See, the mouse is a metaphor for classes...
After taking care of one mouse, I discover that there is at least one more (it darn well better be only one more). This one is wizened in the ways of the trap used on the first. And further attempts have failed. I'll resort to the mighty spring mouse trap, and possibly even heavy doses of poison ( Read more... ) -
The Mouse Chronicles
Over a week ago: I was watching South Park on my computer, and a little mouse poked its head out from underneath my monitor. My first reaction: "I have a mouse!" It crept out onto my desk a few times that day. I first tried to contain the mouse, make a blockade on my desk once it was already there. Then I tried to smoke it out, using air ( Read more... ) -

News to me
Stargate SG-1 is not going to have an 11th season. Somewhat of a relief, mostly because the last two seasons didn't have Richard Dean Anderson, which to me defined the series. I just hope they end to story successfully. But that 200th episode, that was amusing ( Read more... ) -
Grand Jury Summons
A little while back, I got a jury summons in the mail. Went to the courthouse yesterday, in the hopes of convincing them that students aren't real citizens. Fairly easy, that part. The not so easy part had to do with entering and exiting the building. Some security fellows out there just don't know how to be friendly. Or listen. I shall ( Read more... ) -
Last semester at Tulane
Boy am I bad at updating. Whenever I'm in front of a computer, my urge to post goes out the window. But I shall do it anyway ( Read more... ) -
Live, from my new motherboard
I was finally able to get my computer up and running, but this seems like a good moment to complain about computers. Who was it that first came up with the idea of making delicate, expensive computer parts, and then decided that the forces required to install them were close to, but in a very slightly different direction from, the forces that can ( Read more... ) -
Sandrock and Chatanooga
This past week I have been away, on a trip contrived by my dad and Renee. Camping at Sandrock, looking at all the climbs I can't do, exploring a cave and taking some fairly nice pictures, swimming at a waterfall with even more pictures, and a day on the town at Chattanooga. Including a long stop at our favorite gift shop, Dragon Dreams (one of ( Read more... ) -
Lightning can't strike twice...or can it?
The wedding was a two-for-one deal, and many people showed up, even a few I know. I wish I could have spent more time with them, instead of sittin around the hotel with the people I drove up with, but it's what I get for carpooling. I did go ice skating for the first time, and fell while trying some tricks. Apparently this weekend was the time ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I seem to have developed a cough. Nothing big, but annoying, and a week before I go off to cough at a bride and groom. No other symptoms, not even a sore throat; it does itch, however ( Read more... )
