moving and packing
For the past couple of days, I’ve been packing up stuff at my old apartment and moving it over to my new one. This has led me to the conclusion that I have an obscene amount of crap. Pots, pans, dishes, food, clothes, shoes, books, DVD’s, CD’s, bed, coffee table, sewing machine, various [...]
q implicates not-p and Disney princesses
I’ve gotten completely moved in and am enjoying my new place. I signed up for cable TV and Internet, which has been great so far. It’s nice not having to go to Todd’s for most entertainment. With the cable, I got their DVR feature, which allows me to set up series recordings [...]
England in 1241 and character replacement
Todd still isn’t over his borderline pneumonia and bronchitis combination, so we went back to the doctor yesterday. He was prescribed a shit-ton of medicine, including Sudafed, Mucinex, an inhaler, and a few prescription drugs whose names I can’t remember. He’s slowly regaining his senses of taste and smell, which is great because [...]

petit fours and shell swapping
My logic circuits class starts at 10, but I was up at 7 so I’m just hanging around the ol’ apartment. Jess came over last night to hang out and eat some linguine, and it struck me to make some petit fours using my new mold. They turned out really well, but I’m [...]
new theme and ribs
New layout up! It being Friday, I had only one class today, so I spent a couple of hours of my free time making this new theme, Flower Boxes. Yeah, really uncreative title; I can’t ever think of pretty, artsy names for my themes. The blossoms overlaying the boxes in the header [...]
layouts and surjective functions
I want to design a new layout that’s more graphics-intensive and overall prettier than the last one I put up, but I take forever to design a theme and tweak it just right, and I don’t have that kind of time. I might this weekend, especially if it’s ass-cold outside and I don’t want [...]
snow and bunnies
…And here’s that promised new layout. When I headed to class this morning, the city was covered in snow, so of course I brought along my camera. The photo used in this layout is of the steps leading down from my apartment. I’ll probably continue to tweak the styling here, but the [...]
stupid Chase, stupid physics lab, neat Lorina
Argh, I’m very frustrated right now. My current bank has a very poor online interface. After seeing the Chase online interface that Todd has, I decided to switch my checking account over to them. I have a pretty busy schedule during their office hours so I didn’t want to go in person [...]
waffle time!
I’ve recently rediscovered Eggo waffles. Whenever I ate these as a kid, they reminded me of cardboard and were equally hard to cut. I bought a box of the strawberry ones the other day, though, and haven’t had any trouble with taste or hardness. They’re actually pretty good. In other syrupy [...]
back in Rails work
Classes have started again for the spring semester and I’m off my co-op, so I’m back in full-time classes. I do have to pay the bills, though, so I’m working for one of my professors. He called it “undergraduate research,” and it is kinda that because I have to learn a lot of biology/bioinformatics stuff [...]
V-day food and Taco Bell
Let’s see, what have I been into. St. Valentine’s Day I got chocolates and a stuffed polar bear from Todd, and he got a card and dinner from me. The fish, asparagus, and rice I made turned out all right, but it definitely wasn’t the best collection of food I’ve ever made. [...]
busy but feelin’ good
Yesterday flew by because I somehow had a lot more work to do than I thought. I worked out on Todd’s bike machine then the two of us went to have lunch with Bentley and his girlfriend Erin. She seemed nice and was definitely not the quiet little thing I was worried about; [...]
vampires and prayers
I was in a large house with my sister and some man she was living with. She had apparently agreed to become a vampire a long time ago but that was just now going to happen. The man was the head vampire and he kept laughing about how horrible it was going to [...]
a Powerbook and a list
Todd ordered a refurbished Macbook off of Apple’s site the other day and he’s anxiously waiting for it to get here. Not only that, I’m anxiously awaiting its arrival. Is that because I’m a sweet girlfriend who wants to see her honey as happy as a kid on Christmas morning? Well, partially, [...]

race cars and cliffs
There were a bunch of people running around in this field with a lot of bare dirt and dry grass; it was summer. There were also a lot of race cars driving around trying to hit people, and it was as though I was in some kind of crazy adventure movie. A car [...]

stupid Fedora, grumble grumble
Eric S. Raymond knocks Fedora, and I’m all about it. I hate that bloody distribution but I see it everywhere. How it got established as “the Linux to give to newbies” is beyond me, because it’s ridiculous trying to install anything in a Redhat-based distribution. Even the non-newbies still choose Fedora, which [...]
a big eff-u to FedEx
I am so pissed off right now. Todd’s Macbook was supposed to come today, so I agreed to go to his place after I got out of my one class today and wait for it. I got there a little before 11 and just now came back to my place. I missed [...]
fungal database project
Work has been going all right. I’m converting over an old Perl web interface to Rails. It seems so crazy to write a Perl web interface for a MySQL backend from scratch; the guy didn’t use any kind of framework. The project deals with bioinformatics, specifically a fungal database. The database itself is huge: 1.4G. [...]
do not trust your packages to FedEx
Another day, another lie from FedEx. Eric, Todd[1], Chris, and Bentley are all hanging out at Todd’s right now. Someone has been there all morning. FedEx claims that Todd’s Macbook was attempted to be delivered, but this time, not only did they not knock, they also didn’t leave a sticker on the [...]
