card, taxes, chinese and games

of course, i'm left wondering if it made to the right person. i suppose i have to assume it did. i can't help it if it didn't and, to be honest, i'm not going to let that effect how i feel. i feel good to have done it and that's the key thing in the situation.

in other news.. something is chewing up lots of ram and i'm not sure why or what. perhaps it's my ram program not working quite right, which is odd since it's done a wonderful job for such a long time.

i met with elva, she's from taiwan. i'm helping her with english - i think i've mentioned her before. it's so much fun to talk to her and hear how things differ culturally. she's going to help me learn chinese or get me in touch someone who can help teach me. this makes me happy. i need to read my books.

i'm very unhappy with my bank. i want my tax forms so i can do my freakin' taxes and get mad money back - or so i hope. i didn't know until yesterday that i can deduct the cost of school on my taxes or get a credit. this makes me very happy.

what else what else.. roomie rob has some new xbox games, but none of them lend themselves well to a group type situation that we have here. he likes football games and no one else does.. so he will sit and play one boring the bejesus out of everyone. he's oblivious to it since he's enjoying it. he also got rainbow six - which is fun to play.. but sort of like football it's boring to just watch.

i'm debating on if i should bring this up or not. for myself, i'm going to try very much not to play any game i consider boring to watch while someone else is here.. unless i ask and they say it's cool. even then, i'm going to offer them the controls every so often. just makes sense to me.
