i wonder if the new state stuff on the state workers affect workers at the library; hope my mom doesn't get hit too hard.

internet at the library's pretty iffy today; i can only log in for 5 minutes, then log out, rinse and repeat. the only reason i'm still here is because of two things:

1)trying to register for classes this fall; registration date's today for me.

2)trying to hook up w/eugene.

some middle-aged asian woman pissed me off on monday as i was driving because she was riding a bike, and decided to bike right at me from the front, then cut across the road VERY SLOWLY as i was pulling up to the traffic light. IDIOT; DO YOU WANT TO DIE?

i haven't gotten good sleep so far this week; since my mom is in southern ca, i thought i would try to cook dinner early and go to sleep early so i could get up earlier as my mom takes too long to cook dinner, but something always keeps me up when i hit the sack; sun and mon i tossed and turned when i got to bed, so i couldn't fall asleep and get 7 hrs of sleep like that. tuesday i woke up in the night to some faint buzzing sound and was itching all over my forearms. i finally got myself to get up, turned on the lights, got my flyswatter and killed the 1st faint-colored insect that i saw near my bed on the wall. when i saw splattered red color after i killed it i knew exactly what happened. now both my forearms itch all over. and i still can't figure out exactly how that insect got into the house; maybe one of the window screens has a hole in it.

on that same note, i'm still getting used to cooking again; i think my stove at home just heats up a lot faster than the one at the apts at davis, because water boiled in a pot so much faster when i was at home. and some of the frozen meats in the freezer i just can't tell what's inside, because of all the frost.

i'm still thinking about that luke passage on sunday. all my notes like all my bible notes are still at home, but i was able to come up with some stuff during my insomniac time on either sunday or monday and put it down; off the top of my head:
-the love of mammon, ie, love of money, is the lord of this world, and the root of all evil(3 bible verses), the root of all evil; Jesus hinted at this, because he starts talking about serving only 1 god after he talked about making yourselves friends of mammon of unrighteousness. as long as we are in this world and tied to the lord of this world, use our gifts, our influence, to lessen the burdens that the lord of this world places on others, in order to build up gifts for the next life. because when we die, nothing we have in this world can be carried over to the next life, much like how once a steward is fired from a rich man, he no longer belongs to him. that's a really quick runthrough of essentially what i typed down in length at home.

mind's blank, so i'm gonna stop.

"bad as a wanna be - dennis rodman" is a neat book; i'm kinda going through it right now, and if you can get past all the profanity and the lewd cover, i think it's a great book. he does not seem as bad a troublemaker as the media portayed him to be once you try to read the book. i also learned a bit more about how he rebounded by reading it, although, with all basketball player biographies, they don't stuff their book full of everything they did, more-or-less inject snippets as they go along. a lot of the stuff he said sounds like it could've come right out of charles barkley's mouth, and that guy is very contraversial, but a lotta the stuff he says makes a lotta sense; it's kinda that way with dennis rodman too.
