So, today was proposal day! From 10:00 until 8:30ish, I was holed up in James' office trying to get everything ready to be sent off because it all had to be in the mail by 9:00 tonight. Fun! I did so much that I don't even remember what I did ( Read more... )

I forgot to vote for American Idol last night! I hope nothing bad happens! What if they didn't get enough votes and the show gets canceled ( Read more... )

I showed up to the class that I TA a little early today...BIG MISTAKE. Almost immediately, all these silly little first years started grilling me about why the reading is so boring for this class and why we're even doing it. They were down right hostile. Then James left early so I could do some logic for 15 minutes. Ha, but the joke is on him ( Read more... )

At the moment, everything is working OK and all memory is accounted for. Should I try ( Read more... )

Case and point, this weekend, it tried to eat my all time favorite game and then it tried to act all innocent like it didn' ( Read more... )

If anything, I would think computers would love me since I hardly ever make them do actual work. All we do is play and surf, play and surf, work, play and surf. Shouldn't that be every computer's dream existence? I even took Matzah Ball out for walks every day and I always said good night before I went to bed. Yes, it is clear, I was a stellar ( Read more... )

OK, one more update, and then I'll stop all this mad ranting and raving and get back to work. Yeah, that's it, work. 0 ( Read more... )
