All sorts of lovely stuff happened :)

- Friday night, I was still pretty messed up, sleep-schedule-wise, and I was looking forward to an exciting night in the CRB AI lab. I worked on the webserver in there for a while... but then Richard [livejournal.com profile] falun had the really good idea to watch a movie on the enormous projector-screen in the huge lecture hall in the CoC. So we did that, and a bunch of people were there (including Katrina [livejournal.com profile] spacedoutsmiles and Yael [livejournal.com profile] yaello), and some of us got lovely Chinese food delivered, yay :)

- Saturday, I hung out with Mel [livejournal.com profile] delamancha in the afternoon, and our outing included a trip to the Lullwater park thing over by Emory, and we played with the geese, who clearly love me. And Risk was played in the evening. Marty won handily. It may be the case that my strategy needs retooling for next time...

- Most importantly, Sunday was Marty [livejournal.com profile] samarin's birthday, and we went out for tasty tasty Indian food :) *performs the traditional Marty's Birthday Dance of the UP* Mr. Robinson, now that it was just your birthday, you've got permission to be in birthday-party mode for at least a few months now.

- Since I wasn't really watching the movie (PotC) so much as eating and working on the webserver on Friday night, Katrina and Yael had us over for a viewing of Emperor's New Groove last night, and that was also lovely :) Excellent, excellent film... it's somewhat curious why it wasn't a bigger deal when it came out... my current theory is that it doesn't s'much feature a character that little kids want on their backpacks and lunch boxes. The protagonists are an emperor who turns into a llama and a Gentle Peasant Llamaherd, so essentially the plot is about the interactions of two grown men... so... but, I mean, it's got Tom Jones as The Emperor's Theme Song Guy. What could possibly go wrong?

- Work. Lots of work is to be done. Yes. But now, a short nap.

Fifty years ago today, Alan Mathison Turing ended his own life. But not before saving the world and doing his thing as a founding father of computer science, amateur philosopher and biologist, champion distance runner, and all-around hoopy frood. He did not see his 42nd birthday.
