Snot
So, allergies seem to be hitting me very hard at the moment. I even took one of those 24 hour allergy relief pills, yet it did nothing. There's no fatigue, achiness, or general malaise associated with a cold, so I'm pretty sure it's pure allergy. Plus, according to weather.com, weed pollen has been "very high" for the past week.

Vacation, Employment, NWN2
We just got back from a three-day vacation (or most of three days, anyway). It was good to get away from the daily routine and get some perspective ( Read more... ) -
Happeninz
Well, my latest AI idea--the exciting-for-a-PhD one--finally collapsed into a smoldering heap of intractability, as expected. Within the wreckage is another idea which is already well on its way to suffering the same fate, but I'll give it a shot, anyway ( Read more... ) -

Bustin' out grillz, yo
Finally buckled down and finished the grill last night. The instruction booklet claims it's a "35 to 45 minute" assembly. I'd say it took me at least ten times that long.
