I’m downloading the public beta 3 of the X11 system for Apple OS X 10.2. An operating version of OpenOffice.org has finally been released for the Mac, but it requires X11. Apparently the new OS X 10.3 is going to have the final version, not just the public beta, of X11 included. Wonder if it’ll work on my old-school Indigo iMac.

Ahh, the lengths I go to for a free office suite.

If 10.3 will work on old-school systems, I’m going to have to fulfill my dream of picking up a used iBook (one of the dual-colored ones), crank up the hard drive and RAM, and use it exclusively for writing. MU HA HA! Now, if only iChat would support plugins and tabbed window chatting like gAIM does. Oh, and if only X11 would support something like wine so I could run Grapevine on my Mac. That would be schweet.

“If only” will become “I did it!”. It will.

I feel like a new man.

I’ve extended my lease here in Lansing by one month. I’ll be moving out at the end of the month, to the Ann Arbor area. I’m looking for the west side of the city, and the towns surrounding A2 to the west. I’m going to contact tomorrow (hoping she’s feeling better) and see if I can get in contact with . All of the web resources are placing 1 room apartments at $670 a month minimum, and I know I can find better than that within reasonable distance to my future workplace.

The enrollment system at MSU is frozen until the end of July, so I can’t drop the classes that I’ve signed up for. I wonder if I can just write “Drop all classes” on the bill and send it back. I should probably call the registrar’s office and ask them.

I have letters to write and a Mage game to work on and a novel to work on, but I’m a bit lethargic. Not sleepy, just lazy.

By the way, go and see The Hulk if you like comic book movies at all. I enjoyed it (and its plot that wasn’t revealed during previews and such) immensely.

Ultra Magnus does the Mafia

Robert Stack did the voice of Ultra Magnus in the Transformers movie.

I’m watching a program… I can’t call it a documentary… on the mafia, which is hosted by Ultra Magnus.

I feel really good, even though I haven’t showered yet. The Changeling game at Fortress was AWESOME last night. I looked completely silly in my costume and got to yell at a whole lot of people. Ahh, an angry, angry, unseelie troll. I’m going to have to play something besides a troll the next time I play Changeling. Maybe. :)

Headaches and candles shaped like beer.

I had a headache. I’ve been having a problem with one of my contact lenses recently.. I’m pretty sure it’s scratched or something. I’m going to have to check it out more thoroughly tomorrow morning, just to make sure. I’m pretty sure that I’ve only got one contact left for each eye, and I can’t waste them.

I don’t even like beer. But I’ll be damned if the candle shaped like a pint of draught Guinness wasn’t the perfect Ireland gift from .

Now I move forward with plans.

More things I’ve noticed.

Filling up the gas tank while it’s at a quarter-tank instead of riding on empty feels really good. Like I’ve just removed hours and hours of worry from my life.

Ex-girlfriends seem to e-mail me when my life is at a changing point.

Adding some Presidents of the United States and Primus to my mp3 directory has completely changed the attitude of my overall playlist.

I feel like I’m at a snapping point. I know, more than likely, that I’ll be offered the Comcast position. It’s just the waiting… the inability to move on that with the actions that will take me to the Ann Arbor area. I have the option of starting little preperations now, but I don’t want to jump the gun. Any ideas?
