*heavy sigh*

And then there were four.

Gotta just keep reminding myself: my primary platform is “Anyone But Bush.” Preferences within the Democratic candidates should be second.

History will not forget you. In a way, you’ve already won. You gave backbone to the Democratic party. You shaped this election. You stood up when no one else would. A large percentage of the Democratic platform started with you. Your mission was to change America, and you have.

It’s not that Howard Dean wasn’t ready for America. America wasn’t ready for Howard Dean. The fight is not over.

As for me, I guess I’d better give Kerry and Edwards another chance. Meanwhile, I’ll still be wearing my button. Howard Dean for America, not just in ’04.

I dreamed that I woke up one morning and my hair was fluffy and gorgeous and thick and went down to my knees. My first act was to make Princess Leia buns. Hmm, I must have done something right. I’ve noticed that in my dreams, hair symbolizes status and general good karma. *ponders*

In other news, this makes my morning. Zombie! Kicked puppy! Evil chipmunk ninja mastermind!

Whee! And at 3AM, my Java homework is more or less done! Now, off to work a bit more on my Design stuff. Yaaaaaay, college. Props to Alexi and Tanner for keeping me awake. Apologies to Tanner for giving him a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup as motivation, as he’s probably suffering post-sugar rush withdrawal now.

Highlights: I named one of my arrays “IHateJava” and tested the majority of my methods with an object named “figwit”. Because everything is funny at 3 in the morning.

I skipped Math today to work some more on my Communications paper, which prods bootay. After all, Stovall essentially teaches right out of the book, so missing the Math lecture once a blue moon isn’t too bad. The only really negative thing is the missed opportunity to add to my “tool” count, comparable to the “um” count from my British History class a few years ago.

Bwaha, I get to overuse the word “torrid!” Thank you, Dove Chocolates, for highlighting such an excellent word in your ad! Torrid, torrid, torrid. I’ve used it 6 times so far in 3 pages. Muahahaha! Also: licentious, lustful, endorphins, naked, strewn. Good words. But not moue, alas.

In other news, does anyone know where one can find a clip of Andy’s “Gollum does Grease” bit from Conan?

Oh! Aren’t you proud of me? I lasted through the entire Valentine’s Day Weekend without making a single “my precious” joke! I *so* deserve Nutella for this.

Mmm, Nutella.

Wow! It’s probably going to end up taking me less time to write my Communications paper than it did to find my ads in the first place! This thing writes itself!

Quote of the Day, discovered while looking back through my communication notes:

“Monkeys are dumb. I had a very unpleasant 3 hours with a monkey once.” –Prof Messaris

Okay, I can tolerate our new Lupin. I might even go so far as to say that I’m pleased. But until you shave that moustache, I will still say that you remind me of the Duke from Moulin Rouge.

(And who is afraid of Jack in the Boxes? Can we make fun of them?)

This week just keeps getting better and better. I was able to attend the other math recitation, no problem, but things just went downhill from there.

Due Wednesday:

  • Film Noir presentation

  • Massive Java homework assignment that I just found out about today, as I had misunderstood the teacher’s announcement about the due date. I thought it was due a week from Wednesday, but no. Guh, if not for this, I would be able to handle the rest of the workload, but this is the last straw.

  • LOTS of extra work and catch-up for my Design class, because the work I did over the weekend is totally lame. And I’ll probably have to be working in the Fine Arts lab because Illustrator 9 sucks. How can Illustrator have gone through so many versions, yet not added so many crucial basic functions until version 10?

    Due Thursday:

  • Massive Visual Communications paper, which I have tried working on yet don’t know where to start.

    Thursday Night:

  • Trojan Women rehearsal, for about 2 hours. AT THE SAME TIME AS THE JAVA REVIEW SESSION, *deathmaimbitestabkill*. I’m going to email Jim and ask him if I can leave early.

    Due Friday:

  • Java midterm, which will require lots and lots of study.

  • Film Noir mini-paper

    Edit: Not to mention, scheduled perfectly to coincide with the WORST PERIOD EVER, REALLY BAD CRAMPS EVERY DAY THAT DO NOT RESPOND TO ALEVE, ONLY CHOCOLATE. I WILL BE FAT, FAT, FAT AND UGLY OUCH OUCH OUCH PAIN STAB hobble hobble *fallover*
