Members only 109: "That's Badass, man!" Read the title in Jeff Bridges' voice, for the TRON reference, and because that's totally something he would say. It's something that was said to me today, while I was skating my big carbon fiber slab over to the shops. There was a professor (I
Members only 108: New Music falling from the sky I am a huge fan of finding new releases by artists I like, or discovering new artists and albums I haven't listened to before. My listening style is very album-based, I listen to albums all the way through, in order, as god intended (no hate on playlist people,
Members only 107: Still no more damn pictures. Today was pretty good, though as the title says, I still don't have any new pictures to share. I didn't end up going downtown yesterday, and I was too busy doing a bunch of other stuff today to get that done. I'm writing this
Members only 106: I can, yes, but will I? No. Today was all over the damn place, but in a good way. I've taken to describing my current life situation as "having too many balls in the air", meaning I simply am doing far too many things at the same time, juggling them, and failing (not
105: Blocks and Ping-Pong balls The title photo, as well as the videos I will hopefully figure out how to embed, are from my freshman year of high school, which was so long ago, but seeing them reminded me of my long-lasting love of building stuff, so I'm going to yap about those
Members only 104: This Changes Everything This Changes Everything is a song on the TRON: Ares soundtrack, and I'm naming it mostly for the reference, but that entire soundtrack is SO GOOD. The modern TRON movies are unironically carried by their soundtracks, Legacy with Daft Punk, and Ares with Nine Inch Nails. They'
Members only 103: Yuck. (Yuck is a great song by CharlieXCX, but it isn't what this title is about) I've been sick the last couple days, as I've mentioned in previous posts, and it's largely been better today, I don't have a sore throat,
Members only 102: Hmm, yes, the sound of ripping duck tape. The title today is about my (very janky) new curtain rod, which was hung up by myself and a couple of my residents using tape, which was an obviously and horrendously terrible plan. It worked for about 28 hours, and then after I got home from Wind Power today, I
Members only 101: The Grocery Store!! I made it to the store today, thanks to my good friend Chip. It was my first time going in more than a month, and there were a number of things I needed to grab, so it was lovely. I got a longer curtain rod, which is really nice, and
Members only 100: Fire. Alarm. The fire alarm went off this morning at like 7 AM. It was not a good time. We got everyone outside, and then as soon as the building was evacuated, the alarm stopped. I must commend ccpd for their response time, it definitely lasted shorter than I expected. Apparently there
Members only 99: "Just some bad communication" This title line is about a whiff Cody and I had today. We went to the new TRON: Ares, which was actually quite good, and then on the way back he pulled me back to campus with his bike (me on skateboard). It mostly worked great, but one of the
Members only 98: Or maybe we just chill out? Today was surprisingly chill, for having two labs, 7 hours of class, and being on call (so far, I should say). The maelstrom of assignments that I had been under has passed, it seems, and while I likely did not survive with an A, I did survive while turning everything
Members only 97: Optimizing Poorly This title is about two different things. The first thing is my life, wherein I have always been "poorly optimized". One of the things about my brain is that I'm very good at finding places where I could optimize, "matters of seconds lost on the
Members only 96: Bed?! I'm writing this post at 10:28 PM, which isn't that early, but is significantly earlier than I have been starting these in previous days, and if I can get this one done in 20-30 minutes, I can be in bed for maybe 8 hours!
Members only 95: Yikes. I'm writing this one at 11:23, because I am fully incapable of keeping promises to myself, and am a professional procrastinator. I had both a pre-lab and a lab report due tonight at midnight, and we're not even done with the lab report as I&
Members only 94: "Yo, can someone slime my Grandma?" The title of this one is a bit said by one of my residents, about how it would "provide them with character development". I know they were joking, but it was still an funny bit. "Slime" is a modern internet term that means "take out&
Members only 93: 2 In The Morning Again?! It's 1:54 AM right now. I need to get better at time management. The main reason it's 1:55 as I write this is that some of my residents and I set up my room as a theater and watched an episode of Our Beloved
Members only 92: IT'S BEDTIME SHIT. I missed my post yesterday (the 2nd), and it is honestly because I simply didn't have time, but I also just forgot. I had some homework I needed to get done before the deadline, so I got it done, and then was so exhausted and ready to
Members only 91: Due tomorrow? DO tomorrow! Title of this post is a direct quote from a friend of mine in one of my classes talking about the homework for said class, which neither of us have even looked at. I am fully flying by the seat of my pants right now, and just responding to things
Members only 90: For the Love of the Game! "For the Love of the Game" is a phrase that's worked itself into the modern lexicon, and is one that I actually adore. It essentially just means 'doing something because you enjoy it', but the vibe and connotation of "For the Love of
Members only 89: Doin some Ranchin' The title of this post is about Slime Rancher, one of my very favorite video games. The sequel, Slime Rancher 2, recently had a massive update that arguably completed the game (it was the 1.0 update, before last week the game was 'early access', meaning it wasn&
Members only 88: 2000 steps :/ I only have 2082 steps on record today, which feels kinda bad. I spent almost all of today sitting at my desk, locked in on homework, and the only times I got up to go do something (those things being eat lunch and dinner) I didn't walk there,
Members only 87: "It's a charmed life, but we still experience the range of human emotion" It sure has been another dayTM. I'm super tired again, which I suppose might be good. I haven't been having trouble sleeping recently, because I've operated with so much less overall sleep (I think I've averaged 7 hours for like the last
Members only 86: Yipes "Yipes" is a thing I've started saying recently, because I think it's funny. It's kind of a combo of Yikes and a looney-tunes-esque yelp sound that's in my brain. I use it frequently, but the origin is bowling with my
Members only 85: Not looking forward to lab reports This title is in reference to my classes today. I have two labs back to back, 12-3 and 3-6, which is going to be rough.
