I am trying to write a paper on this article, but the article is composed of concentrated boredom. It is an academic sleeping pill. I was sitting in the living room (in a little patch of warm sun) with my laptop trying to read and I just kept finding myself like...staring at the carpet. Because the carpet was more interesting.

*remembers reading articles like that*

As for the videos, are they streaming online, do you have the files? If the latter, then they're probably encoded in some format you don't have the codec to play. Your best bet is to use VLC to play them, since it can open just about any video format. Best of all it's free and a small download. Hope that helps :)

They're streaming, which kind of rules that out. *sigh* It kills my wifi connection when I try, too, so I'm going to give it a try up at the lab tomorrow. If I take down the entire library network, surely I don't have to turn the paper in, right? ;D

Not sure I should encourage you to kill the library network ;)

Shame the videos are streaming. I'm guessing that access is restricted to students only?

I am soooo happy I'm done with school! I hate reading those stupid mind numbing articles. I mean really, I think what they are trying to teach us is actually how to stay awake through anything. Oi!

Also: LOVELOVELOVE that song!!! And come on, it would be really sad if no one got the reference.

OMG no bragging. ;) Most of the stuff I'm reading now is okay, since it's my field and I'm actually usually interested in the subject, but...sometimes there are some major duds in the bunch.

I really hope people get the reference. I may wear shorts and sunglasses and a lei when I give the presentation, just to emphasize things...

XD You too!

I totally feel like recycling/sprucing up a very very very similar assignment I already did for another class. *sigh* Profs usually frown on that, don't they.

They only frown on it if they catch you...

I'm pickin' up Good Citations, she's givin' me the ex-citations... - that's going to be in my head all day, you know. XD

Yep, currently there and doing that. My carpet isn't even that interesting - the curtains, on the other hand...

Yay, I won't be the only one singing Bizarro Beach Boys songs all day. ;)

Oooh, you have curtains? I don't have curtains, just blinds. Not even as interesting as the carpet...
