no smooches today!

[alexr_rwx]

Nobody can kiss me today, because I'm sick. Sorry, LADIES! My father, I think, would describe this feeling as "having some gook in his throat".

However! Brett zip4096 and Martin samarin and I hung out in the afternoon, and it was pretty exciting :) And last night was for karaoke with the Let's Try This! people, at International Bowl, which is a super-interesting place with signs in various Asian languages (and, if I recognized it correctly -- graffiti in the bathroom in Korean) and delicious fried rice. A lot of songs by Journey were sung.

And Graham cola_fan found this really awesome web comic, about "romance, sarcasm, math, and language". (it's right up my alley, and I expect, O dear readers, that it's up yours too.) Here are a few of my favorites.

Summer camp for high school kids starts again on Monday -- hopefully I'll be all recovered for that. I think I prefer the kids and the python to the adults and the java, but it's always good getting more experience teaching people stuff.

Heh.

So, everyone knows about xkcd now, but you know that you beat the curve by almost two weeks, right?

Well, it was with Graham cola_fan's help!

(I'm not sure what's up with the community around the RSS feed -- such a weird vibe over there! Why do people need to comment with "lol" ? ...)

Do you mean this? I dunno, I don't use it. Google Reader's just too good not to use. Besides, as I told underwhelm, I was willing to put up with LiveJournal as a feed reader for a long time, but then one of the bloggers I read ripped into me for "stealing" her content after she saw it on my friends page. (And that was the tame version -- you should have seen the email she sent me.) After I explained to her what the sitch was, she blocked LiveJournal's IP.

What a bizarre person! "Oh noes, my content is getting syndicated onto LJ, of which I was heretofore unaware; it sucks that my blog has readers ..." ?

*shrugs* I've heard wonderful things about Google Reader, but I like having people and news all in one place. With the RSS feeds, you can't get friends-only entries, right? (although maybe Google could know your username and password and grab the protected entries as well... they don't do that yet, do they? ...)
