Mine.

I am shamed.

I was recently sent a link to a good friend's (Dora! Who else?) blog and found it to be a fascinating read with a good look into her quirky nature (<3~). Unfortunately, mine own lacks frequent updates, witticisms and interesting content to an outside source.

I have, in the span of writing the above paragraph, have decided that this is okay.

This is my blog, bitches.

First day o' school.

Calc class on Tuesday at 10:50 (thank god not a 9:25 class again)....and he gave us a test on Friday.

Break from 12:05 - 3:05.

The school computers that I am currently using do not have Flash installed, reducing me to piddly things like blog posts for these hours of forced entertainment. Will have to check the engineering building with older machines that would have gotten more attention and thereby might have Flash.

Karl is playing IVAN. Snurggle already acquired a Holy Banana of Oily Opriv and thereby increased his stats. Snurggle might maybe live a decent IVAN life.

Cameron's classes happen during our breaks. It is sad.

Dr. T is on sabbatical, Karl and I already miss him. We have plotted writing a Captain's Log for Stardate Week 1-9 (the duration of the semester for which he's gone) and putting it under his door so when he gets back..he can yell at us for making a mess of his office via the door.

Two of our classes are taught by one teacher, on alternating days. So we effectively see Dana every day of the workweek but Friday. It will be confuzzlin'.

I managed to clean the kitchen, my room, and the bathroom before school started. Good thing, too.


I want a kitty.

Amusing.

A TED talk that Karl showed me, more specifically, from 11:26 onwards. I'm making a note here to remember it for the future, since it's really cute.

3 years ditzy and running.

The good news is that my night vision isn't all as terrible as I though it was. (It felt pretty bad.)

The silly news is that it took oh, three years to figure this out.

There is a special secret ninja setting on my headlights.
That I was not aware of.
To my knowledge, I had two settings for headlights: 'really damn low' and 'highbeams'.

On an epic WaffleJourney to the Museum of Nature and Science, or rather, on the way back from the epic WaffleJourney to the Museum of Nature and Science, it was dark, and I was driving my traditionally painful night-drivey way, and Cameron, our resident car expert, was like, "Whaaaat is with your lights?"

And proceeded to rummage my glovebox for the manual and discover that if I -click in- the headlights shafty thinger, I switch the 'spin knobbly bit upwards' high-beams mode into 'normal nighttime headlights.'

APPARENTLY. FOR THREE YEARS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING. IN THE DARK. WITH DAY LIGHTS.


Driving back from Karl's was the most unpainful night driving I've ever done. I could seeeeee.
