Today should be a lesson for you guys over at LSU. As the venerable Homer (Simpson) once said, "You tried you hardest and failed miserably. Lesson is, never try ( Read more... )

And not just in bed.  Tonight, the head guy at my work is MIA, again, (I think he's sick) and the other guy who's supposed to be here...is not here.  So now, Private Taylor has just been bumped to Captain-ship with no prior training or experience.  Unfortunately, I doubt there is a pay raise associated with a battlefield promotion.

Perhaps I ( Read more... )

Today, whilst sitting and exchanging tales of the biggest BS we ever got away with, Jesse and I were interrupted by the sound of knock knock knocking and a weak doorbell ring.  "That sounds like a serial killer's version of the UPS knock" Jesse may have said as he got up and approached with not a little timidity the closed and notably unlocked door ( Read more... )

Today is the day I realized that Friday (as in the day after tomorrow) is home to two tests (Theoretical Physics and Linear Algebra) and 2 major homework (Thermal Physics and British Romantics Essay).  Death waits.

Also scary is this trailer.  Is it just me, or are we 10 years away from Christian suicide bombers?  Though I guess I should ( Read more... )

Ok, my last post was considerably more bitchy than I realized, so today's is completely about good things.

1) Free Thursdays rock.  I got to sleep until noon, I got to eat out twice, I got to not do homework for hours longer than normal, totally awesome.
2) www.phdcomics.com is really funny, and has given me hours of amusement which would have ( Read more... )

Frank's angry at me (we're making him pay for the weeks he stayed over the summer, heaven forbid), Jesse is probably angry at me (I made him do his first cleaning in like a month), I didn't turn in my essay for the Sci-Fi class (slept in), I didn't turn in my homework for Thermal Physics (showed up late to the box), and my back hurts something ( Read more... )

 We were swamped yesterday night, so it turns out I didn't get to post.  Tonight, I have an essay to write (among other things) but I felt I should put something here.  So, in the name of saving my creative juices for the 3 pages of Blakean analysis I have to do, I decided to put out something less than original.  I personally think it's really ( Read more... )

Damn, I really want to see Monster House again.  It just hit me: I really liked that movie.  I dunno if it could stand up to dozens of repeat viewings as well as "The Incredibles", but it at least deserves another viewing.  If it is even still in theatres ( Read more... )

Ok, after a good first week or so and some successful work under my belt, I am retracting my earlier optimism about Physics classes.  The math, which I know already, is still hella hard.  So hard I can't even begin to understand some of the problems without 20 minutes consulting the book and some sort of graphing software (Excel doesn't cut it).  ( Read more... )

Yea, so I just posted, so what.  It's still boring here.  I’m reading a book called "Visionary Physics: Blake's Response to Newton", which is fascinating, but exactly as dry as it sounds.  Since we last spoke, besides read, all I’ve done is a walk around, during which I turned off some lights at unused tables, pushed in some chairs, and then came ( Read more... )
