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:)
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!
- 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
whinyvery nice email to big shot askingplease please please share your code with me so I don't have to implement it!

I suspect that headline style originally made these unusual choices based on the ability to drop some characters ("Mets stun Cards" instead of "The NY Mets defeated the St. Louis Cardinals"). It's certainly a peculiar subgenre.

I'll be around for sure during that week. Glad you're coming in for a while. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

okay, I don't know what that means either but there's another Speculative Grammarian article in there about "raising, c-command, and gun control".

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.

Date: 2005-07-01 04:48 pm (UTC)Anyway, as a native Texan, I have the right to not only double modals, but also triple modals if I feel like I might ought could use them, to go along with my assault rifle. However, I think only trained linguist/soldiers should ever try to use multiple modals and assault rifles at the same time.
Also, I've noticed that "doom" is +ECHO, too. "Plasma Ray of DOO-OO-OO-OO-MM-MM-MM-mm-mm-mm".
