I've been oddly productive the last few days. Despite burnout, I've written nearly four papers. Of the ones due right after spring break, I just have about half of it to go. Should be a piece of cake to finish tomorrow. There's some reading I still need to do for next week, but at this pace, it won't be a problem. I'll also be able...

Yesterday afternoon, I turned on the laptop to make sure my files were in order for today, and I saw a large number of updates were available. Now, I had just had a huge update on Friday, all KDE-related packages because (from what I gather) a new minor KDE release just made its way into the repos. Now, partway through this update, I get asked...

I'm glad you liked my set! 
The new girlperson returned to Los Angeles yesterday, so we miss her. We're talking about taking a trip out soonish, and I hope it works out. We'll just have to see.
In other news, I at least know I can make up for lost time. Today, I wrote one short paper for this week, read some philosophy of mind while we did laundry, and wrote...

I had a thing goin' on with my sinuses.
So I started taking oregano oil extract, mama mia!
I kind of helps, but the caveat is that you're supposed to eat these capsules every day for 30 days. D'you think I got ripped off?

Glad to know you're feeling better man. I've been out of touch with the community for a looooong time, but I'm still alive and kicking (to a certain extent) and finally getting "settled in" here in Boston (funny how it takes a long time for something to finally hit you (what? I'm here in Boston??? What??? What happened to my family and unnecessary problems??)) and going well with school. Spring break coming up soon (two weeks) and I'm going over to Cali for a little while, but I wanted to ask you where you live in Canada, partly because I was thinking about going up to Canada sometime before the semester is over, but I don't know where to start. Unless, of course, I've been so out of touch for so long that it's not you who lives in Canada. Either way, I'm glad to talk to you again man.
How's life been for you??

Things have been hectic lately. There's been running around with a new girlperson, taking care of said girlperson while sick, and somehow trying to go to class and get some work done. Thankfully, Tulane isn't as hard as UBC, and I have the laptop so I can work anywhere. Otherwise, this weekend would have been far worse.
I've barely been online except for in class...

Good luck Mike I hope the "girlperson" gets well and you get the Panola place!
So, it's Mardi Gras day, and i feel like Slurms Mackenzie after he's all partied out. My throat hurts from too much smoke, and we missed the parades today because we stayed up all night last night and slept until 2 pm. However, the last few days were very... active, so I'm cool. I had a decent Mardi Gras experience this year. Everything went kinda...

To party all the time is not really partying. Sounds like you had a good time though friend. Which is the point, no matter what you're doing.
Can't wait to see that flick myself.

Mardi Gras is one nutty time, and it makes this one nutty city. It's something I still like about the city. I've spent very little time sober since last Wednesday, and I don't think I'm going to be sober much until after Fat Tuesday. I have managed to get a paper written, a damn good one, too. Writing a paper during the day, then parades...

Yesterday was an odd day. I heard the storm when I went to bed Monday night, but when I woke up on Tuesday, our power was on (it never went off), and I had internet access, so I didn't think it had been too bad. While driving to class, I noticed WTUL (Tulane's radio station) wasn't transmitting, so I switched to NPR where I hard...

I left my friends house when we lost power and drove sraight to the Tornado. Nothing happened though thank the master of the universe He-man! Yesterday was a beautiful one!
I'm updating this from my laptop, using my wireless connection. I've been working on it since last night, and I finally got the wireless card to work. I tried installing both Kubuntu and Linux Mint, and I'm currently on Linux Mint. However, the fix I found will work in Kubuntu as well, so next weekend, I think I'm going to install Kubuntu because I was...

Good man! Godiva is one of the blessings of life. 
I'm jealous though. We've got a chocolate (and coffee, mmmm) island in the BX here, so I get my fix... but no picking out individuals like in the mall. 
Hope you have a fantastic V-Day!

I just had an eventful couple of days. Last night, I got some hardware for my computer, a new video card and secondary hard drive. Before installing, I needed to wipe the old video card drivers first. However, I fucked up and wiped all of the video drivers from xorg. Thankfully, I had just backed up everything in preparation for a new harddrive, so doing...

I find you very intriguing. Thanks for the sweet comment on my first set. 
I had a meeting with the graduate director today to check on my progress in completing coursework and other requirements. With my transfer credits from UBC, I don't need to take any classes after this semester. As of May or so, I will be entirely done with coursework, so I can start on my dissertation. I take this as entirely good news. I'll likely sit...
