HOLY PEPPERONI

I have found the lab that is to become my new home.

And it's not in the aero building.

In fact, it was my freshman year lab home. But since the shiny new aero building has been made, it is somewhat less used. And as shiny as the aero building is, the lab tables SUCK. They're TINY! How is any respectable engineering student supposed to work on THOSE?

Luckily, this lab has the old HUGE lab tables. And since there are less comps? Some of them have become dual monitored.

Dual. Monitors.

You cannot understand my love for dual monitors until you've got Matlab and google and like some random pdfs and a lab report Word file open. Screen real estate is GOLD.

I've also gone nearly all Portable Apps with my stuff, because AIM annoys me, the computers I can log into don't even have Trillian, and well, I like my firefox settings. Though I need to update it to Firefox 3, as I haven't used the portable apps since I was last in school. Oy. Well, when I'm not being eaten by lab report and homework and exams, I'll fiddle with it.

In other news Justin made food today. It was good and I took some of it home because I like to eat a lot. I will return his container later. I also have eggs now (I just wanted the six pack! COME ON FOOD MART WORK WITH ME HERE.) Eggs are great. I love protein.

I also have acquired an umbrella from Justin's lab, because someone left it and it was sitting for a while and I left my umbrella at my parents' house. So it's mine. It's huge and I can wear it across my back like an anime samurai.

I'm also thinking about doing a sort of weekly, "stuff I learned this week that was kind of cool" and try to write it in layman's terms so I make sure I understand it conceptually. And ya'll might learn some rocket science. Sound fun? I think it does.

Oh and I got the new Venetian Snares CD, Detrementalist! and it's kind of awesome. I'm ridiculously fond of the track "Koonut-Kaliffee" because Leonard Nemoy is sampled in it and I always imagined he would narrate my life.

You know, theoretically speaking.

DUAL MONITORS!!! SO MUCH LOVE. ♥

I JUST ABOUT HAD A FREAKING HEART ATTACK OVER THEM.

DUAL FLATSCREENS. I mean, I own a laptop and have an external monitor, but my laptop screen's been acting up so I've been DEMOTED to one screen. I need to figure out what's up with that. I just haven't had the time to run a whole BIOS diagnostic on it. XD

Technology is suppose to WORK dammit.

If I ever get a new job, I will immediately be disappointed, because I have dual monitors at work, and can never go back again haha.

That sounds really neat.
