Class is technically finished this semester. One essay, three finals yet to do however...even still, today was a day to rejoice and celebrate...showered, then thought...a bath would be lovely...
So a little too much cheap chardonnay, a couple cigarettes, and no food in the stomach...turned it into an afternoon with the porcelain goddess...
But that's OK. Thursday afternoon the mailbox key dissappeared and I coulda sworn I put it back after using it last...i was still stressing cuz I really wanted this tape and it was supposed to come today...turns out Liz took it with her and stayed at mikes overnight...wew....I'm really happy to hear it so soon...
PJ played another secret gig on the 7th up in Portland. Even if I'd had prior knowledge of it I couldn't have gone...still gotta fix my car. No biggee. Even with prior knowledge i don't think I woulda gone if it was fixed...
Watched most of _The Wizard of OZ_ tonight...what a great musical and I haven't seen it for years. They showed that section from the haunting woods that was cut out...I never saw the hanging man though...almost forgot to look for it...jeesh.
Finally made it to safeway to get food...decent dinner for a change--meatloaf, baked tater, broc au grat...basic fare but i like it. :P
Yeah um I turned in my stastics project today at @11AM...had a whole hour to spare...that project worked out well...after that initial spurt of activity just before i went down to antioch, i've been able to just nick and piece at it a little at a time. had very little more to due after i gave the presentation...yay big excitement for you there, huh?
'Bebop and Brew' is this weekend...a local beer and band fest they do every year...I have never once gone nor intended to go...and this year is no exception. Christa, however, is overladen with schoolwork and on the contrary, has gone every year and is bummed to miss it this year...E wanted me to record a local band today on the campus (by the way if I say today...here for this entry at least, I mean friday...sorry bout the confusion) today but it was raining and while they probably woulda moved it into the Depot (coffee, food...etc.) (or maybe not play at all...) I left my precious portable at greg's...we were plugged digital sound into his computer...but my portable has a lousy headphoe pamp and he wasn't get good lvls and we had to go through his stereo's input and out the headphones (cuz it has no external output) and it was a little too hissy for my tastes...course with my toleration for hiss...I should run it through my eq and off my home unit, onto disk (his file he was gettin was only 1.1mb) so it'll be much better...but i have to redo a bunch of connectors and wires and it's annoying, so that I can do it right...the problem is the levels are low on the master and it's just this song playing over the PA b4 TOOL took the stage the was caught on tape almost by freak accident more than anything else...(unless it was the work of a seriously experienced taper, and I think Ed's getting there...maybe quite enough....he's made good tapes so he knows the score...but does he normally let roll three minutes b4 the band takes the stage? the show was gonna be well under 2 hours, so plenty of room to work with on a 60meter dat...) ramble ramble ramble...the point being the headphone amp is not producing enough gain.
E and I should be playing chess somtime this weekend...I'm
gonna hafta go get my D8 at greg's sometime this weekend...maybe i'll just
walk if it's nice (and I dunno bout that...rain just let up and it *was*
clearig a bit...haven't read/seen the weather report). I should spend some
time fixing my car. The essay due monday won't take *too* long...structure
final tuesday won't be really too bad...just gotta beef on definitions
and review active/passive/tense +aspect real quick like...past participles
and modals and such...the physics exam and stastics exams are both friday...physics
at 8, stats at 10:20...yaya big fun. Stats is the test I really bone up
for. Physics will mean some serious study too...but I got plenty of time
to do it so I'm OK :)
