Cats and Plants Will Never, Ever Mix

I can't have ANY plants in my house except for my room because within five minutes the cats WILL be chewing on it. I got a succulant from Trader Joe's today that had a little flower bud coming up. I set it on the stove so I could clean the pot off before taking it to my room. I was only away for ten or fifteen minutes and I came back and the bud was sitting next to the pot. Of course. Darn cats. >.<

I finally saw 21 today. Yay! It was free too, my mom happened to find some old coupons. I liked it. If I hadn't been in a theatre at the time I would have said 'squee' when You Can't Always Get What You Want started to play. The entire time at TJ's I had it stuck in my head (which isn't a bad thing). I'd write more about the actual movie but I don't remember anything that anyone would want to read.

The Secretary of State needs to get a more efficient system for calling people up. I applied for a state ID. Yay. Its to come in two weeks... (Lets see if anyone can find the significance of this fact) I still have not gotten my Voters registration. I'm not sure how long ago it was that I applied for that though.

A teacher of mine has me making an informational website for her. I hope its up to her standards. I'm to the point that I just have to do a bunch of data entry and cleaning up the html. My web design class ironically isn't helping much with this. And if anyone knows how to get PHP to add an entry to a table in MySQL for my personal site, it'd be really awesome of you to tell me how. I try and it doesn't want to work when I use my own variables.

At OTC we've started actually working on the computers that are going to be donated to the little kids, but some of the stuff Mr. L has us doing seems kinda pointless and we didn't have to it last year. Like cleaning the case, monitor, mouse, and keyboards out. I can kinda see cleaning the monitor and mouse, but not the rest. The way keyboards are made they aren't hindered by dust so this an entirely cosmetic action. The monitor needs to be clean so you can see and if the mouse is gunked up it wont work right. Chances are none of the others bothered to clean the rollers inside the mouse well and I don't think the teacher would appreciate us rinsing off the dust on the ball nor would he have a lint free cloth to dry it with (I've found the best way to remove dust from something waterproof is to put it under a faucet.)
And I'm still really, really behind on getting my Net+ cert. If I had been given the list of labs to skip I'd be fine, but nooo they Forgot about me because I'm the only AM student taking it. Augh. I'm also the only BPA member in the morning, so I have to wonder if I'm missing any information about that too.
I still think it odd that so few know what a tilde (~) is and that my teacher called an asterisk (*) an ampersand (&). No idea what he called the ampersand.

Reno Here I come!

Yay! I get to go to Reno, NV for the national BPA conference. ^^ And the schools paying for the plane tickets and hotel too! *Happy* I'm attempting to look up exactly when it is, but the website doesn't want to work for me at the moment. >.< Of course...
Ah! The pdf with a bunch of info loaded. May 7-9. Woo. I can't wait.
Neat, it says on the site that if I get 1st in PC Troubleshooting I can get 500 for college. (psh, like that'll happen)

Edit 4/18/08:It turns out I had the wrong info. Its actually from May 7-11. And I leave 7:00am on the 6th.
