sleep deprived observations
august 13th, 2000

and don't you know i don't ever get sleepy? well, that's a lie. it's 
four-thirtish in the morning and i'm pretty exhausted. but there were a 
few things i wanted to share with persons who read or do not read or 
whatever the case may be.

firstly, i've been trying to change my email over to a pop3/smtp server 
that i can use to download messages and save them on my hard drive, since 
my inorbit.com account is getting pretty full. and i found one at 
flashmail.com, which seemed to work fine for a couple of days, and then 
all of the sudden it refuses to acknowledge that i exist, that my password 
is correct, and that there are probably messages waiting to be delivered 
to me somewhere out there. i've messaged them twice already and i've heard 
no response, and so, in disgust, i've signed up for an account with 
softhome.net, and all seems to be well so far. so if you've been trying to 
reach me at the other address, you should probably redirect your mail to 
dkoren@softhome.net. and i still check the alice@inorbit.com account quite 
regularly, and the only reason i'm changing at all is because of the space 
issue. if mail.com offered free pop access, i wouldn't even have to 
change. but ah well.

i reformatted my hard drive in order to get my webcam to work today, and 
so i still have a lot of programs that need to be reinstalled. not that it 
really matters to any of you, but i figured i'd share anyway.

i've finally completed my pitas page! (well, not exactly completed, but at 
least it is up and ready for public display.) it's pretty much a 
combination of my old quotes, links, and song-of-the-day pages, because 
i'm a lazy girl and it makes it a hell of a lot easier to update. at any 
rate, it's pretty now, and isn't that all that matters? (wow, i'm being 
superficial tonight - just what *are* they putting in pepsi one these 
days?)

i also remembered that i kept a journal for my creative writing and 
computers class at governor's school, which means that the diary 
resurrection i've been working on will not have *quite* a huge gap between 
1995 and 1997...i think i just spoke completely in poetry and stories for 
two years. there are random notes here and there which i plan to publish, 
but nothing really regular. it's kind of embarrassing at times to record 
all of this up here. i mean, i was a pretty flaky weird kid. and besides 
that, now you'll all know about my secret plans to take over the world. so 
where's the fun in that?

i am entirely too tired. i'm going to sleep now before i end up saying 
something even more stupid than i already have.
