Got plenty of suggestions on the Facebook post for stuff to get while I'm here. I'm not sure if I'll have room for all of it (because one season of a show can be up to 15 gigs depending on quality, and I've only got 30 left) but I'll be saving some torrents to download just in case I get an external hard drive while I'm at mom and dad's place.

The Ubuntu hard disk manager, (not the Windows one,) shows that my external drive has about 1.5Tb of unpartitioned space, but whenever I try to partition it I get errors. I'm gonna guess it's just because they used the same firmware for all models of "MyBook" external hard drives, which go up 2Tb for the expensive ones (I think)... or something like that. On the other hand, maybe some tweaking would get me that extra space I want, or maybe Ubuntu sucks. Either way, I'm not gonna do anything about it now.

Dinner is soon.

I made that card for Gana, and I'll give it to her on Friday. It's not as well drawn as some of my other cards, and I couldn't think of anything special we've done which I could draw. I'm not that good, I just draw designy things so far, but I made a neat envelope out of four sheets of yellow paper and too many staples, and I think the written part was more heartfelt than most of my other cards. I've written several cards just to friends or acquaintances, but Gana's been a really good friend, and it's been a real blessing knowing her.

When I think about it, writing letters to people this way would be kindof weird if I were to do it in America to white people, but somehow being here kindof liberates me in that the people here don't all know American culture, so anything I do can be brushed off as cultural, and if I write a card to someone, they take it as if I really mean it, whereas in America they might not know what to do with it.

NK put me through a pretty hardcore guilt trip the other day, because she didn't want me to try and schedule a meeting with other friends while I was staying at her house this weekend... *gasp* I'm glad I never fell under that iron fist. Whatever~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
