Hello again!
Well, I've finished all my books--except Wuthering Heights. I took a break from that. They were all really, really good. The Host and City of Bones especially. Except the plot twist at the end of CoB infuriated me. Grr. I won't go into detail, but I squealed "WHAAAAAAT?!" really, really loud and really, really high-pitched when I read it. Oops. I think I scared my mom :P.
My favourite out of all of them, though, was The Host. It was captivating. You know when people say "It was a book I couldn't put down", meaning that it was captivating and not literally that they couldn't separate it from their person? Well, when I say that, I mean it literally. I was at my friend Grace's birthday party (we went to see Get Smart and had a sleepover) and I read for a total of... two and a half hours. With everyone there. Antisocial? Yes. Ashamed? Maybe. Regretful? Not in your wildest dreams. I can't even explain it. Well, I can try. It's science fiction, kind of Body-Snatcher-esque. In the present time, a race of aliens (who call themselves souls) have invaded Earth. They are nearly completely indetectable, due to the fact that they cannot live in their own bodies. They are essentially parasites who are inserted into humans and take control of their body and mind. The human who used to control the body usually fades away, with the soul in complete control. The souls are not volatile or evil--they are actually peace-loving beings who didn't want humans to fight each other or destroy the Earth. The price of that is that humans--well, they just don't get to take part in that world. There are human renegades as well: humans who are in hiding from the aliens because they don't want to lose their bodies/souls/hearts/etc. The book is about a soul named Wanderer whose host body--Melanie Stryder-- refuses to relinquish control of her mind. Melanie worries constantly about her brother and true love, who are humans in hiding. Eventually, certain events force Melanie and Wanderer to join forces and look for them. AWESOME, FABULOUS, INCREDIBLE. I absolutely loooved it. (Guess what my recommendation of the day will be :P )
Anywho, that is just one thing. I passed my lifesaving course exam. Woot for me. (That was facetious.) It was really easy. I had been stressing for nothing. I also jumped off the ten-metre again. It actually hurt this time--the bottoms of my feet were KILLING me. Ouchies. Forgot to point my toes. Oh well.�
My young cousins are coming to visit for a week. They are very sweet kids (a girl, 11, and�a boy, 7) and I'm excited to see them. We rarely spend time together even when they come to visit us (they live very far away). I think I've explained this, though, so...
As I mentioned, my suggestion today is The Host. Really, if you have a chance to read it, DO.
Bye for now!

Well tomorrow I get to go back to work. I went to the diabetic doc on Thursday. She is pleased with my progress.� Work has me "floating" to another place. It will cost me more in gas...but I guess it's better then dealing with the B.S at work.
I finally started to exercise yesterday. I did 30 min on the gym bike at the apartment. Today I was on 43 minutes when I started to get chest pains. Went home and took two asprins. It got better-I am still alive.
Went to church with dad and then didn't do much of anything else the rest of the day. my sugar was spiking high today and my stomach feels funny. Oh boy...back to work and I pray I am ok to work.
Well, I couldn't get on this to type a journal...I couldn't remember my password...lol... Well, i am back now-lets just hope I feel good this week to type the journal.
What to say? What to say? I have an idea! How crazy. I just went to Florida and it was absolutely amazing. I'm so freaking tan now. Its kick ass. Because up her in New York (near Canada land of the moose, right above us...) we've got snow like crazy. I mean down in the middle of the united states, theyre all omg weve got an inch of snow lets close school for a month! not even kidding. How did I get so off topic? no clue. check me out www.myspace.com/kaitygirl214� peace!�
08:15 - (ch)InkPen sent ST message about odysseus and hypnos.� Apparently they aren't communicating with the backup server.� (I'll have to check nsr to see which server they're going to, but they're nonprod so probably brahms)�
- Logged into odysseus and the first thing I tried to do was reverse lookup on haydn or brahms and neither will resolve.� I look at resolv.conf and am just completely bewildered by what I see.� The search line is referencing a domain we don't even populate.� The resolver is 1 digit off.� Who does this shit?� How long as this been fucko?� Did it EVER work?
9:10 Looks like ESX Host Druid just crashed.� Called Slick & left VM, then called Grandpa Simpson.� He's in that 9am LM presentation that Mr. T. is doing and I was going to call into but got sidetracked with this.� Druid is prod.
-- Trying to access dckvmmgt.� Can't get there from desk.� Go in from Fairbanks and the java app starts but when I try to log in, it says "remote host not responding".
9:45 - Squirrelface says he can get logged in, but he's going in from renton NJ.
9:50 - Grandpa Simpson seems to have just restarted Druid and all the vms on it.� Looking in the message logs of druid I see nothing unusual.� Awesome.
10:00 LDAP/PAM Meating.� Skipper wants to push to QA next Thurs.� I blocked off 4 hours on my calendar to do it.
10:30 - PFF - SS called me to do code migration.� I asked him why I'm doing these anyway because the person who's going to manage this app once it goes live is the person who needs to know how to do it.� I asked Matt T. about it in ST and he sent the full text (misspelling and all) to Rene and Watts.� What a jackss.� Never quote someone's ST messages unless you ASK THEM FIRST.� (or at least fix their lazy spelling errors.)
- SS is supposed to call back at noon to complete the work.
12:00 (ch)InkPen opened ticket 462074.X for me to look at odysseus and hypnos.� I fixed their resolvers and closed the ticket.� Hopefully that fixes the problem.
