The poll has closed. My computer shall be known as Murray Boondoggle (Boonie). I think its a nice mix of funky and cool. He can always go by Boonie if he chooses but this way other laptops at school wont make fun of him. I want to thank MMM for her suggestion of Boondoggle because I never knew what is meant but I think its appropriate. 

I went to the library and got some new books today. The new biography of Benazir Bhutto, a book by the first female press secretary (so I assuming that one is going to be just like watching CJ on West Wing, right?), and Brideshead Revisited. I'm guessing I wont read all of them but I sure looked smart checking them out today. 

Is anyone else totally bored with this season of Project Runway? I just feel I've seen it all before and no one is bringing anything new to the show? I miss Santino, Christian and Daniel V. (even though I read he got a really big head after the show and turned down a bunch of job offers because he felt they were beneath him. And where is he now???) Maybe the change to Lifetime & LA will be good but I sorta doubt it.

An alarm went off at 7:30. It was the loudest thing with bells and a ringtone and something else. It scared me and made it impossible to go back to bed.

We have no plans or appointments for today. So why the alarm went off this early? I do not know. I do not care. I just want sleep.

Thanks for the votes. Its exciting!

Here is another short, informal poll:
When you hear the name Tim-Tom, do you think dog or cat or a dog & a cat (2 separate animals, not like that weird cartoon from back in the day)?

I put up a poll combining some of my picks for the computer name and some of your suggestions. I think voting ends like 7/29 or something like that.

I know I always wanted a baby elephant but Toi would never let me have one. But after seeing this video:

I now want a lion cub. Anyone want to raise it with me? (Ignore the cheesy music)

I feel like I am being stalked by a former classmate. I get multiple texts, voicemails, e-mails, and phone calls to my home line. Honestly, I am a bit sick of it.

But tomorrow I will travel to Pittsburgh with classmate in another attempt to find an apartment for next year. I'm more than freaked out about the whole thing. I haven't been accepted yet and I feel like this is just jinxing everything and I wont get in. Its just not fun.

I want to take a minute to remind everyone to hug their computers.

Because you never know when your mother is going to dump her entire glass of coke directly on top of your computer and you will spend the next 24 hours drying it out and cursing yourself for not putting it on the insurance policy like your mother told you to and the fact that Apple's protection plan does not cover liquid spills.

I bought myself a new computer case. I'd been admiring it for a bit and when I wandered into the store today it was on clearance. So I snatched it up. 

Anyway that got me thinking I never quite named my laptop. And I feel horrible about that. Its been using the alias "Moi" for about 2 months now. But I've decided its time for it to have a real name. Only I'm completely drawing a blank on anything cool. Should I give it a human name or a reference to one of my favorite shows or something else? Anyone have a suggestion?
