we suck.

We are astounding slackers. We can't even make time to comment about the current conventions going on? Sigh. I have found the sites where they 'correct' the 'mistakes' Palin/McCain made in their speeches very amusing to read. Although, when I read that he said she was the governor of the "...biggest state...", I nearly snorted coffee out my nose.

Isn't the move going on right now too? Yesterday, I think? Let us know when you're there, Big D. Big Dr. D.

I rode the bus in (as I'm going to try to do more of... it's free and runs hourly to campus), and since it's not an RGT shite bus, but rather a very nice UR BeeLine bus, it had the radio (and some serious A/C) going. The two songs I heard on the way in were, in all seriousness, "Walk the Dinosaur", by Was (Not Was), and "Before He Cheats" by Carrie whatsherface. Awesome.

Gave a talk yesterday, which went very well... still work to be done on this crap, but I'm getting there. Building the 'interesting story' my advisor says you need for your thesis. Whatever. I've read way too many scientific papers that were NOT interesting stories to know that's patently false, but I really do want it to be something solid and not just more tree-killing goodness on reprints.

A'ight. Let's get to work.
