a little sci-fi

For melted_snowball: Things I Don't Believe In.

Woot.

Can I get a woot?

Woot for mac and cheese, made by melted_snowball in... remarkably quick time, given it needs to bake. And he had to go to the store after we got home, before he even started with the onions.

Woot for a visit from mtffm & the_infamous_j who came to help us eat it, play a few rounds of games, and scheme for Saturday. Saturday of Toronto-dom.

Woot for the word "mortify." Just because.

And a generic woot because today was not so bad. I've conspired to get a National Instruments Labview instructor and a sales-dude to come up to the Kinesiology department so we can give them a tour. "We" being the guy who formerly did my job (as much as anyone did), the prof who was most involved in hiring me who uses a lot of Labview, and myself, so I can learn as much as I can from all of these folks at the same time. I hope they ask good questions. ;)

Oh, and it looks like I might get my speakerphone power-supply in a week. The ebay-seller has reimbursed me for the shipping and I've got a tracking number for the replacement. It's gotten from San Jose to Sacramento. My mis-sent power supply is in Toronto, apparently. I wonder if they will wave as they pass by on trucks over the prairies.
