My goal for the weekend? Finish my paper. Did I accomplish this? No. I enjoyed myself instead. Dim Sum and Pike Place Market with my sister, dinner at Madame K’s (best Sangria I know of in Seattle, and good pizza too) with a friend, ad today was a choir thing. They needed some people to participate in a Show Talk thing at the 5th, where our sign ( Read more... )

I'm pretty confident that, as long as I keep reading/rereading tonight, I will be fairly succesful on my exam tomorrow.  And I got through the enormous paper, so I figure the rest can't be too bad (hopefully).  But the tst doesn't seem to scary.  We're given 6 essay questions, and have to choose two to write on.  Seeing the example questions we ( Read more... )

All my Edinburgh homies are probably either out getting wasted to celebrate the end of a crazy time, or they're just passed out.  I would far rather be doing that, but they all deserve it.  Conpulsion went awesomely last weekend, and from what I've seen, Nationals went really well this weekend, so you guys deserve some debauchery and sleep.  And ( Read more... )

Well, first off, my chocolate raspberry tart thing was a success.  I had to make some recipe adjustments, as I couldn't get Oreos for the crust, and the main part called for plain chocolate and no sugar, which seemed a bit intense, but some powdered sugar later and it was fine, now it's more or less a dark chocolate treat.  It was easy, too, but ( Read more... )

Had the last Simulating Language class today, it was a review and it left me pretty confident that I can do ok on the test.  Did some grocery shopping, spent a ton of money, but I was going to have to eat bread-free condiment sandwiches soon if I didn't get some food.  Then I was going to be good and vacuum, but the vacuum started smoking, so that ( Read more... )

I think next week will be baking-intensive.  I realized I don't have much class, so...why not?  I will go insane if I try to spend that whole time writing essays.  So I might as well bake stuff.  I just got a cooking magazine, and it has some lovely chocolate recipes...there's a chocolate truffle & raspberry tart recipe that looks absolutely ( Read more... )

After some trial & tribulation, I got my paper in today, and successfully gave my presentation.  I made the mistake of deciding that I should take a leisurely shower & then take my time getting ready.  This meant I'd left myself an hour prior to the deadline to print, turn it in, and review my presentation.  Which normally would have been a fine ( Read more... )

I actually kind of like this show.  I've heard geeks complain that it unfairly portrays nerds, but I think it seems pretty accurate.  Yes, not all nerds are as sad as the ones chosen for the show, but not all pretty girls are as dumb as the ones they choose either.  If they weren't a slightly extreme example, it wouldn't be worth watching.  And I ( Read more... )

While all the rest of the world is using this pre-Lent time to over indulge and be scandalous and lecherous and drunk and wear costumes and earn beads, the Brits choose to celebrate with...pancakes.  Oh, you wild and crazy Brits, you ( Read more... )

I need ideas.  The funky colors need re-bleaching, and I'm almost out of the purple/blue/green dyes anyway.  I'm sticking with one color on the highlights, because those are a bitch to dye, but I can still do something fun on the fringe.  I'm thinking red, but I'm not committed.  Lemme know if you have any ideas...

And now I have to get some work ( Read more... )
