(no subject)
It's been a long day today, part of which was getting home from class last night about 10:30 pm and having to get up at 5 am to get ready and go in to sub in a very crazy classroom, and part of which I will talk about under a cut because it's kind of sad.
When Mom and I got home from work today, we found that Chloe was no longer with us. She never seemed to be in pain, which was a good thing, and we certainly gave her a people food and attention during her last couple weeks with us to keep her happy. And she didn't have to go back to the vet, which is good because she didn't like that trip at all, and it probably would have traumatized her to have to go back and get that shot, whereas when we got home she looked very peaceful except for the fact that she was no longer breathing. And it wasn't entirely unexpected, of course, though I'll still miss her. But it wasn't as sad as it could have been.
On a totally unrelated note, but something to hopefully lighten the mood a bit, during my computer class I got bored of listening to the same lecture for the whatever-number-it-was time, so I was looking at the news headlines on Firefox to see what kinds of technology news they might have (our professor is a news junky and that class had added a bit to his beginning of the class news readings that he welcomed any of us to bring in any technology-related news we found interesting). One of the articles mentioned a website called We Tell Stories, the premise of which is re-telling classic stories using various technologies, and which seems kinda cool. And through poking around I also learned about something called ARG - "Alternate Reality Game" - which I still don't quite "get" but which seems an interesting concept. Of course, I'm probably waaaay behind the times on this and probably everyone else who might read this and be interested has heard of it, but I'm used to being a little slow (or a lot slow, considering that a lot of the music I listen to was written well before this current century, or at least in a style popular well before this current century, but that's another story).
Anyway, that's enough babble for now. I'm getting sleepy and tired and stuff, which isn't surprising really, so I suppose I'd best stop typing this and go to bed or something.
