Since Raffy brought it up, yes, I did sign up for .Mac and got the nice discount. Was it worth it? I think so. I didn’t have the time to contact everyone and update my e-mail address. I didn’t think I’d use the ‘free’ stuff that comes with .Mac but I am. Alchemy is a cool game to play when you have a few minutes. I’m staying clean and clear with Virex (nope, I haven’t found one single virus yet!) I started using iCal and iSync even though they are beta. No problems noted with iSync except that it doesn’t interface with the Mail app (yet?) However, iCal is slow as anything. I’m assuming that it will improve as time goes.

School? School you ask? I am sooo far behind. I did get an A+ on the first review of my Greek Exegesis notebook (we’re doing Colossians). However, I got a C on my first major quiz and flunked both of my vocab test. What is that supposed to tell me? I take it to mean that while I don’t know the technical details, I can still get the work done. Don’t tell me otherwise, the sun is shining brightly here in Timland.

BTW, I have to do a exegetical paper on Colossians. I picked Colossians 2:11, specifically the phrase “the circumcision of Christ”. I’m going to try to prove that it is a subjective genitive phrase (the circumcision Christ performs) rather than an objective genitive (the circumcision performed on Christ, that is, His crucifixion). I did a bunch of historical research and it looks pretty good but the hard part will be the linguistic stuff.

Speaking of Steve Ballmer, I saw a commerical the other night for the NASDQ and it starred big Steve (they kept cutting off the top of his head in the shots ’cause he’s bald) and the CEO of Starbucks. The volume was down so I couldn’t hear but they kept flashing up words like “innovate” and stuff. That made me laugh; I mean what has Steve Ballmer ever innovated? The next commercial was a youngish black woman standing in front of an all white background. I smiled as I went to the TV and turned it up. I recognized the music immediately. Yup, an Apple switch commercial. I just loved the timing of it all.
