done list

[trochee]

(why is it that the future uses the infinitival tense? we don't call it a "will-do list" or a "might-do" list or -- perhaps it would be the most appropriate modal -- "ought-do list". Anyway, this is a list of what I did, simple past:)

• revised paper for resubmission tomorrow (they only gave us a week to do revisions, and none of us had any time)
• finished Collins replication, part 1
• started collins replication, part 2
• went to lab meeting, listened to CSE grad student discuss her research (opinion mining)
• planned further about chapter 5 (currently masquerading as a class project): looks like we'll bootstrap from a 5xRT ASR system
• discussed previously mentioned data problems with advisor; will re-run the easy parts with larger data set.
• overscheduled self: next week I am up for (1) possibly going to [pretentious NE U] for a planning meeting and somehow at the same time staying here for visit from [expensive W-Coast U] team
• overscheduled self, part 2: scheduled to be dog [and possibly pony too] in dog-and-pony show for corporate visitors interested in my research area
• wrote a whiny very nice email to big shot asking please please please share your code with me so I don't have to implement it! Actually, I think it was quite polite.
• looked at getting a helmet so I can go scoot with imtboo

Am now just waiting for Collins, p. 2 to finish so that I can log out and go home. I'm done! I'm going home without internet. Until tomorrow, peeps!

I've been ODing on live journal today as my procrastination. Grades are last-chance due at 10:30 tomorrow and I'm still grading the final. My treat will be that (if I'm still awake) I get to post one of the entries in my head. (Musings on age and interest...)

I'm thinking I may want a comic fest this summer--I bet you have some I should read. (See my friends for a review of Persepolis<\i>.)

go work.

and yes, you can read anything in my collection. I've now got it all out on the shelves, loosely organized by genre. You'll probably want to start near Strangers in Paradise but I imagine there's a wide variety of others as well.

I haven't read Persepolis. I hear it's good; the art and the themes remind me somehow of Joe Sacco and Art Spiegelman. Only Muslim, Iranian, and female, instead of Jewish, American and male.

Because they are ordered by Becky-interest so that things near SIP will be guaranteed to delight me? Or because I don't want to carry my collection across the country and why not re-read everything?

(and I'm working.)

because you may like things that I consider like SIP. But then again you'd probably like Akiko and I don't consider that much like SIP. Ah, well, you'll just have to come over and hang out and read!

Wheeee! That will be fun. Especially if it takes awhile to get the cottage (or if I have to hunt for lodging).
