A Week in Review–A Photoblog. Sorta.
This may look oogly for those running 800 x 600 resolution. It’s essentially an experiment involving my Brinskter bandwidth, Bridget’s camera, and the all-eViL Photoshop 5.5. Some of the text/writing may be less clear than I intended it to be. I’m still working on it. Monday Ionic and covalent bonding… I remember some of the general stuff from tenth grade, but some is new, so I stay awake. Tuesday Something about this example irks me… That whole “let’s just stick ‘I’ back in there and and do algebra stuff to the get the answer” almost seems to me like it shouldn’t work. Dr. L hasn’t steered us wrong so far,…

Whip it! Whip it good! – A Nerdy Post
Sorry for the eighties flashback (which are, apparently, considered bad by some… I love the music, personally), but I just whipped Gnus into shape. It is now reading and posting mail on the Rose IMAP server, and playing along well with my dummy POP3 account. I’ve been working on this damn thing for two days, and finally got it working fully (minus scoring) about an hour ago. Why Gnus? I don’t like the Webmail solution used by Rose–it’s slow. I also don’t like Outlook, because it’s even slower (that slowness was what prompted me to switch to Webmail a few months back). I had fun with Gnus in my previous…

Hello, Mr. Penis. My name is Lissa. – A random conversation
Bridget and I were getting ready for bed a couple of nights ago, oddly enough, at the same time, and Bridget began to tell me about this “weird” sex advice show on late-night Oxygen. Apparently, some poor guy had called in, expressing surprise at the idea that uncircumsized men (which he was) have to do extra, ah, cleaning. Now Bridget, being a good little Catholic girl, was expressing disgust with the show in general, which is (according to her) presided over by an elderly lady that liked to give odd advice. My response? “You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an uncircumsized penis. Well, I’ve never seen a penis…

Violins, pretty voices, and nice beats
Last night, I watched the first couple of hours of Mohabbatein, a Hindi love story, and oh-my-damn I must acquire that soundtrack. The movie is very… Grease-esque (actually, that’s a bit harsh), with lots of sappiness and singing and dancing and macho-tough-looking guys and beautiful girls whose personalities match perfectly the guys that want them, but it really is rather… sweet. Besides, I’m a complete sucker for some violin, and Shahrukh Kahn’s character was putting a killing on it. Based on a simple Google/Amazon search, though, that soundtrack is going to be ridiculously hard to find. A., the chick who brought the movie over for us to watch, suggested going…

A couple more tidbits
Cuz I’m an idjit that forgot some stuff in the last one, although some are today news. Nothing so funny as the “sausagefest” bit, I’m afraid. I do wish I had a video to post of the Thorn guys separating at my sausagefest suggestion–I’ve never seen guys move so damn fast. An e-mail to the Old ManDear Dr. Car Guy, A trip to Wal-Mart this morning brought to my attention the rather rough idle of my babydaddy, Johhny. Even after about an hour of driving, the idle was rough (although it settled down immediately if I put the car in neutral, of course), and, in fact, the idle seemed to…
