My week is going pretty well. After about five hours of solid coding, I got the long-delayed 455 assignment done right at the deadline on Monday night. Last night I skipped out on my 513 work to see "Spirited Away" at the Tivoli. It was Japanese, but Disney produced it, so it made more sense than most (if not all) anime. Today, after a mildly useful databases group meeting, I had some lunch, did the penultimate 333 videotaping session, and then worked on 513. I didn't actually get any 513 work done, but Ron Loui didn't seem to notice that we are at the same place now that we were last week. Of course, there were a lot of tried and failed attempts at getting things working. And we managed to incorporate our terraserver project into our 513 project. It's like wugrade. We do a project we want to do and we trick the cs department into thinking that its useful.
Tonight my friend Jon Polk is driving down from Purdue. I believe he's driving back tomorrow, which makes little sense to me (10 hours in the car for 20 hours in StL?), but what do I know. Regardless, its pretty cool that he's driving down here. In fact, I'm so looking forward to it that I cleaned my room in preparation. (Or perhaps I just didn't want to look like a slob.) Anyway, Jon and his girlfriend will be here through Thursday, and then on Friday I'm driving to Evansville for the weekend. But I should be back in time for the Blast game on Sunday. I just wish I'd been able to go tonight, but groceries and friends from out-of-town prevented me.
Addendum: Chris and I followed a car to Schnucks today whose license plate read "JEDI." And there was a Pokemon hanging from the rear-view mirror. This is proof that there are people in the world much weirder than me.
