| You're fighting things you didn't know; I look at you with such distain... |

Random observations about today:
Last night I had a dream which resembled the plot of Disturbing Behaviour/The Gathering. What freaked me out almost as much as, if not more than, the dream itself, was the fact that it came with it own voiceover.
I really hate binary adders. Especially when I do, like, three truth tables for them, and none of them give the results that I want.
I got 16/20 for my PDC mid-semester exam.
The Pavillion has pool tables that charge $2 instead of $3. This is good. Playing pool really badly is amusing. Especially when Gab is so drunk, he can't play properly. And when I make like three identical attempts to shoot for the same ball, miss each time, and then get one ball in each turn for the next three to four goes.
The catch on the strap on my bag broke. I don't know whether it would be simplest/cheapest to replace the catch, the strap, or the bag.
Some weird guy sat next to me on the bus, despite there being a spare seat directly opposite me. And when I didn't respond to anything he said, he shifted to sitting next to somebody else and rambling incoherently to them, instead - despite there being a seat empty just across the way.
A guy carrying one of those tennis ball flingers sat in the seat opposite me.
Mm: Do you have a dog?
Guy: No, I'm trying to teach physics to kids. And I'm going to use this to demonstrate that if you have a longer radius on a curve, then it results in further distance.
Mm: Simple lever. Probably should try going through wheel via lever.
Guy: You do physics?
Mm: No... Well, I did it in my HSC. I wasn't really very good at physics.
Guy: What were you good at?
Mm: Computers.
Guy: Really? I'd've picked you as an Arts type of person.
Mm: I like art... I'm just not very good at making art.
A couple of days ago, I went to the doctor to have my foot looked at. He took one look at my foot, and reached for the liquid nitrogen - with little to no warning. Mum described his expression as a "crusader".
I might be taking The Country Boys ™ (Justin2 and James) to the city tomorrow or Wednesday, in order to show them some of the city - that isn't the George Street pubs, since that's pretty much all they've seen of the place thus far. James's parents live in Maitland - he's living with his grandparents at the moment, but doesn't really know the city very well. Justin lives in Woy Woy - and returns there every night. Oh dear.
Andrew2 types well:
Shoulder Angel says: was anything of note covered in the lecture?
Andrew2 says: just went trough the slides
Andrew2 says: a fwe things i didn't know
Andrew2 says: but basically the operation of a hard dick
Andrew2 says: damn disk
Andrew2 says: that was a serious typo
Shoulder Angel says: ...heh.
I can't stop listening to The All-American Rejects' It Ends Tonight. It's got a really random chord progression, the guy can't sing, and it's a really irritating track... But curiously addictive.
I had a sudden mental image this afternoon of the phrase "bags under the eyes" being translated into a cheap clip art grocery bag with "iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" inexplicably floating above it.
Roland is fast on the uptake:
Shoulder Angel says: do you know what "RTFM" means?
Roland says: no
Roland says: *silence*
Shoulder Angel says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rtfm
Shoulder Angel says: so progsoc produces a large volume entitled "TFM"
Roland says: OH WAIT
Roland says: I USED TO USE THAT ONE ALL THE TIME
Roland says: I'VE JUST NEVER SEEN IT IN LETTERS BEFORE
Roland says: LOL
Shoulder Angel says: ...
Roland says: *Smackhead* *Smackhead* *Smackhead* *Smackhead* *Smackhead* *Smackhead* *Smackhead* *Smackhead* *Smackhead* *Smackhead* *Smackhead*
Shoulder Angel says: oh dear
And Shaun is cute when he's confused:
Shaun says: why's it so hard to understand girls?
Shoulder Angel says: *stifles a laugh*
Shaun says: umm?
Shoulder Angel says: *grins*
Shaun says: *is lost*
Shoulder Angel says: i know, dearest. that's what makes it so endearing
Shaun says: *thinks back to your puppy who doesn't know what's going on comment*
...snip...
Shaun says: one day I will figure you girls out
Shaun says: one day... *clenches fist*
Shaun says: *waves said fist*
Shoulder Angel says: lol. what would you like me to attempt to explain? ...i make no guarantees...
I think that's enough random things I've been intending on mentioning except not liking to have a three line post about. Bye.
