Morningwood – “Nth Degree” I need to come up with a project to do for my Flash final. My options are: A 15+ page Flash website for a toy company (Legos, Tinker Toys, Toys R Us, etc.) An interactive Flash “tool,” like an interactive map I am leaning toward the Flash tool, but I don’t [...]

The Beach Boys – “Good Vibrations” Today is a gorgeous day. Sunny, mid-60′s, lovely. I am celebrating by, um, sitting inside in the dark, listening to Marilyn Manson. I am nothing if not appropriate. Actually, I am importing a Beach Boys CD onto my computer as we speak, a CD that I will listen to [...]

KMFDM – “Light” Today I learned something interesting. But first, some background: Apes (which, mind you, are different creatures than monkeys) have their swallowing-mechanism throat parts up near the very top of their throat. Like so: (I never claimed to be good at drawing ape profiles.) Humans, however, have their throaty parts located far lower, [...]

Jimmy Eat World – “Crimson and Clover” What I (and a few others) did today in class:

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes I finally got around to measuring the inseam on the pair of pants I was wearing today, and lo and behold, I have a 26-inch inseam. No wonder it’s so hard for me to find pants. Jeezus. The shortest anything goes nowadays is 28″, and I’ve only seen that [...]

Me First… – “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” I can’t really form a coherent post, hence no update yesterday. This week is finals week and finals week means no coherent thoughts. I bought “Small Pig” yesterday, which is seriously the greatest children’s book ever written.¹ I got the paperback because it was all they had, but [...]

Foo Fighters Geh. I can’t say the talk went well, because I really don’t think I accomplished much. I will say, though, that a lot of the problems I outined earlier were actually intended. As in, the fact that he assumes we all want to grow up to be Senior Programmers somewhere? That’s true, and [...]

Foo Fighters So. I had an impromptu meeting with the Department Director that I adore because he is not only hilarious but extraordinarily helpful, and things are looking up. He said that a few of my points have been brought up by other students (wouldn’t tell me which points, though) and not even students from [...]

The Benedictine Monks – “Puer Natus Est Nobis” Reasons I can’t stand my friday class: It is a 200-level class taught like a 400-level class. I realize that on the first week’s notes it says that this is not intended to be an intro class and you should already have some programming experience. I foolishly [...]

nothing Oh, the irony that is C++. We didn’t have class last week, and we “have no homework,” except we have stuff to work on (at home!) that we are going to be graded on, but since we won’t actually be turning it in, it’s not homework! Ha! Isn’t that clever? Hence why I’ve been [...]

something on the radio I think I’m giving up on my C++ stuff. It is totally not coming together, I’ve talked to, like, eight other people in the class and none of them can get it and it’s due in a little less than 14 hours and I am NOT staying up that entire time [...]

Weltenbrand – “Fovea Diaboli” Today has been crazy! I dragged myself out of bed at noon, as per usual. Daniel left for work, and I played Animal Crossing for a while. Then I heard a suspicious buzzing noise and after several buzzes I realized that it was my phone which I had left on vibrate. [...]

Tristania Geh, nothing too exciting has happened in the past couple of days, so I didn’t have much of anything to talk about. I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather since last Friday. It was just an upset tummy, but it sucked to eat anything (just made my tummy more angry) so I was [...]

Mortiis – “Broken Skin” I have been listening to this Mortiis album non-stop since Daniel gave it to me. It’s awesome; it sounds sort of like a harder Nine Inch Nails has been combined with vocals from Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor. Totally my kind of thing. I had a nice lady come up to [...]

nothing I just got the shock of my life. Foundation Portfolio A Database Management Concepts A Psychology of Creativity B+ Environmental Science A GD Internship PA Somebody tell me how the fuck I pulled off an A in Foundation Portfolio? Huh? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? There was a bit of a fiasco involving that class [...]
