The day-to-day story of my life.

quick lesson in love and groceries

Do not let your boyfriend convince you that he just loooooves eggnog and that three one-quart cartons of it in its various incarnations (e.g., Silk Nog, Custard Nog, and old-fashioned eggnog) is just barely enough; that yes, he’ll definitely drink all of it before its expiration date; that goodness! he’ll most likely drink it all [...]

Korean at 6 AM

What on earth am I doing awake? That’s what I get for going to bed around 11: wake up once to get a drink of water, and then I can’t get back to sleep. So I’m in the kitchen eating some leftover Korean and surfing the Internet. Classes are going well. [...]

Jon, foot, mouth

Jon and I were just making some espresso in the kitchen and talking about one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. The food is excellent when you go at dinnertime, but when you come around lunch, they must have different cooks or something because their food isn’t nearly as good. It’s still tasty, but [...]

handmade Carcassonne

I wanted to play Carcassonne with my family today and had remembered to bring home the Followers, scoreboard, point tiles, rules, and the River expansion tiles, but not the big bag of tiles that are the whole point of the game. Derr. Well, one can find all sorts of images of tiles online, [...]

silly string Christmas

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, [...]

an abstract and a cold

Jon and I started rewatching the Quantum Leap series from the 90s last night. We’d talked before about how we both used to love it. I never saw the episodes in order, and I know I haven’t seen all of them. My dad and I would watch reruns on the SciFi channel [...]

sleep and bellies

Darra, my software engineering partner, sent me what she’d worked up for our presentation tomorrow in class. I just finished going over it, and I’ve also finished my algorithms homework, meaning… I’m free!!! Of course, at this point I’m pretty much just free to go to bed, but it’s still nice to [...]

rose in ArtRage

I’ve been playing around in ArtRage and I followed the rose tutorial to produce this image: Just imagine, if I can produce that, what can the actually talented artists out there create! Haha, I don’t have any particular skill with painting, but that was fun to produce. The tutorial came with a photo of [...]

Mark’s beer face

I plan on writing later about how I’m becoming increasingly put off by how women are treated in Stranger in a Strange Land, but I don’t want to get into that now because I need to start on my algorithms homework soon. So, I’ll just share with you this photo I took on my [...]

paper done and slow-ass clinic

I finished my programming paper! I’ve sent a copy to Jon to review it and should hopefully mail it off to my professor tonight. After the semester’s over, I plan on releasing my programs for that class on here, probably under the GPL as I’ve done in the past. I’ll stick that [...]
