Donorschoose.org - A damned good donation site.

Recently, due to the Colbert / Fallon back and forth raising money for donors choose, a donation site that Colbert happens to be a member of the Board of Directors, I checked it out last night and...found myself suddenly addicted to helping finish projects for these classrooms. I don't know what it is, but it feels addicting to me, and I like it. If any of you are in a giving mood, please consider this site. You can check out if there are any sites in your area that need donating, and there are a variety of other ways to donate.

Goddamn I need to blog more.

I do, really. Life, such as it is, has been hectic recently and as such I've been putting things off, such as blogging. My bad!
Anyways...so I'm getting a new computer. It's an HP. Was considering Dell but...honestly. Dell didn't even have the i7 chipset I wanted in the computer I was looking at, and their financing is bullshit. Could I have just said "fuck it, Ima build it myself?" Probably, and it would have been ridiculously fun to do so (While I have done some minor customizations to my computers in the past, I have yet to build one) but it also, I suspect, would have been wicked time consuming, and as I have two jobs and am going to school, this isn't even remotely a possibility.
The jobs are good, so far. Working in the mental health field is pretty rewarding, and since I like helping others, it's a given that I would enjoy my job. Are there difficult days at times? Naturally, but it's a good job and one that makes me happy. My other job (retail)...meh. Mindnumbingly boring, but it serves its' purpose.

I hope all of you out there are having a good St. Patrick's Day. :)
