Super stoked today.
Had a great sushi lunch with our very own Sven, and then on the way home I'll be stopping by the Amazon locker to pick up Ableton Live 9 and a new 3rdG iPad. It's going to be a fun weekend.
I just submitted my last paper for my degree. All I have left is finals and then graduation. I'm feeling sort of overwhelmed rather than relieved.
That was... quick? Either you just started going to school two years ago, or I've been posting here too long.
Congrats!
Thanks!Quoting ledfloyd (view post)
You've been posting here too long (though I'd argue this place is worth sticking around). It was three years ago. Winter of '10. I had 33 credits from nearly a decade before that, which is why I was able to finish this semester.
I graduate next Spring, yet I still have year more after that.
Sure why not?
STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9
LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8

I finished my Honours year last November, and I'm still having nightmares about assignments due the next day.
I graduated over ten years ago, and not only do I still have nightmares about this, I had one last night.
...and the milk's in me.
Yesterday before going out for breakfast at 9:00, we watched Psy's "Gentleman" video. It had 300 views at that point. It now has 32,587,815. That's random indeed.
But anything that eliminates a Justine Bieber record is good, right? (Psy's got the new record for most views in a day.) And yay for the Brown Eyed Girls "Abracadabra" dance being re-seen and appropriated.
The Boat People - 9
The Power of the Dog - 7.5
The King of Pigs - 7
It probably had more views than that. I notice Youtube sometimes gets stuck at 300+ views (like 312 or something) but there'll be 10,000 comments so I know damn well it's had more views than 300.
Chalk one up for another with nightmares about assignments missing. I'm still not entirely sure I graduated with all my credits in place sometimes. I feel like at any moment they're gonna call me up to tell me I need to go back.
And congrats KF!

He has good judgment.
I like him.
As a teacher, dreams about forgetting that you had a class, or having a class that is misbehaving, are prevalent. There's no more conflicted feeling than waking up, sighing with relief that you didn't forget that class after all, and then realising that you have to go teach it for real now.

Last night I dreamed that I saw my boss and a co-worker reading Match Cut, and I was so upset that I emailed the admins asking them to delete my account.

I had the most disturbing dream last night.

I am in the waiting room of an x-ray tech right now. This morning a box of tiles fell off a pallet and crushed my middle finger. Actually, it more burst it than crushed it. You know in movies when someone/thing gets crushed by something heavy and it splatters out from under the heavy object? That's how the blood sprayed out from under the tiles.
Now the tip of my finger is the size of a cherry tomato, and is so full of blood it feels like it's going to explode.
Yay Mondays!!!
How the hell are you typing?
Also, ew.
Also (and this should have been first, but I am preserving my thoughtlessness) I am so sorry. I hope they can fix you up with minimal pain.
...and the milk's in me.
Thanks, Mara!
I am on my phone using my thumbs.
How did the box only manage to crush just your middle finger? Luck? Or did it get all your fingers and the middle one is just the really hurt one?
Please don't answer this if it hurts to type.
...and the milk's in me.
Yikes, here's hoping they can get you back to typing on the computer right quick.
Luck! I guess if my middle finger was stubby it would have missed completely.
It's officially broken. The bone on the tip is smashed and the sharp edges caused lacerations to the tissue inside, so I have to go on antibiotics to prevent infection.
I got a band aid, too!
No gloves? Seems like employees at those stores are always wearing that type of stuff.
Yech. Just the description gave me light goosebumps. A box of tiles? Christ.

Yeah, a pack of ten 12" by 24" porcelain tiles. It hurt like a mother. I'm glad the store was closed at the time 'cause I have never yelled "fuck" as loud as I did then.
How is Canada with workman's comp?
