Debating: is $50 too much for an event that might suck, and will rock no harder than a standard (not $50) weekend night out?
Oh yeah. Kamerone and I *rock* the kitchen.

@Kungpao I hope there’s a story behind that.
Two images found around Durham today. The first is for the cammies reading this. Believe it or not, this is a barbershop. Where the Lords of the Night get their hair cut, perhaps? The second is from downtown while walking the dogs: Oh yes. Beware of rockers.
I hate my main project. It’s constantly showing me new and exciting ways that people can unexpectedly fuck up data.
Nevermind. Twitter ‘block’ functionality is borked. Fully a minute to block in the good case. Fully a minute to crash and die in the bad.
In the event that the person pseudo-twitter-spamming me is an actual person with perhaps useful connections, should I follow them?

Interesting series of paintings from Polish cross of Dali and Giger.
Django, I love you. I swear this just keeps getting easier.
@thedz omg that’s hot.
Screw the agenda. Today is MWWNS (Make WritingWeb Not Suck) Day. I feel better about work already.

Chtulhu + giant robot anime + RPG. Oh my god I want this.
Screw this, I’m going for a walk.
And today dives into the crapper. Ah well.
Friday is taking too long to get here. Also, is it bad that I have a personal programming project to work on while on holiday?
Hockey is awesome. Hurricanes for the win!
Still cannot get on to AIM/gtalk…it’s been 8 hours, what gives?
Off to a hockey game for Kamerone’s company’s holiday party. So much better than my company’s…
@kungpao Obviously because your fellow students are party animals. Or like to see women invovled in an activity that dimly looks like sex.
@kungpao I don’t think the robots understand the concept of social justice too well. Might be a sticking point, long term. :-P
I want Real Ghostbusters Season DVDs. Why does this not exist?
@kungpao Yeah, so long as it doesn’t conflict with *mine*.
@the_patches You know, I have *never* been grabbed for jury duty.
Wondering what would be necessary to make the switch over to being an HCI or Usability engineer…
@kungpao Yours must be like water then. Silly students…
(Which is not to say that I don’t freaking love the season. :-P)
Off to do more Christmas shopping. Huzzah, oh capitalist holiday!
I have been kicked out of my apartment so that my girlfriend and my mother can conspire on Christmas.
I have two dogs snoring on my lap right now, nevermind the laptop I’m resting on them.
@kungpao The devil’s own, apparently.
Note to self: check out mezzo and kuartet.
…and he’s playing the banjo… BADLY.
Dear god…we have an octogenarian comedian at our christmas ‘party.’

It’s not in Durham, but it’s something.
Huh. Radiohead makes me sleepy nowadays. Who knew?
Am I waisting company time by doing work-related things that are not explicitly work?
@thedz I could drink the kool-aid faster if I could, say, see your source code…
My god, but Django is fun.
The laundry! It breeds in captivity!

A discussion of DTrace, and amazing tool for debugging things made of rubies. Sadly, support for it in python seems limited.

A fabulous photo shoot by Viona, a fabulous photographer.
@lobsticles A bunch of bands, actually, collectively part of a genre I’ve just been told is called “Grime.”
There’s something vastly entertaining about angsty UK rap.
That there del.icio.us tree is lookin’ might ragged. Aw shucks, must be gittin’ on towards prunin’ time, pa.
@kungpao What’s up with that promissory estoppel?
