antipedant

Today was a lazy, nice day. I nursed my sunburn for a little while, cruised the net, ate some wontons, and drove my roommate to her prof.'s house to drop off a thesis. My roommates are so neat. We got into this discussion about rooftop gardens and architecture over some wine and just had fun discussing things. We are also going to start doing some...

Did the clinic volunteer thing again early this morning. Got to leave early, though, because there were actually too many of us.

I am starting to get annoyed by some of the older clinic volunteers. They are generally nice people, but some just seem to be there for show and to banter with each other. And, they stand around and sometimes are more of a...

So, I worked nonstop trying to get the server back up these last couple of days. I haven't had that much caffeine since college. I did sort of get into a coding zone for a little while earlier today that was neat. But, I am still kind of depressed after getting back into contact with my old professor.

I wrote a letter of apology to...

So evidently, after drinking with my two roommates the other night, I sent emails to a bunch of old friends, and put up some strange, asshole comments on SG. Now, not only have I pissed off people online, but my old professor wants me to come back and work on Quantum dots with him. This evening an old associate attempted to bribe me into starting...

I sort of wrote my first spider today. And, it works! I have only been getting like 2 hours of sleep per night and coding as well as reading about programming, econometrics, and conformal field spaces. I have also had to monitor our websites while the boss is overseas. Tonight, I just watched a movie and feel like sleeping. Frenzied thinking is fun!

I rolled out of bed, switched on my laptop and have been working at home ALL day. I was thinking of heading over to the Black Cat just for the hell of it, but I just had a couple glasses of wine (and I pretty much just had coffee all day) and I am just sleepy.

Yesterday I went to a gym downtown to throw...

I did volunteer work downtown and have been coding since then. Being a tow-truck driver or forklift operator looks really nice right now. I swear I can feel my eyesight going.

Also, I dislocated my shoulder and then popped it back in after slipping on a piece of paper that was on the front steps. OW, MF!!! I hope I did it right. It just...

So I have been overhearing things from work that I don't think I should be hearing. All the little workings of DC are kind of scary sometimes. But hey, I guess I am not technically involved so they just add spice. The job looks to be a lot more busy than I thought. I spend a bit of time at the office and then have...

I got the job that i guess I wanted. Now I get to work nonstop for a good deal of money (after we release a site) and for a fairly interesting cause. It is nice being around bright people again though. I forgot what it was like to communicate at that speed. Still, it looks like a lot of long nights ahead.

Ugh...still applying for jobs. I finally had a really cool interview though. I spent like two hours talking to this guy who works with some novel software. I forgot what it was like to converse with someone else who is actually driven. I hope I get it. The potential to do something really important with the stuff is huge. I can't stop thinking about it...
