donedonedone
So I've handed in my thesis. By the time I did, I had been awake for over 40 hours and I couldn't care less about the quality of the thing. Which I suppose is a good thing, as- like most everything I've ever submitted- I personally think it's crap. Fortunately, I'm not the one who gets to mark it ( Read more... ) -
thesis bitching
Alright, so I'm into the last 24 hours I've got to finish my honours thesis. So what happens? I break my friggin' computer ( Read more... ) -
police business and Japan indecision
So I got to ride along with a police officer for 4 hours last night. My internal anthropologist-slash-police observer (ie. Blair) is so very happy now ( Read more... ) -
people are stupid: empirical evidence, pt I
So in lieu of talking about anything interesting happening in my life (which is still strictly in academic mode), I have decided to provide some examples showing in detail why people are dumb, dumb, dumb. Because it's fun.
- while excavating at Grand-Pre a few summers ago, I was asked by a passing tourist if we had put "those rocks" in the pit we ( Read more... ) -
why I should stick to wangst and procrastination-posts...
Huh.
While I'm perfectly aware that posting on a livejoural without adding any sort of "friends-only" protection to it is an invitation for anyone to read it (well, *duh*), I have to say it never crossed my mind that anyone outside my friends list would even *bother* reading my posts. So imagine my surprise when my mom asked me this evening if I ( Read more... ) -
thesis interruption post
Really short post as I'm madly trying to get some things on paper for my thesis, rather than just organizing things in my head- which is what I've been doing for far too long.
I love Wikipedia, I really do. I can usually find helpful information on most anything so long as I avoid entries on controversial topics like evolution, since I know they ( Read more... ) -
Montreal update
I'm writing this using a touch-screen computer at a Second Cup in downtown Montreal. The touch screen takes a bit to get used to, but it's rather entertaining. :) I just finished my interview for the JET Programme, which was at McGill, and now I'm hanging out until my flight home tonight. I've promised

world records and Washington trials
Just 2 quick notes as I'm at work.
First- anyone in the Halifax area going on the World's Largest Pub Crawl tonight? I'm flat broke and really couldn't afford to, even if they hadn't sold out of tickets, but I'm curious who might make it into the record books. :)
Second- some lawyer from Washington D.C. called my dad up yesterday to see if he was ( Read more... ) -
...the hell?
Um, quick mathematical note. Why is my computer trying to tell me it has downloaded 8.57 GB out of a 8.54 GB file, and is still only 99.8% done? The math....it burns us, my precious!
Also, I forgot to mention Chariot of the Gods by lucidscreamer in my last post, which is a Yu-Gi-Oh! fic. Yes, Yu-Gi-Oh. And not only that, it's AU. With mecha ( Read more... )
