Oh, wow, it's snowing in Houston on Christmas Eve. That's pretty awesome, since the last time it snowed here was back in '94, if I remember correctly ( Read more... )

Well it's about time...today I actually was able to enjoy myself with (gasp) other people! I got up at a reasonable hour, got dressed, SHAVED, and went to my student teaching thingamajig ( Read more... )

THAT was the best UT football game EVER. Amazing comeback by the Longhorns from a 28-point deficit to win 56-35. I am proud to be at Texas, yessir.

Thank god this week is almost over, not over yet, mind you, but almost. From the looks of things, it's been a crappy one. I probably bombed my CS 337 test on Wednesday - but maybe everyone else did too, so I might be safe anyways. The 352 homework that was due Thursday ended up not working after 3 hours of staring at a computer screen going ( Read more... )

Yep, I finally broke down and went to the apartment people to submit a maintenance request for our sink. The guy actually came to fix it the same day! Imagine that. It's a good thing I wasn't there when it was unclogged, because Sean told me that the smell was so bad he gagged. We put some Liquid-Plumr stuff down the sink and hopefully that ( Read more... )

Yeah, there's a curious pinkish yellowish water-like liquid standing in our sink....it's probably clogged up and we're not sure how to fix it, being the incredible handymen we are. It's too bad, since I can't cook baked potatoes without it.....and I'm a man who loves his potatoes ( Read more... )

I'm so goddamn tired. It seems like every day for the past two weeks I've been working on at least two different assignments for two different classes. Oh wait, it doesn't just SEEM that way, it IS that way! The next time I sign up for 3 CS classes in the same semester, God should just smite me right there for being so incredibly stupid. I'm so ( Read more... )

Yup, today was my 20th birthday. And, what better way to spend it than.....being....in class. Hard to believe I have left behind the crappiness of being a teenager and crossed over to the wonderful world of semi-adulthood. Funny, I don't feel older....I guess I'll start to feel older when the electric, water, and cable bills come in and I have ( Read more... )

Today was a very productiveday. I went to Sam's to pick up some stuff that you can (and/or should) only buy in bulk.....it's too bad Sean's car air conditioner doesn't work, otherwise it woulda been a perfect day. Really hot up here in Austin, but I guess I should be used to it by now. Anyways, when we got there we walked in and the Sam's ( Read more... )

Yeah, Sean just moved into the apartment, which makes the place complete. It's too bad, though - Byron and I have been making fun of Sean ever since I got here, which means it's been around 4-5 days. Running jokes are great, provided that the person who is the target of the joke always reacts to it. For example: While shopping for various ( Read more... )
