medium-lazy Saturday afternoon
Jun. 26th, 2004 10:03 pm- I had a wonderful sleep... didn't get up until about 1pm, which was lovely :)
- Last night, we commandeered the enormous lecture hall in the CoC and used it as a movie theatre, as we do every so often... the double-feature was Finding Nemo (which I'd seen before, so I brought headphones and wrote code during that one) and Kubrick's Lolita, which was... really quite strange. The most bizarre bit is the look on the professor's face, towards the middle, when Lolita is holding up the fried egg...
- This afternoon, we (Richard and Yael and I) drove around the city in search of sheet music, which took us to Guitar Center -- afterwards, we tried to hit a few other music stores in the area, but they were closed. There's so much cool stuff in there, though... and I kept on thinking, "man, this would be great, if it wasn't all so expensive, and I had a place to put this beautiful electronic drum set, and I didn't suck so much..."
- When I have my own place, it will have a Music Room, and in there, there will be a drum set and probably several horns and guitars sitting out on apropriate stands, and I'll take more time to play music and be good at it.
- Tonight will likely be coding... it doesn't look like the rest of the gang feels like going out. But that's good, because everybody likes coding, and I've got a lot of stuff that needs to get hacked up. Basic proxying should be done tonight (for cs4210), and I really need to get some more work done on the Casebook stuff for research -- I thought I'd have something to show early this week, but it's really not show-other-people-worthy yet.
- To everybody who spends a lot of time being down and languish-y: stop that. Go play outside instead, dammit. *facial expression to indicate significance and gravity of this mandate*
