Good things:

+ Had breakfast with family

+ Walked around outside and around town a bit

+ Finally figured out why one of [community profile] drakonlily's OCs is named "Araby" and on a related note have decided that Dubliners is a great book thus far.

+ Had a very tasty cookie with my lunch and might have gotten hit on by a cute barista girl.

+ Have finally figured out Yahoo Pipes so now I can tame my RSS feeds. Actually, I just like playing with things. XD

+ Behold the next step of the costume. I need to fit that thing, as it's a recovered piece from this hideous shirt. This will require me to see if the two sewing machines in the house are actually functional and getting over my slight fear of them (I've sewn everything by hand up to this point). Looking at various sites and getting advice as far as going about it. I'm going to practice on some other things before attempting to work on that waist cincher.

+ Got the backlog of links for [profile] ff_fanlisting taken care of.

+ Started making some BSG icons. Because it's about frakking time.

Bad things:

+ Tragedy nearly struck as some Trojan buried itself in a component of my text editor. Which meant I had to uninstall and reinstall once I'd purged the computer of it. Considering I nearly depend on that text editor, this was annoying.

+ MORE RAIN IS COMING. Since my workplace's building is still, ah, drying from the last flooding this is somewhat worrisome. Then again, can't be as bad as poor Iowa.

+ Nobody is home tonight! I may be making phone calls.

Alright, so I forgot it was Monday again, and my RA roped me into sitting with the group for dinner. Which is ok, but I really just wanted to read some Watchmen and have a quiet dinner to myself before devoting myself to programming. But she's cute and within my age bracket, so I tend to cave. Goddamn brunettes.

So our faculty fellow Mr. British was there, which is fun, because I know a couple Brits and I get their sense of humor. Also he's intelligent enough to talk to me about well, my work. No offense to the girls or my RA it just isn't their field, is all.

The point of this story was Mr. British, upon sitting down informs me that he apparently talked to one of the Aero professors about me, because he's working on some gaming related project for our department. I'd heard a little about it, actually knew someone that almost got hired on with it, fun times. But I haven't gotten, well, recommended or talked about much since going to college, as I sort of kept my head low and tried not to fail most of the time here.

So I guess this means I have to quit being lazy and drop by Professor D's office already. Considering I have Brit mention. XD

Also, it was nice to be able to talk to an adult excitedly about how I'm designing an educational module and for him to get excited with me. My god do I miss work. Realized that this past week despite keeping mostly on top of things I've hit that kind of mood. Can't help a brain imbalance, sometimes, I suppose. Going to purchase some dark chocolate, then.

Now I must program. Enough putting it off.
