useful day

[da]

I think today was well-seized. melted_snowball is in bed, and I'm headed that direction very soon.

This morning while I was writing my prior week's report for $boss, I came up with a few crazy ideas that had been percolating over the last few weeks. When we met, he liked them. I hope they pan out. kraig, you get to find out first.

The day seemed quite long; but not in a bad way at all. I kept finishing things and saying, "isn't it 5 o'clock yet? Oh, only 3? Weird," and so on, every 30 minutes or so. I wasn't bored, nor hyper-alert, nor over-caffeinated, nor particularly hit by NADD, just a bit more efficient than usual. Go, me.

When 5:30 finally did roll around, I biked home in the rain, which would've been fun except I realized I was running a bit late. And they went and moved one of the paths again, due to that darned sewer construction.

I got home and hopped in the car to pick up pizza before City Cafe closed. I took what I thought was the safe route, but it wasn't. But it was "closed" and passable-through-huge-piles-of-dirt, not closed-as-in-deep-hole-and-exposed-street-innards. I got to City Cafe before they closed, and they had just one pizza left. It was unlabeled.

I asked if it was chicken-pesto. John whipped open the top... and it was indeed. A lucky man, was I.

And he gave me a defective butter tart. Mmmmm. (Defective tarts don't have calories, don'tcha know?)

And I remembered to buy coffee while I was there.

And I managed to get half the butter tart home for dan, even though it kept trying to leap off the pizza box into my lap. Mmmm gooey lap-tart.

The evening was more sedate, at least for me. After a quick meal melted_snowball managed to go to chorus rehearsal even though he had been teaching at 8:30 this morning. (How'd he do it? I'm not certain.)

Meanwhile, I watched Princess Mononoke (meh. more review later) and installed Windows (ick) in a virtual environment on my mac.

And... wow, we're going to Boston in two and 1/2 days. I'm excited!

Nor do broken cookies have any calories. They all leak out through the cracks. Of course, that only counts if they come broken. Breaking the cookies yourself does not allow for sufficient time for the calories to leak out. Leakage can be expressed as a Poisson distribution, as the leaking of single calories is essentially a random process.

Re: Princess Mononoke, subbed or dubbed? I tend to prefer the subbed versions, as you'll still get the original voice actors and intonations, when often the dubbed versions, the dubbing director has no idea what's going on. Take Kenshin for example - he's a 14 year old assassin, but in the dubbed version, he has a voice like a grizzled 30 year old combat veteran. Ick.

I listened to dubbed, because my eyes sort of hurt and I was also installing windows on my laptop at the same time. :)

Generally, I agree, though. :)
