Going straight past “down” the system has arrived at “borked” status. I am referring here to the system of media copyrights as it applies to music and movies. It appears that the RIAA is no longer content merely suing music pirates, no, now they have to go after people who are legally ripping CDs too. […]
Whew, Christmas was a rip-roaring affair this year. Three nights down in the cities with old high school friends, a late night drive home after the blizzard (complete with odd car thumping sounds), a full day with Laris’ parents, a full day with my parents & cousins. Gifts, food and merriment; it was a delightful […]
Just a quick note that I’ll be taking some time off for Christmas. Laris and I have a full social calendar between the many friends and family we’re hoping to see and I don’t think there will be much keyboard time in my near future.
I wish everyone a very happy holiday season and I’ll be […]
I hate days like today. I’d really been looking forward to today, had in fact been somewhat ticking off the calendar to it and yet instead of being a happy day, it’s turned into a god awful, terrible, miserable day.
The reason I’d been looking forward to today was that I heard from an old high […]
When I tell people I meet that I live in Minnesota a not infrequent reaction is “how can you stand living there? Isn’t it always cold and snowy?”
Personally, I could handle a little more snow and cold. Besides, if I didn’t live here I wouldn’t wake up to views like these:

12:05 AM - Try to fall asleep.
06:40 AM - After restless night get up for 8 AM final.
07:00 AM - Choke down breakfast and drive to campus.
07:10 - 08:00 AM - Read through notes one more time.
08:15 - 09:20 AM - Final, harder than expected, but OKish, did better on final paper than anticipated.
09:30 AM […]
One final down (Advanced Computer Architecture, it was okish), one to go. 8 AM tomorrow morning (bleh), not that I’m counting hours or anything.
Title really says it all. In 48 hours I’ll be done with all this non-sense.
Ugh. The last few days I’ve been desperately trying to to get myself motivated to study for my two finals, but I almost can’t make myself do it. I’m just too damned tired. I’ve been running on fumes for too long.
Even when I do make myself study, the information just flows over me without leaving […]
Strange as it may seem, but after all these years together Laris and I have never had a Christmas tree. When we lived in the dorms there was no room, shortly after which we got our cats and we we’re sure they’d trash it. We probably would have had one last year except that we’d […]
