El ano nuevo?

Happy day-of-midnight-makeout-sessions to everyone.
Also, happy oh-look-things-are-still-the-same-another-365-days-damn-you-Bush day to everyone tomorrow.

Also, also happy new year’s to a certain someone who I wish I could be with tonight ;)

Yeah, I think that about covers it.

Blah, I need to be more productive this break.

Card games

I’ve started work on a new Supernatural card game.




It probably needs a lot of tweaking before it’s balanced, but meh.

I’ve also doubled the number of available cards in the Cluster card game, and revised the rules to make them work a little better (hopefully). Any feedback on the game (if you play it with your family or something) would be amazing and muchly appreciated. Please?

Graphic cards for the STD card game are coming soon. I need to get up the motivation to find gross pictures of STDs online (or draw my own).

So yeah, that’s really all I’ve been doing lately. Break is boring. Blar.

T(i/hy)me Cube?

I’m sure everyone reading this has read (or at least heard of) Time Cube.
Well, this site (Thyme Cube) popped up today. I know absolutely nothing about it. Nothing at all. Especially not about where it came from.
*whistles*

Also, happy vertically-challenged-labor-force-and-horizontally-challenged-overmind-relaxation day to everyone.

Also, WTF AHHH the season finale for Supernatural season 1 is a cliffhanger (kinda)! I stil think they could have done a better job with it though. They should have cut to black and then done credits instead of cutting to black and then coming back for about 20 seconds to pan over the primary cast, unconcious, before going to credits. I think that takes a lot away from the impact (no pun intended) of the scene. I dunno. I must say though, nothing else in the entire season was able to spook me as much as that scene…. talk talk yadda yadda BAM. I think I literally jumped. Awesome awesome… I love it when TV can do that.

The world of KoL is going decently, I guess. Doing a SC run to get pulverize, which should be awesomely awesome. Whee. I’ll probably follow with a HCT AT run to get phat loot. I don’t know.

I should go photographing again. I’m starting to feel camera withdrawl and it always makes me unhappy.

Break foo

So I bought season one of the TV show Supernatural, and I’ve more or less been watching it all day. It’s actually a really good show.

Um… so yeah. The past few days have been lots of fun foo with friends (pizza, random outings, etc). I really should try and be more productive this break though. I dunno.

Also, since I probably won’t get to make an entry tomorrow, Happy Medically-Mysterious-Birth-and-Fat-Man-Glorification Day to everyone.

Edit: 6:30 AM… it was probably a *bad* idea to watch ~15 hours straight of Supernatural.
Blah.
*tries to go sleep*

Grade anti-angst

Avrim (my algo professor) and Sri (my algo TA) are officially the best people ever.

You got 145/200 on the final. This brought your overall average to
84.55. This was a bit below the A/B cutoff of 86, but your TA reported you had good class participation so this nudged you above the line and you received an A in the course.

Happy holidays,
Avrim Blum

So um yeah… I guess everyone else must’ve bombed the analysis final as well, because I ended up with a B in that class (higher than expected, given that I couldn’t do 3/8 of the final and bsed most of the remainder). And apparently my grade on graphics lab 3 (the ray tracer) and the final were high enough that it pulled up my mediocre homework grades (and lab 2 and 4 grades). Everything else was as expected (my two photo classes and numerical methods were all A’s).

So I did far better than I was expecting. Yay.
It also means my overall QPA went up by 0.01 points, which is awesome.

I have an intense craving for chocolate chip chocolate muffins and (plain) croissants right now. Maybe I should run to Safeway and get some… or I could wait until my parents get home (dad’s at chemo right now) and go to Costco… although that’s perhaps a few too many croissants/muffins.

No photos because I haven’t been taking any lately. I really should. Meh.

*bored*
