Feb. 12th, 2003 03:11 amI mailed a package at the PO today, and the line was monstrously long. I guess that's because of Valentine's Day. Anyway, this Muslim guy (he was dressed so you could tell) came in and was wandering around looking for a pen--really nice, friendly, smiley guy. When the guy walked out, this other guy goes, "I hope he's not a suicide bomber!" and started up a little conversation with some of the other people in line. I thought, "Paranoid?" but I guess he does have a reason to worry, since the terror alert is elevated. Still, it seems silly, that suburban Richardson, TX would be a target. I felt kinda sorry for the Muslim guy; he's just trying to mail a package and find a pen, and people are thinking things like that about him just because of his race and religion.
All of my shows have been fairly decent lately; yay! ^_^ Always makes a week easier to deal with, when you feel all entertained.
I'm about to install my video capture card. It was bought for me for Christmas several years ago, and I've never installed it because I always have trouble inserting cards. For some reason, I push and push and they just won't go in. I always have to get some big strong guy to come over and push the card into the slot. (That sounds so dirty.) But now, I really want to use it badly, and I have no big strong guy to come over and put it in, unless I want to wait on someone. So, I'm going to attempt it myself. It's possible that the reason I always had trouble getting them in in the past is because I always tried to insert them from the side. Well, the picture in the manual that shows you how to insert the video card shows the CPU on its side, where you insert the card from the top, so it's going downward. That may just make the difference! It might be easier to push it down and in. And stupid goofy me never thought of that until that picture. 9_6
Anyway, I hope I can get it in smoothly.
