New Things in My Life

Ten new things in my life:

1. Yesterday I bought a keychain that is a hard drive and can hold 32 floppy disks worth of information :)
2. I bought a "CD" called Shakuhachi -- sounds of the ancient japanese flute
3. I got my level 1 certification as a Reiki natural healer
4. I got a phone call from a collection agency saying they need $3000 by early April to pay off a student loan
5. I got a web design contract for $3000 that's to be done by April first, so that I can pay off my loan. Problem is I only have ten days to do it, and it's a 100 hour contract. Wheeee.
6. I'm teaching 66 Chinese exchange students how to use microsoft access, and when they all handed in their final assignments, I realized that not a damn one of them understood the assignment, and none of them asked me questions. Sooo, now I have to fail them all, or think up something ingenius to fix it.
7. Mark bought a Playstation2, so now I have one to play with :)
8. I also bought an ugly refurbished telephone that doesn't require batteries. I went for the ugliest one, because when you're already buying a refurbished phone, face it... It's gonna be kinda ugly... So I just went with Reeeally ugly. My old one has been dying in the middle of conversations.
9. I spent last night at a cool party sponsored by Shift magazine which was part of DigiFest in toronto... it was at an old warehouse and had a multimedia show by some of the experts in the field. It was great!
10. I have started dating a girl I went to university with. She is AWESOME. She's super-spiritual and actually shows some interest in how my tech stuff works (which is rare & great)... Only problem is that she lives in London. This is why I need a car...

u posed the same update more than once :P

The keychain thingy is cool. Where'd you get it? and does it have a way to access the information or does it just store it?

I was all the way with you until.....
"Only problem is that she lives in London. This is why I need a car... "

Now correct me if I'm wrong but that sort of car needs a few added extras.... Now I'm thinkin':
1. a James bond number that does the whole 'I'm a little submarine now' trick
2. Star Wars speeder
3. good 4WD waterproof motor and a *very* long snorkel (oh and watch out for the continental shelf - hell of a drop if you're not ready for it - even in an off the road vehicle)
