All week I was busy getting shit together for the beer-skits. Daily rehearsals and lots of tech stuff.
In the end I don't think the rehearsals helped much. Most of the lines ended up being improv'd quite a bit. Lines were forgotten, skipped, added and completely changed. Maybe we shouldn't have been...

hmm...highlights for the week:
Wed. Gave my talk on how to beat computer chess. It went pretty well. Biggest attendance yet for a lecture I've given somewhere around 60 maybe. Later I went to Piece and Ten56. Ten56 serves some seriously mean long islands. Served in a pint, nearly clear and just a little ice.
Fri. Went to kit-kat and smart bar with the lovely...

It was awesome meeting you the other night. I love your ear plugs. 
I learned something today. If you plan to give a lecture using an overhead projector apparently you need to prepare about 4 times as much material as you would if you were using a blackboard.
I prepared 2 times as much and a half hour into my talk I ran out of slides. Fuck.
I curse overhead projectors everywhere. Anyway...I also discovered that I can...

Somehow every time that I take a picture of you at an event you look really awesomely funny. It's the highlight of my photo resizing, getting to the pictures of you and giggling like mad.

oh wow. i just realized i have to drive 20 hours next weekend...Good thing i have PLENTY to listen to!! Finished my first day of my topic exam. It went fine. I did a great job of evading almost every question. Tuesday is my last one. Then I've got years of available procrastination time.
Went to an interesting talk called "Genius, Ellitism and Outreach." It was more of a discussion about sexism in mathematics than it was about the three words in the title. But...

I passed my french exam. It took 5 minutes. He picked the hardest paragraph to read in the whole book. I stumbled through and he said it was good enough.
I guess I'm a "master of science" now. Unfortunately the title doesn't come with any cool super powers (I checked).
Day one of my topic exam is Thursday. I guess I should get on that....

nerdboy2345 and hepburn's party Thursday night was a good time, even though I had to cut out early because of this damn illness and I realized I had to be up really early (for me) today. I guess I just missed the sharpie madness which is probably for the better.

As predicted P-Funk was fucking awesome. I danced like an idiot all night. A white lanky idiot. It was so good. I was joined by my officemates and Curiousity.
I discovered my poor friend T was born without a funky bone in his body. You could see him standing half asleep in the middle of a crowd of jumping, dancing and screaming fans.

Natalie Portman didn't return any of my calls, but it was still a good weekend nonetheless.
Friday: girl303 and I went out for art, beer, pinball and pizza. It's hard not to enjoy that combination
Saturday: Met more SG folks at Rodan. Always good to meet new people. It's wonderful when boobies bring people together

Whoops... sorry about that.
Don't worry, I'll send you a carton of Newports 1st of each month. That should be enough to buy your continued shower virginity.

I love this city. I hate the weather but Chicago always makes it up to me somehow.
Mon: Ping-pong with girl303. I got whooped.
Tue/Wed: Work/Bullshit
Thur: Work/Bondage Night at Exit. An old fat man ate lit cigarettes and waited on his knees for various leather clad women to spit in his mouth.
Good times...

Mmmm. leftover pizza.

Hey we haven't done the friends thing yet.
My weekend was boring: Stayed home sick, watched movies, ordered pizza and mostly did nothing. At the least the weather was appropriate.
A new week has begun. The X has returned. I'm still a bit sick but that's life and it's time to move on, regardless of what my body has to say about it.

The X left an hour ago for the weekend. I can live like a normal person for a few days. Things have been a little weird between us lately. It feels like we've been flirting a bit. But neither of us wants anything to happen.
I feel very conflicted about the whole thing. On the one hand she is an awful human being for doing...

We had something in common for the weekend. The place all to ourselves. It's cool for a little while, but now it's getting to me. Even when I go out, coming home alone sucks. So basically I tried to drink myself silly (didn't work) all weekend.
nerdboy2345:
fucking brain/penis conflict. i know how that is. USE YOUR BRAIN! but then there's alcohol, and drunk calls, and all that crap. and your penis takes over! ug, i hate that kind of conflict
"On a tuesday in the rain,
I never thought there’d come
A day if I put myself to the test,
Would I ever raise a fist
Would I just shut my mouth,
Would I just block it out?
I’ve sworn a million times
Never to be left,
Standing with that feeling of hopelessness,
Just standing nervous in the alley
When all is said and through...
