Why Would I Write

    Hola, Ubuntu

    So, this weekend has been pretty interesting. Here’s rundown of what happened:

    I finished my online grammar course (woot), onwards to essay writing now! Week one and I can say it’s already much more challenging than the previous course.

    I started Spanish for beginners, and man – I haven’t felt this dumb in a looong time.

    I watched The Visit. Scared myself shitless, thanks Milin :*

    I installed Ubuntu on my sister’s old laptop. It’s actually pretty cool. Haven’t used it for more than a day yet, so we’ll see if I miss anything from Windows. I doubt it though, since I can pretty much do anything in Chrome. Will report back in a week or so! I need to get a new battery for this laptop though (it’s a Dell Inspiron N4020 – any suggestions?)

    I did some non-coursework work. Tomorrow’s my last day at Priority, so I want to get everything finished before I leave. Looking forward to my weeklong break and my new job!

    I upgraded my vape. Finally joined the ranks of mods and rebuildable tanks. However, it’ll probably be some time before I understand what I’m doing. For now, I’m just gonna stick to atomizers I can buy.

    Happy Monday everyone! I heard it’s school holidays, so traffic should be great!

  • Pushbullet

    Not sure if any of you use Pushbullet but I recently discovered this app and I’ve fallen in love with it. Not a day goes by where I don’t use it – and speaking as someone who had no idea it existed until a few weeks ago, that’s saying something. For starters, Pushbullet is a handy tool that lets you push text and files from your phone to your computer (or other devices) and vice versa.

  • Park Bench Confessional

    “You know, we shouldn’t be here.”
    “I know, but I had no other choice. I had to see you.”
    “Couldn’t you wait till Sunday? Church isn’t going to disappear.”
    “Father, you know how important this is to me.”
    “I’m sorry, it’s just… never mind. I’ll let you continue.”

    Jack took a deep breath, pinched the bridge of his nose and looked up to the sky. What do I say? Where do I start? How do I begin? He turned and looked at the priest.

    “Father… I’ve… done… I’ve seen… some terrible things.”
    “Go on.”
