Missed the Boat

Music right now: Suffragette City - David Bowie

My brother ended up stuck at work 'til 12, so no "Feud" for me. They took MSU IDs at the door, and each student with an ID was allowed one guest. I could've just asked somebody going in to call me their guest, but the whole point was to go with my brother. The time prior was spent going to Wendy's with Wescott and watching "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." It was pretty decent.

I've been without Palace a few days. Some weird computer problem disallows me from connecting with PYLP in either the old school program or Phalanx, yet I can get in to any other place. I also can't access the FTP for some reason, so something's up. It all started when massive lag hit everybody in the middle of a game of ASBMBJS and then the server went down...and then I just couldn't get on at all. Anybody with a potential solution, contact me.

Lab ended early on Friday, so I used the remaining time to crank out project 1 in about 45 minutes. Next up is a 2-to-3 minute newscast where we must, live mind you, play a news sounder, report a few stories, insert a PSA, give the weather and close it all up with the sounder again. Can't wait. I've signed up for 6 to 8 PM Sunday night in the lab, in the hopes I'll be the only one there. It's not me being nervous of performing while others are there, it's the ambient noise they produce and the likely questions I'll get of "HOW DOES THIS WORK?" and "OOH, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?" It's just easier when I can sit there and do it alone. Luckily I wasn't on tape for a few blooper runs of my copy. It's been my M.O. in all performance to blooper as part of a regular script. No stopping, just a seamless transition from "...French's Honey Mustard is smooth because it's made from fucking up the track over and over again."

My eye's fully cleared up. Tenative plans this weekend are for Ken & Cott to stop by...and perhaps at a later time than usual now that Wescott is trying to change his schedule from working weekends to working just weekdays. Still not sure if I'm going home anymore next weekend, but we'll see. I've been spending my time without Palace mastering "Centipede" and re-downloading "DX Ball."
