In another IE window, I'm attempting to use H&R Block's e-filing site to do get my taxes done and out of my hair. It swears up and down that "Combat Pay" of some sort should be listed in box 14 of my Wal-Mart W2s. Granted, the holidays are hell on earth at Wal-Mart, but I don't think I get combat pay for it.

So, I was on Louisville TV Monday night. Abby Miller from WLKY, who followed the case I on which I served originally, came up and sat with a group of 6 jurors; I wasn't surprised at the no-shows.

I was told that the gag order concerning the jurors is over, so I'll give a few specifics: I was on the David Camm trial, a policeman...

Well, a decent weekend. A few things of note:

The threats from the weekend before may not have been from whom I suspected. Look at my profile, down at "Most Humbling Moment." There's a chance the threats may have to do with this case. The prosecutor's office for the county where the case took place contacted me over the weekend, wanting to meet and compare...

Read an e-mail from an old acquaintance this morning; we had recently updated each other on our goings-on, in life and in education. I think I had mentioned something about not wanting to settle for just a math major, I want to learn everything I can, why stop at one subject?... and got this as a reply:

It's too bad you don't know what you...

I appear to have crossed some sort of threshhold in demographics recently; my junk mail has gotten a lot nerdier. In my mail box over the last few weeks have been endless offers to subscribe to various science and engineering journals, and today I received complimentary copies of an aerospace sciences journal. Other guys get offers for Playboy or Sports Illustrated- I get book offers...

Haven't bothered getting online much of late. I've been in a snippy mood of late and haven't terribly wanted to deal with people. Still getting adjusted to this waking-in-the-afternoon thing.

I think my school schedule's going to be doable. Math class (differential equations) has been a bit difficult; I'm having to polish up on all the calculus stuff I've been taught over the last 2...

A beautiful week or so; I haven't been on-line much, for which I apologize. Happy new year to those who care to read my journal...

I've overcome registration problems, and am in for 7 credit-hours this next semester; linear algebra and differential equations (which promises to be easier than the last three semesters of calculus) and the principles of logic. I got my 4.0 in...

Happy Boxing Day. I skipped Christmas on here- I logged on long enough for my Folding@Home client to get another work-unit- and, frankly, have skipped SG much of this week. Apathy, exhaustion, and more than a little drinking have all conspired to send me to bed for 14-16 hours at a time... blame the holidays, I suppose.

The weather's been fun, though a bit of...

Another long-ass entry. Sorry again.

So, party at Cory's Saturday evening, and I managed to mis-set my alarm clock. One of the mis-sets that cause me to miss evening classes on occasion; forgetting that the little LED on the clock is "on" for PM, off for "AM" and not the other way 'round. So I managed to sleep through until a bit after midnight and...

A long-ass entry. Sorry.

So, I think I pretty much aced the Spanish final. The substitute was a male grad student who natively spoke Spanish, and much like any native speaker who isn't trained to teach their language to others, he mumbled/slurred like hell. The parts of the exam based on comprehension are the only parts I felt uneasy about, thanks to his leisurely amble...
