I'm grumpy right now because all the good, kind people I know keep dying and all the self-absorbed jerks I know keep living.

This guy, Jason, who was a student in my drawing class at Wasatch Mental Health died in his sleep last night. He was 31 years old. They aren't sure what caused it, though they think it could have been caused by sleep apnea.

Okay, I've narrowed it down. I've reset the DSL modem, and it's fine. I've even reformatted my hard drive--and then realized that the full system backup my backup system made only had empty folders in it. Thankfully, I had also just copied everything over to the external hard drive because I didn't trust that the backup had worked, so I still have all my programs and documents (I think). Well, I still have all the documents--I'm not sure about the programs. That remains to be seen.

At any rate, the problem is the stupid wireless hub.  Stinking Netgear. I'm debating whether I should just go get a new one, a better one, and whenever I move I'd just take it with me. I had thought I'd just wait till I moved, but this is getting to be annoying.

I'm grumpy because the first half of my last round of boards is monday and tuesday and I've been cooped up studying during the first weekend of spring weather here.

Grrrrr...

Studying has gotten to be sooooooo hard....

I'm grumpy because my mother was going to pay for Marie and I to go see Corteo, but it's all already sold out.  =/

My Saturday is more almost over than yours.

That makes me grumpy.

I'm grumpy cos I dont' want to have to study for my maths exam tomorrow and also cos there is a distinct chance that I'll sleep in and not get there in time.

The ironic thing is, I love maths  T_T

I'm grumpy because even though I don't say mean things about people on the board, people treat me like I'm some kind of psycho out to make them all feel bad.

I'm grumpy cause it's April in Utah--a time that usually has pretty nice weather overall--and I've had frost on my windshield 7 out of the last ten days of work! Also, it's been rainy (which is good cause we need it--we live in a desert) but I was really looking forward to sun and being able to wear shorts and not have frost and the heater in my car doesn't work and I have been avoiding having it fixed cause it was suppose to be warm soon and I am just really bummed. I mean it's April 11 and the high is suppose to be like 57 degrees!

heh, I *have* been wearing shorts. But then, I live in the South. But yeah, I totally sympathize about Utah weather. Something's wrong when you have to put on long pants to be warm in the morning and then change to shorts because those pants are too hot by afternoon.

I'm grumpy also because I haven't been getting things done. On the other hand, I may turn happy because I move this week and hopefully I'll be better able to get things done next week.

Husband is either too lazy or too stupid to check the bank account balance and keeps overdrawing it - meaning big bill on credit card at the end of the month.
