Pfhew, the semester is over and I’ve been visiting family. I went to a reunion for my father’s side of the family today and there was a pretty hilarious time when one of my cousins passed out a present to all the little kids: about 15-20 cans of silly string. O God, the carnage. We met at a church rec room since nobody’s house is big enough for all of us to get together, and the entire floor was covered in bits of gooey, colorful string. Kids under five were chasing each other and chasing adults and sometimes the adults would confiscate cans and then go after each other with it. Some of the kids didn’t understand the need to shake the cans first, and the adults would demonstrate this and then promptly get sprayed by the kid; talk about biting the hand that feeds. The mess was kind of crazy; everyone was going around with big shop brooms and little kids were grabbing handfuls of the goop to toss in the trash. I got little speckles of pink silly string embedded in my shirt, which is now in the wash.

Programming, espresso, and grumbling.
Hopefully it washes out of teh shirt ok. That stuff can stain :(
On an unrelated note, I was glancing through your tag cloud and noticed “twilight” and was momentarilly slightly dismayed, because I thought you were cooler than that. And then I realized it was “twilight is ridiculous” — with 5 topics!
I was right. You are cooler that that. :P Twilight bashing, win!
Haha, I am kinda lame with respect to Twilight because I have read the series and I enjoy it, though I realize it’s lacking in writing style and is way too cheesy. :( Hence my “Twilight is ridiculous” tag.
