Allie dropped in for the weekend and we saw a ton of cool stuff. At the Kennedy Center we saw ASIMO the walking robot as part of the Japan! Culture and Hyperculture event. That little dude is so cool. Unfortunately, it also makes me think that Skynet may be around sooner than we think. Funny aside about the Japan thing: I think even the people ( Read more... )

The Semester of Reuben took a hit last weekend when I got an email from GW Housing saying somebody new was moving into the room. He showed up on Saturday. Naturally he's a big, smelly guy who snores loudly when he sleeps (which is from 5 AM until noon or so) and talks to himself in the bathroom. He's also likely on anti-depressants. I could ( Read more... )

There are a few friends of mine who, every once in awhile, I look at and say to myself "My God, I hang around with idiots." The latest example, last night when Steve said the movie The Bucket List looked pretentious.

Woke up this morning and he's still gone and the stuff still isn't. I counted the change. It's $17.65. The printer is a Dell 1110 Laser Printer that retails for $93 at Samsclub.com. I'm gonna craigslist it today for $30. This is so weird.

Ok, I'm confused. When I left the room at 10 o'clock, the asshole roommate was bringing stuff down to the car to pack things up. I came back 40 minutes later and there's still some of his stuff here, but he's gone. It's been over an hour and he hasn't come back. Plus, it's a four hour drive to New York. I don't see why he'd be just fucking ( Read more... )

Two weeks. I have to keep telling myself "Two weeks." Two weeks and then they'll finally be gone. You know what those jackals I live with did last night? They came home drunk, left the lights on, the door unlocked, the TV on, their dinner out on the table, and the refrigerator door wide open. I woke up this morning and it was chaos. Then, ( Read more... )

It's been a very busy week. Of the three papers I have to right, I'm probably 2/3 of the way through one of them. Luckily two of them got pushed back four days each, so I've got some extra time to work with. I also had a really productive day on one of them yesterday, so I caught up a bit with where I need to be. Today I'm breaking from that ( Read more... )

I'm back from Thanksgiving and back into overdrive mode. I've got three big research papers to write and two weeks to do it in. It's gonna be intense. Not to mention, it's my birthday next week and I just got Guitar Hero to tempt me not to work. What am I going to do ( Read more... )

My brother called me up and totally made my night. I'm on Yahoo! and on AOL holding up a sign criticizing Barry Bonds! I'm part of the galleries for all the indictment stuff. It's so cool! I'm really excited. I've been telling everybody. Don't believe me? Here's the proof:

Had to lay down the law again with the roommates. Friday night they came back loud and drunk again. Woke me up at 2 AM and I couldn't fall back asleep until 8. I think I cried a little when the sun came up and I still hadn't slept. I finally did manage to sleep from 8 to 10:30 AM after a hot shower, but the rest of the day I was really off my ( Read more... )
