Such randomness. First and most relevant, Comcast strikes again. The annoying southern cable giant, in an effort to continue it’s cable modem buisness, signs a deal with AT&T after Excite@Home bites the dust. This means that they’ll be switching their cable modem customers from @Home service to “Comcast high-speed service”, which sounds very sketchy to me. Anyway, to do this they obviously need to switch over their systems and do an upgrade… with out telling anyone when either. Oh, sure, we got a letter saying it might happen “over the coming weeks” but never an actual date. So, now we find our fearless hero downloading a rather large iso image and having his cable modem start blinking like there’s no tomorrow. Then, of course, it stops blinks all together. Matt get’s up, power cycles the modem… still nothing. Matt yells at the modem, still nothing. It takes 48 hours for them to “switch over” their systems. Something I would have been more understanding towards if they had told me it was going to happen. How did the tech support guy slime his way out of that one you may ask? Well, he simply told me that I should check my email and there would be a notice of the service interuption… some of you aren’t getting this… he told me to CHECK MY EMAIL with the service I didn’t have. Sure enough, this morning I was notified that I had just experienced a service outage… how nice of them.
Besides that modem, I did have some fun this weekend. Wednesday night, Lauren and I went out to Bella’s, our favorite Italian place. Thursday, we watched Moulin Rouge with a small group. Friday we stayed in and rented a movie. Last but certainly not least, last night we went to the Savannah Symphony to here a tribute to Frank Sinatra. It was really good and I’m really glad we went. Afterwards, Lauren, Hallie, Brittiny and myself went to the Diner for some eats. It was really a fun evening.
As for today. I only have two things on my to do list. First, I need to find a sphere, a cylinder and a cube to use as my first lighting subjects in a photo on Monday. I hope for supplies get here. Second, I need to do a little grocery shopping, just the essentials. I should probably also pick up a few odds and ends for that afor-mentioned photo shoot. That’s about it. Later kids.

Another day, another debt. I broke (no pun intended) down and ordered a nifty light meter from B&H in New York. Hopefully it’ll be here for Monday, but probably not. Anyway. Last night was pretty fun, Lauren, Hallie, Liisa, Josh, Jason and myself all watched Moulin Rouge and had some snacks. The snacks we made tasted really good but apparently my stomach disagreed. I woke up in the middle of the night and was sick. Very unpleasent. As for today, I don’t really have much to do. I’ve got to find objects for my first Studio still life but that should be pretty easy. I should probably also do some grocery shopping. We’ll see. I think tonight Lauren and I might go to a nifty little coffee shop downtown and maybe check out some jazz at a club down the street. Ok, I’m going to go have some toast since my stomach is still doing weird things. Later.

Woot! BT is playing in Jacksonville FL (only about two hours away) on the 26th! I wonder if I can convince Lauren to go. It would be nifty 🙂

For the first time EVER, someone who works for SCAD was actually helpful. I went over to the acedemic advising office (while it was at the Civic Center) and asked about whether or not my History of Jazz class counts for anything. No only did an advisor answer my question, she also ran off a report telling me exactly what classes I’ve taken and what I still have left. Not only does Jazz count for something, but it’s a good thing that I switched into it since the class I previously had would only have used up an elective. So, now I only have 12 classes left at SCAD, and 9 of them are electives. Rawk!
More later.

Another day, another dollar… or something like that. Either way, I’m friggin tired. I think it’ll take the majority of this week to get back to normal sleep wise. Oh well.
I had History of Jazz today and I have to say I was very impressed by the class. To bad I may not be able to keep it. I’m going to give the student services/advisement office a call in the morning and see if they can give me some idea of what I should do. Should I keep the class and use it as an elective or should I get something else I’ll get more credit hours for. We’ll see.
Ok, sorry to keep it short, but it’s sleepy time. Later.
