds familiar. I think my husband has that same wish about our Golf!
Posted by: Christina at November 24, 2004 10:02 PMhi Christina,
your Golf has the same key-recognition problem that mine does? I used to think that maybe it was a problem specific to my car. Glad to meet another VW driver, although I wonder if there's anything that can solve the problem.
