My advisor is more retarded than I had imagined, and the rest of the idiots at the school don't help things. When I went to register for next semester's classes, she didn't have my check sheet that records what credits I have, so I had to run to the office in the next building to get copies for each of us. When I brought it back, she ignored it and ( Read more... )

Today is Founder's Day at OCU. I'm still not really sure what it's about (founders, duh), but it means everything was cancelled for an hour so we could go see a boring ... whatever it was in the gym. It turned out to be basically an hour-long sermon on suffering, which I thought appropriate. On the bright side, they paid everyone $10 just for being ( Read more... )

Man, it's already well into the holiday season, and I haven't written anything for a good while. I just wrote a gigantic rant on a forum (here), and I thought I'd post it here for your reading pleasure. And so: ( a cut )

angiwyn has been doing lots of cool obitsu stuff and got me interested in figures. So, in the usual fashion, I came up with some interesting and crazy ideas. I went to Lowes not too long ago and picked up some random things that I thought might be useful. In particular, I found some chain links that make great joints. I thought I might use them for knees ( Read more... )

So, here it is:

My German class is occasionally assigned to write and perform conversations in small groups. I just did one a few days ago, but my partner and I were beginning to find the usual conversations a little boring, so we decided to switch things up a bit:

Me:
Du, Erik, was ist los, jo?
Hey, Erik, what's loose*, yo?

Erik:
Wort zu deine ( Read more... )

As I was leaving from my tutor earlier, I ran into a friend, Eric, and his friend, John. They happened to be on their way to the bowling alley on campus and invited me along. I'm not really very good, but I managed to bowl a 122 and took the game. I also made 5¢ betting on a split ( Read more... )

The latest linguistics assignment involves deciphering this country song that's been transcribed into my professor's terrible IPA. Is it sad that I know the International Phonetic Alphabet better than he does? Then again, I suppose this is designed to be more easily decipherable by people who don't really know it very well. The words are all ( Read more... )

This was an assignment in linguistics. I've found the same text online, so now you can see it too: Ladle Rat Rotten Hut
It's garbled, and the assignment is to "translate" it. Once you're thoroughly confused, take a look at the Wikipedia article on it, which includes the translation ( Read more... )

I will be officially employed tomorrow as a studio monitor. I don't start working tomorrow, but that's my official date of hire anyway. I'll start Thursday. Anyway, it seems I was specifically requested for the computer lab. Anybody surprised ( Read more... )
