I am not feeling daylight savings. I’ve spent over 30 years of my life in Indiana, where there is no time change (save a few counties–I spent most of my life in Indianapolis). I don’t know whether DST is beginning or ending. It’s bothersome to have to care. All of these devices that automatically take care of this is confusing [EDIT--i was supposed to, but never wrote about my mobile that supposed to do so--turns out it didn't, and i ended up awake early this morning]. For one, i’d rather not even have to worry about it, set my clock as usual, and get up tomorrow without a care. instead i have to remember which way to turn the clock (my wife tells me it’s backwards).

It seems like such a small thing, but thinking about this makes me really miss home in many other ways.

(as if any of these are relevant?)

more and more, i’m loving scrambled eggs with hot sauce. I put more hotsauce on every day, and it doesn’t even burn me.

i fill up a container as the lady at the Phonecian grill is fixing my food; I keep running out no matter how much more i put in my container each day.

my toddler son likes hot food. over the past 2 days, he’s been sharing flaming hot cheetos with his pops. he sometimes forgets to wipe his hands though, like a child, and accidentally wipes his eyes. yow!

I’m new (again) to Apple.

When in the finder, i had this weird up symbol, the flower key, and “A” to open applications. It’s day three, and i finally figured out what the weird up symbol is. It is the Shift key, which, on the iBook keyboard, is not labeled as such (anymore?). For the past 2 days, I have been attempting to use the up arrow plus apple plus A to give me my Applications folder.

to Apple: duhhh.
to me: duhhh. but i have an excuse. on a “normal” keyboard, i touch type, and probably haven’t really paid attention to the key labels in about 10 years. And yeah as i mentioned, the shift key is “iconless” on the iBook. I just noticed the up arrow icon for the first time on my work (PC) keyboard’s Shift key.

Now all I need to figure out is where the wierd escalator with line on top key is.
