gmail is down.

i'm at the lab at ten to eight, wondering if i should go out to get yakisoba while i write.

I'm very proud of myself today: I broke the block I was in, and I wrote three subsections of background. My hope is to take advantage of this momentum and actually finish a draft of the background chapter tonight (!)

I spent two hours today running down problems wtih bank transfers, and there seems to be something weird about my entire X session right now -- it keeps freezing firefox. And XMMS won't start. It's like the whole computer has bent itself on "no distractions for you".

but -- haha! I have found distractions aplenty. Among other things fished out of the P section of the stacks, I found Phonetic Symbol Guide by Geoffrey Pullum and William Ladusaw. It's like a little dictionary with a funny letter on each page. I love it. The introduction (available through Google Print) is fun for typography geeks like me.

it's nice to know that in some distant way we are slaving away at keyboards together. Next time you're visiting Seattle, we'll do a study break. ;)

Oh, man, I'll need that. We've got Dennis' leftover rain pouring down outside, and I want nothing more than pho.


I'll be in Seattle 8/12 through 8/18 or so, perhaps a day or two the following week (two weeks in PNW, about two dozen people to see).

maybe that first weekend. I'm likely to be in Palo Alto for the rest of it (I'm going to an internship at Bosch from 8/15-9/2). So the schedule might be pretty tight; if you can't fit in the time I will understand.

But [livejournal.com profile] imtboo will be around -- I bet she'd be happy to see you!

Together but separate.

that's how I have it tagged, actually. "together". Except also apart.

I just found an icon website and added a bunch. Especially since everybody's making "ashitaka" jokes, it seemed like the time.

He could be visiting the electricity pylon number collecting page. Or worse, he could be creating another page to honor electricity pylons.

Oooh. That's actually a really cool site ! I love the pylons by my house !
