jedusorLast night I stayed up till 3:30 AM writing my honors seminar paper draft on the biology of HIV/AIDS, which ended up 12 pages including glossary and references. It remains to be seen whether it's what the teacher was looking for, but I worked damn hard on it.
Today was the Halloween party at the library. Laura wore this wonderfully skimpy ballerina outfit, the tutu of which kept coming off. Kim... I want to like her, I really do, and I think we could probably get along fairly well, but the very first thing I ever heard her say was how "gay" something was as an insult. I know it's commonly accepted slang in high schools, and I know for a fact that she's not homophobic, and I've heard other people I like use the term, but... I guess first impressions really do last. I can't seem to get over it.
Laura, Zak and I started an academic group, the purpose of which was never really decided. Laura is the official History Geek, Star is the Art Geek, Tom is the Math Geek, that kid whose name I can never remember is the PC Computer Geek, Rain is the Drama Geek, and I'm Dictator because I couldn't decide between Biology Geek, Mac Computer Geek and English Geek. DDR was played, various fruits and vegetables were carved, Chipotle was eaten (not, however, by me, as I refuse to support McDonalds in any of its ventures, no matter how delicious), and a really really bad Rob Zombie movie was watched. I decided about two-thirds of the way through that I didn't need to waste any more of my life on it and left, soon followed by Rain, who was having some really bad imagery issues with the movie. (There was some naaaasty shit in there.) We wandered into the kids' section and curled up in the globe chair, which I really need to take a picture of because I've spent so much time there. We talked about many things and had an amusing conversation with three little kids. Then Rain's mom drove me home, where I found the rest of the family getting ready to go out to Boo at the Zoo. I don't do zoos, so I stayed home and dicked around on the computer. I haven't had the time to waste time on the Net in a long time, so it was kind of nice. Not that I really have the time to do it now- that Darwin's Cathedral summary is due on Thursday and I've barely started reading the book, plus I have French homework and the English group project, and my honors seminar presentation. But nobody wants to hear about my homework, so I won't elaborate.
Now, pictures!
This is Link in his little Halloween costume:
This is my Emergency No Parking sign after the FKBs finished with it:
Perhaps I should explain that. The Flying Karamazov Brothers have this bit in their show where they ask people to bring up random objects, and then they have the audience cheer for each object and pick the three most popular for one of them to try to juggle. People who know about the "challenge" beforehand bring the weirdest objects to the shows. This time, there was a roll of toilet paper, a rotten pumpkin, a phallic squash, a stuffed Barney, and my Emergency No Parking sign, among other things. The sign, the pumpkin and the squash were chosen. The champion juggler gets to make three modifications to the objects. He broke the end off the squash, then bent my sign in half, then bent that in half again (that counted as two because he tried to juggle it between folds). It was amusing to watch, but on the other hand... they killed my sign! At least I got it autographed, and it'll be a nice mantelpiece story for my grandkids. Sigh.
I need new icons.
