a.k.a. "Hockey is not included in the Constants of Cool. (But only because Jerry is incorrect and American.)"

Canadian eBay guy is either redeemed and soon to be sending me my stuff, or stringing my patience on a little longer.  Shall see.

Meanwhile I've apparently built a Doctor/Dominator?  Personality under debate, past almost non-existent, but the ( Read more... )

I just finished watching the Fall and Harold and Kumar 2 with my father.  Now I'm crouched on the edge of the couch because the dog and the cat decided they wanted my seat. I'm pretty okay with voting this "Strangest Christmas Eve ever."  Anyway, between all of that and the cold that's had me somewhat out of it for the past couple of days, my ( Read more... )

Election: Good things are pleasing, but bad things reaffirm my view of humanity ( Read more... )

Huzzah for Jewish holidays that free me from classes! Anybody want to get brunch at Joseph Two's tomorrow? I'd planned on heading into Waltham to shop at the thrift store and pick up some sort of hair dyeing substance* and would love company.  Or I could go Wednesday if that works out better for people. Either way, one day I'm going shopping and ( Read more... )

So.... Is anyone going to a certain wedding on Saturday who wouldn't mind swinging by Waltham to pick up a couple of car-less Brandeisians? Sorry to be a pain ( Read more... )

Questions: Do you have a brown fedora that you're not using Saturday afternoon? Do you have one or two realistic-looking guns?  Do you have any glow-in-the-dark stars/dinosaurs/tape/etc?  Do you have free time Wednesday night and a desire to go to a mall and/or Barnes and Noble? (The mall to pick up the glowing things, Barnes and Noble to pick up ( Read more... )

Why I hate math:  I have never found anyone teaching math who taught at a reasonable speed. Simple concepts like matrix multiplication have to be gone over five thousand times with various unhelpful and nearly identical examples, despite the fact that you should be able to pick it up with a very simple general example. Meanwhile, complicated or ( Read more... )

Happy Valentine's Day, friends. Spend tonight with people you like and spend tomorrow buying cheap chocolate.

Most of you who spend any amount of time with me are familiar with the phrase "I hate people."  Generally if asked to explain, I interpret this as "Most people are stupid, and stupidity is bothersome," but the actual meaning extends far ( Read more... )

GoE: Great fun, awesome people, good times. I ended up interacting a great deal with people I always enjoy LARPing with and talking to, and I met a bunch of new, interesting people, whose names I mostly promptly forgot. If they wander around in their GoE costumes, at least, I'll remember them.  My character seems to have had a happy ending, though ( Read more... )
