(no subject)

I had my photo shoot for my senior portrait today. It went quickly. I'm not sure if any of the pictures will turn out good, but oh well. It's really just for the yearbook. I suppose my parents could order pictures if they wanted to. But the shoot itself was free. :)

I then decided to shoot some of my own photos, which I'll post later. And halfway through I realized that the iso sensitivity was still set at 400 from my fire pictures at JitW! No wonder everything wasn't as shiny as it could have been. I fixed that and took more pictures.

I had an appointment downtown, and when I came back I went to lunch. There were cookies so I was happy. And I had meat for the first time in a week. Huzzah!

Then I walked with levana_b down to the library. I went in and pulled out the computer. And I had gotten an e-mail from Ben saying I should bring 2 or 3 relevant sources (but fortunately not the whole 17lbs. Yes, I told him about that.) But I was already there, so I e-mailed him back and asked if I had to make that trip back...

Only to find that I didn't have my assignment for anth 451 with me, and I needed to work on it. So I had to go back here anyways.

Now I'm in my room. I redid the outline and now I'm working on filling in all the random things in my intro. I put most of the methodology into the next chapter, though, so I don't have to write it all out yet. I'm smart like that.

Of course, there are people working on the roof of the building next door, playing loud music. They were doing it this morning, too. Luckily they started at like 9:30 and I had woken up at 8. (Actually 7:30 but I went back to sleep since the alarm was set for 7:55)

And my back still hurts and I have a knot in my upper left arm. A knot big enough that I can actually feel it. So I guess I'll go looking for a massage tonight. Though unfortunately I also have to do my presentation for Anth 322 on the Mac and PC users.

The current to do list, in the order they need to be done:
Anthro thesis intro
Write Gerianne about the classes I'm petitioning for counting towards my major
Anth 451 homework
Anth 322 homework
Eat dinner at some point, theoretically
Get a massage
Study for the GREs
Start writing up the JWST sources I'm accumulating
Write Stern about my progress when I actually have made progress
Start working on the JudeoBlogosphere project
Your mom*

Wish me luck!

*Assuming your mom is more homework, which I doubt any of your moms are. If you were born from a thesis then you probably have more problems than I do.

Working on the Mac vs. PC presentation

It's actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. I'm just going conceptually, defining the community, its characteristics, the "other," etc. But I'm rereading the interviews as I'm going along, and I found this wonderful gem from levana_b.

Me: Have you ever tried to convert people [to using Macs]?
levana_b:I converted the rest of my family without meaning to, but I never went out proselytizing. Prostituting is another matter. Will whore for apple.

She said not to put that in the presentation, but that I could LJ it.

Your brilliance never ceases to amaze me.
