Cranky. Old. Man?

Today was gorgeous, decided to put on a dress because it's never warm enough to wear a dress when I want to. XD So glad I sewed the missing buttons back on only a week ago.

So I promised a recap of the highlights from this weekend. Here goes. I'm breaking it up by section as this will be long.

( on ASN, socialization with boys, and doom )

( on antiquing, the historic downtown area, river smelling, and the best weather ever )

( on movies, or the international buffet of viewing pleasure )

tl;dr version: Drank with Aeros, have hat, watched movies. Weather is good.

Also, cool links:

- Documentary fetishism in Battlestar Galactica
- Surf Jams Joker
- Cheap goggles for steampunking

So is that why I'm such an asshat? I'll admit I've gained a fair bit more tact than I used to have, but I keep thinking things would just be better if I kept my damn mouth shut and enjoyed what I could get. Being truthful actually never made me feel any better, and I'm sure it's not making others feel any better. Makes me wonder, what is worse, being a coward and keeping people happy, or being brave and having everyone pissed off.

I'm inclined to want to take the middle if at all possible. But then, you can't really do that all the time.

Well, now that the cryptic philosophizing is out of the way, I slept last night! For a full night! I slept so hard I didn't dream (which in my experience is a good thing). If this happens again I may need to seek professional help. Ick, I hope it doesn't come to that.

History exam tomorrow and since I plan on spending the afternoon studying and staying away from the internets I figured I'd get today's little babble out now. History Gast handed me a nice article about alternate education, but unfortunately it seems a little too fluffy for what it should be (I may disagree with how higher level classes are handled, but freshman engineering is supposed to scare certain people away). Still his low-tech ways of literally handing me a clipping in class are precious. XD I may have to go to his Friday office hour this week, I haven't had much time to work on my project.

Caught a bit of the eclipse last night, though I've no earthly idea how, considering when I went to bed... part of me wonders if I hallucinated it. XD

If you see me online at any point before, say, seven pm, be sure to give me hell for it. I need to study. And return library books.
