I am currently sitting in a very pleasant café inside Malmö city library, which offers free wifi, and have been in this lovely city for just under two weeks. ( Quel coincidence!) We found a Swedish translation of an old children's book I have fond memories of, and Shadow is amused at the quaint 1950s wording and illustrations it contains. Turns out ( Read more... )

So tz119 is leaving for Sweden just under two weeks from now, and I'm coming along for a while. We'll be sending a removal van ahead with our stuff, and taking the train ourselves. I'll probably be flying back after a week or so, though. So we'll be back to a long-distance relationship once I get back here. I wonder how I'll cope with that. I know I'll ( Read more... )

Especially since it, much like the rest of this concept album, is in the style of They Might Be Giants (in fact, it sounds quite similar to Now it's over; from Flood, which is ( Read more... )

Trouble being, of course, that I'm a first-year undergrad, barely managing my introductory JavaAlice and Processing course as it is. And next year there'll be C and Unix to explore, which promises a lot of fun. So I suspect this is yet another case of me attempting to branch out too early, before I have decent roots in the ground. Shan't have a lot ( Read more... )

Geeks in Love. Both Neil Cicierega and Andrew Kepple continue to be Persons of Excellence in my book, and shall be spared their lives when I am finally crowned Chairthing of the Bored.
In other news, I still lack a red and white uniform, though the neckbeard at least is coming along nicely. Maybe the St. Nick Cabal will have to go without my ( Read more... )
