And the weather today was so bone-chillingly nice! Life update: it’s finals, and I have two papers due tomorrow night (tonight?) at midnight, and two exams left after that. BUT the GQ concert went off pretty well, I did tolerably well on my computer science project I turned in last friday night (things [...]

Go

Watching the two guys in the coffee shop playing Go today, I was overcome with the urge to learn to play the game, and eventually (through hard work and many disappointments) to become proficient at it. This urge undoubtedly stems in part from my own personal history with the game: my dad [...]

I’m learning LISP for my artificial intelligence class, and it is certainly something of a headache. It’s somewhat slow going, but very interesting and quite a bit different from “normal” programming languages like C or Java. Perhaps the coolest thing is how you can redefine any function you please. This means that, [...]

I’m at school! It’s awesome! I’m very busy! But my room is awesome, Hunt and I have a piñata (named Javier, say hi to him sometime), Ruth’s entry is a lot of fun. A capella madness is in full swing, with entry sings last night (three and a half hours of [...]

GQ had its spring concert and it went absolutely swimmingly. If you couldn’t make it, you can at least check out the totally awsm pictures that Sofia took. Because of scheduling silliness with the music department we were singing in the black box theatre in the ‘62 center, which is literally just a [...]

Knee deep in stuff to do, but taking a bit of a break to jot down a selection of what I’ve been seeing/doing:

The snow that’s already fallen gives everything a [...]

So I’m back at school, and that part of the semester is in full swing. That of course means little time to pay attention to this thing, so you’ll have to forgive me. This weekend is going to be fun-filled and busy, too: after I finish my final paper for 20th Century Music [...]

I found out via Brotherhood of the Bean that for the mere pittance of less than Eight American Dollars (plus shipping) you can have a real live coffee plant delivered right to your door. Given my love of growing plant inside and coffee, this seems like an ideal choice for me. There is [...]

I’ve been pretty down all day worrying about the paper I spent all last night working on and passed in today.  I did a quick read through before class to make sure there weren’t any huge glaring errors and was really sort of shocked to discover how little it is possible to say in six [...]

I spent almost the entire day today holed up in the coffee shop, working on an arrangement for GQ. Despite a somewhat bizarre pain in my foot after going for a run last week, I am suddenly resolute to actually do pre- (post-?) season conditioning with WUFO in hopes of possibly playing A in [...]
