New year, new entry
I figured it's about time I posted here. Over break, I was working on this new year page, but never got around to finishing it. Well, I guess it's as finished as it'll ever be.
Which brings me to point number 1: I've been really good at starting things and not finishing them lately. Like unpacking, putting up a new shower curtain, cleaning my bathroom, writing a paper, etc. I think this point was going somewhere.. but. Umm... I'll think about it later.
How's the Ph.D. life, you ask? It's been pretty good so far. Been really busy, but not too bad, I suppose. My new office is in FGH 314, if anyone cares to stop by. I used to think that the hall leading down to our office was just a dead end or an emergency exit. But lo and behold, here we are.
Pictures? Hmm... I have a grand total of five pictures taken in the year 2005. (You'd think since my camera fits inside an Altoids tin, I would have it with me more often.) Here are two:
Apparently that's what we old people do for fun now. Make bananas foster and play Mah Jong.
Some cool stuff to check out online:
- flickr.com (and some of my pictures are here)
- Windows XP "PowerToys"
- And of course, if you haven't already, check out all the new stuff at Apple!
Well, since I had a point #1 above, I guess I should at least have a second point.
Point #2: There comes a time in every man's life, when he finds himself going out to buy a toilet rug to put in the bathroom. And then he plays some Mah Jong, and feels old.
*edit - half an hour later. perhaps this can be Point #3*
I'm listening to Howie Day's Stop All The World Now album... special edition! I was pretty excited - four bonus tracks! And then I was just thinking about it... aren't "bonus tracks" really just the mediocre songs that didn't make the cut the first time around? Oh well.
