What happened to my carefree homework-less lifestyle? Suddenly this week everyone decides that it's a good time to assign homework, and I end up with a project due Thursday, and two homework's due Wednesday. I'm one who never lets class get in the way of college though, so it just means I'm going to have to do some creative time management... as usual. Homework at 3 in the morning... awwwww yeah! It also means that I update my website, as of course I don't do it when I have nothing going on, but wait until I really ought to be doing other things instead.
It's been an incredibly busy few days, very little of that to do with schoolwork however. I've gone to three 21st birthday parties in the last week, including this one where you'd never guess that room was so dark that you could hardly see anything. It's also why the photo's not centered since before the flash goes off it's impossible to tell where you're shooting at. Actually I could blame it on artistic license, which sounds so much cooler. I'm sure the waitress meant for it to be out of focus and halfway cutting off the birthday-girl because it added dramatic flair to the photo. Yes, that explains it.
At one of my other friend's parties they had peanut butter pie. Yes, that's right, pie made out of peanut butter!!!! (four !'s so you know it's got to be good). Is there nothing that peanut butter can't do?
I also saw Riverdance on Saturday which I really liked. To begin with I didn't realize it was possible for a human to make their foot move that fast, and more importantly, I didn't know a foot could physically endure moving that fast and not explode or something. I wonder how well they do at DDR...
Speaking of which, my roommate threw a party at our apartment Friday. Not a big one, but it was fun, and involved a bunch of DDR. I'm surprised how timid so many people are at even playing it at home. I can understand not wanting to try it for the first time in an arcade, but just playing in front of friends would seem to be a lot easier. I also learned long ago to let all the new people play first no matter what, as after I (or anyone pretty good) play, then it's next to impossible to get a newbie to try it since they're so intimidated. I've always thought of myself as somewhat shy, but I guess it is somewhat telling that I had absolutly no qualms about playing in an arcade in front of dozens of people when I first started. I hardly play at all anymore (I broke a pad in September and still haven't replaced it, so I just have one working one) but the new eye-toy version is pretty cool.
Qualms is a fun word.
I also of course watched the Decent, er uh, Superbowl, mainly for the commercials which weren't that great this year. I did like the cat one where it looked like he murdered it. I have no idea what company it was for though, so not sure how good of an ad it really was. I miss the dotcom bowl, THOSE were good commercials. One of my favorites was for ETrade.com where they had an old guy and a monkey dancing. And at the end they have on the screen ?We just wasted two million dollars. What are you doing with your money??
The Hubble is coming back down due to budget cuts. Or as seen on Fark: "There once was a spacecraft named Hubble, whose finances fell into trouble. When its budget runs dry, it will fall from the sky and break up into nothing but rubble." It's produced some absolutly amazing pictures in it's 15 year life span, and hopefully a new space telescope can be put up again one day.
Finally, speaking of amazing pictures, here's what snowflakes look like close-up.
And because I forgot to upload it, here's the February 1st update.
