I only have one class today…. I have 3 tomorrow. I wish I could pack all the classes from tomorrow into today so I could just leave hell…. er, Rochester sooner..
I just woke up a little whlie ago, and am about to jump in the wet room. I have been screwing around with the Jabber Instant Messaging system this morning. It seems kinda neat, since it not only supports their own open-standard, open-source, XML based messaging protocol, but when you connect to one of their servers, it also acts like a ‘proxy’ to AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, etc. So you can have one unified client to communicate on many different networks.
I am not a big fan of ICQ or AIM, but I have recently been forced into using them.. :) So I figured it would at least need some geek-factor… :P
I whipped together a quick page for Drink, since the house hasn’t had a page for it in quite some time…
Ok, so I am in my room, listening to random MP3’s, when all of the sudden I hear the immense sound of a travelling group of carolers, some of which were playing brass, playing Christmas music in the CSH elevator lounge. Now, this definately helped with elevate my Christmas spirit.
Bizarroworld comes in the details. What I left out is that it just so happens that the Random MP3 playing at the time was the themesong to the movie " The Omen", which is entitled " Ave Satani". :P
Wow… Remember how I said the ‘spirit’ wasn’t quite there yet? Well, it has arrived to an extent, and now I really don’t want to go to class tomorrow. I polished off the lab report that’s due earlier today, and I am all caught up, but I just don’t want to go to class. This god-damned 8am class is killing me… It is boring as hell, and it’s during my normal sleep cycle.
The Holiday Party rocked, much fun was had by all, food was good, and it was fun seeing a bunch of geeks dressed up. Pictures will be available soon.
James pulled a power-play at CSH’s Secret Santa, getting the infamous can of corn from my parents and giving it to me up the ass of a stuffed bear. Caught me completely off guard… Now I have to think up yet-another retaliation….. :P
Ok, with the CSH Holiday Party (and Secret Santa) this evening, I am starting to feel the slightest twinges of Christmas Spirit. It probably won’t be full-force until I leave on Thursday, but I am feeling good.
This weekend was good… I went over to Trouble, Ben, and Chris’ apartment Friday to celebrate Trouble’s birthday. Contrary to My Roommate’s earlier post, I did not spend the night (but I arrived back here about an hour after his post). Saturday I hung out here most of the day, but ended up going to The Distillery to celebrate Ethan’s 21st birthday. Ironically, he decided he didn’t want to drink anything, which is A-OK in my book. I, however, took advantage of their 2-for-1 Margarita special… :)
I am just about to go out to procure my gift for Secret Santa, which I will describe in more detail after it has been deployed. :P I am kinda shaky on this one, because I am not super-good friends with the person who I was assigned…. We will see how it goes… :P
i am really tired, but I can’t sleep at all either…
….and I still haven’t eaten anything… :P
I was this (-> <-) close from sleeping through class after my alarm went off… I layed in bed until 7:30a, which is when I finally gathered the motivation to drag my ass out of bed, tossed on some clothes, brushed my teeth, and ran to class. I actually got to class 5 minutes early, which afforded me enough time to go downstairs to the vending machines and grab a beverage.
I got back, touched my usual sites and read my mail. I just got out of the shower, and was thinking about going back to bed, but I think I have decided against that. There is a party tonight celebrating Trouble’s birthday, and I will probably go to that, because I haven’t gotten to hang out with her much lately (cause I always talk my way out of going out with her).
Stomach is growling… I will probably wait around until my roommate wakes up from his childlike slumber… My guess is that I have already woken him up and he is just trying to scrounge up a few more winks before giving in… I feel bad for having this 8am class, but there was nothing I could do about it… And it isn’t like he hasn’t woken me up before.. Normally I am the one with later classes. :P
I am…. I just can’t help myself….
