Oh! During my computer science class today, we got to visit a bunch of the cool CSE faculty in their native environments. I met CJ Taylor, who does a lot of awesome stuff with robotics. I could blather on about all the cool projects he has going on, but then some people would probably stop reading before they get to the important bit. His assistant? Anthony Cowley. Just one letter away… Suffice it to say, M and I discussed Good Omens over lunch. There was much mourning over Johnny Depp and gnashing of teeth over the HHGTG movie. Disney: Let’s not and say we did? Give your budget to Terry Gilliam and let’s make a movie that won’t be a travesty. It’s not too late!

Yay, my Design teacher is so cool. I explained my plight, and although we weren’t able to get back all the work I did, he gave the entire class an extension to Monday, so I’ll have plenty of time to catch up. So *hearts* for Mr. Coviello! Huzzah!
W00t! Massachusetts, I totally forgive you for landsliding John Kerry. So what do you have to say about that, Bush? Are we now going to have TWO weeks in the year dedicated to the sanctity of marriage?

I’ve spent 8 hours last night and tonight (not to mention an uncountable number over the weekend) on an intricate Islamic-inspired design pattern for my Fundamentals of Digital Design class, and now I’m getting a message that simply says “Cannot save illustration.”
This is not happening.
Edit: AND I’m coughing up a lung AND my ungrateful wretch of a printer is being streaky so when I try to print out the illustration to prove I did it, it looks wretched. SO NOT IMPRESSED, GODS OF THWARTING ORDINARY DECENT PEOPLE. Have I suddenly become Job without anyone telling me? NOT COOL.
Happy 02/03/04! Schnoogles to Daddy for pointing it out. :D
“How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back? There are some things time cannot mend.”
For everything else, there’s MasterCard.
Ah, another day, another primary. I don’t imagine Dean will do too well in any of today’s states, as he’s conserving his resources for MI and WA, but I guess it’ll be nice to get that over with. *sigh*
Meanwhile, I made an icon! Mmm, pirates. Who wants it? :D
*happy, happy sigh* Gravy, I love FTPing to the UPenn Fine Arts server. It transfers 10Mbps. So much love.
Wow. I’ve been in Philadelphia too long. I looked at the weather forecast and thought “Woah! 34oF? It’s warming up!”
Happy Year of the Monkey! *snerk*
Oh, and I stand corrected. Dean does not write his own speeches. That would be a 26-year-old playwright named Joe Drymala. And now you know!
