My linguistics paper is finally done. If you want to know way more than anyone needs to know about connections between Breton, Welsh, and Gaulish, look no further. 9 double-spaced pages, including the figure… brain no worky. I think my favorite part was when I was able to reference 5 sources for a single sentence…

I forgot to post about the outcome of the Summer Housing Lottery on Thursday night, or the regular Housing Lottery last night. I guess I’ve been too busy, what with my mom being here and all. Over the summer, I’ll be living in one of the first-floor doubles with Ben Mitchell, on the front of…

I finally saw The Matrix: Revolutions on Emery’s big screen. I’m glad I went into it with such low expectations, because it meant that I could actually enjoy the movie, in spite of the clichéd dialogue, plot holes, and pervasive illogic. My summary opinion: The Next Generation:Enterprise::Matrix:Revolutions Exchanging good writing and characterization for eye candy……

I think the issue with Essie Mae’s is largely resolved. The title is just a metaphor; I always eat my eggs scrambled. Also, I love it when my random playlist is eerily appropriate. For the beginning of the story, see Part 1 and Part 2. Leslie still likes me, Joyce still likes me, and Marie…

Scientists are proposing the Picard Topology as a model of the universe’ cosmology. This is so awesome. “Candle in the Wind” from Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John

Well, here’s my first remotely angsty post in a long while. There probably won’t be another one for a while, I hope. Rev up your consolation engines, because you won’t have to use them for a while… I try to break the LiveJournal mold that way :o). This is a story that began here, after…

These are seriously getting weirder and weirder. Maybe it was something I ate? It started with my sister and I taking the train to New York (again). This time we had to change from a diesel to an electric train in Allenhurst, the station before Secaucus. I know that’s not the real station order, but…

Heh. I always want to call them that. I’m trying to decide what my humanities elective for next semester will be. Under the new not-PDC system, I’ve fulfilled that requirement, since I’m in a transition year. I just need a class that I can take pass-fail that I will actually enjoy. I was not a…

I am reading my assigned paper for this week’s Advanced Perception seminar. It is about developing an optical character recognition (OCR) system capable of reading the majority of hand-addressed mail processed by the postal service. They just used the term “levels of sortation” to refer to how much location detail you can get from an…

Bah. It looks like I’m finally going to have to start shaving more than once every two weeks. I’d post a picture of my 10 or so whiskers as proof, but it’s surprisingly difficult to take a close-up but in-focus picture of your own chin. It’s not fair. If I’m going to grow facial hair…
