That's what I'm talking about.
Not too much to say today. I'm feeling a little blue this evening...I think it's that classic combination of hormones and children dying in front of their parents in the novel I'm reading. Does it every time.
Also, I'm beginning to get nervous about work. I heard those fatal three words from my boss today—"...whatever interests you..."—that mean there's no work to be done. Too much more of this and I'm going to start reforming their certiorari system. (The Court handed down decisions on nearly 2000 cases last year, whereas SCOTUS heard 88 this past term. And we have 150 times their population.) And as with every summer of schooling, I'm starting to worry about "grades." (They weren't always in scare quotes.) I don't think I studied enough for my finals...gah.
While I'm kvetching: Have I mentioned that my shower gets exactly five minutes of hot water? I'm used to luxurious 20 minute showers, so this is a big change for me. I mean, that's barely enough for one full sing-through of Surabaya Johnny.
At least I'm loving my book (despite the death), and walking around an old city, landing in every bar/cafe I can find, is definitely one of my favorite ways to spend an evening. Tonight was the tastefully tacky Salon, where I got a hot chocolate as thick as pudding topped with whipped cream. And this afternoon I watched the pilot of Glee, a new Fox show, off of a faked US IP address. I accomplished that by connecting, via a VPN client, to the Yale library network (which I usually use to access library internet resources from home). Hulu only lets American computers download videos, so I had to go incognito. I fooled Hulu. I fooled Google (which finally let me go to google.com instead of google.si). But I did not fool Fox. They were too...savvy.
This is great - please keep up the photos with roughly drawn arrows. Also, maybe you SHOULD reform their cert system! They'll thank you for it later.
