Today I learned that Stata sells tasty sandwiches, coke and fanta are a decent combination, and python does not love me like I think it did.
Also, the Somerville Sports Authority is pretty great and ZBT is wonderful for letting us borrow their hockey sticks. |

Ooh. I hadn't seen a Snow Leopard before. ^_^
::wonders if/how it would change::

1. Winged Migration
2. First Contact
3. Legally Blond
4. 10 Things I Hate About You
5. Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle (It's about friendship and the American Dream!)
While I like singing the song and mocking how ''the powers of the puma'' include things like flight, I can't in full conscience put the movie ''Pumaman'' down as a guilty pleasure. :P
I don't think I believe in tagging, but this is vaguely sort of fun... |

So... I will be shipping my bike and have this feeling that it will want to be in a bike shop soon after.
Anyone know of any nice bike shops around ET or MIT? If they take bike shipments and can rebuild them, that would be awesome too :) |

*poke poke*
Only slightly faking the time. Heh. Happy um... consecutive numbers day I guess :) |

I can't seem to access my ATDP log from here for some reason.
Anyway, I wanted to repost a link to a pretty good essay about Doing What You Love that ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) andreags posted.
I noticed later that the guy who wrote it, Paul Graham, also co-founded/wrote an essay about Viaweb. They made us all read the essay back in 6.001 as proof that LISP wasn't useless in industry.
I'm trying to decide whether his essay is more or less valid now that I know that he's financially wealthy.
The other interesting thing is that this is my second follow-random-links-on-the-internet excursion that ended up on Robert Morris's wikipedia entry. -_-; The internet is repeating itself. Or something. There's probably some sort of math proof in that :P
"If you think something's supposed to hurt, you're less likely to notice if you're doing it wrong. That about sums up my experience of graduate school." - Paul Graham |

So. Term ended. I went to New York with people. I went home. My atdp log moved. John visited. And my laptop monitor died in a way that is not covered by my warrenty.
Real life is not particularly interesting. I miss MIT. I want my computer back to normal :( |

Hm. I did most of my 6.003 pset last night in order to de-stress from thinking about 6.UAT. That was interesting. This particular pset is surprisingly doable though.
I refuse to feel guilty for working on the pset early. I want to learn to manage my own time better. Hopefully this is one step towards that. |

Yay!

The 6.001 lab got new computers and flatscreen monitors. Much happiness ^_^
In other news, I think I finally converted from ie to mozilla firefox.
Also, it looks like I'm going to be in Palo Alto for the summer. Anyone know a good way to get housing around the southern end of Stanford? :P |

Some MIT friends and I celebrated Christmas (in February) today. There was food, a gingerbread house, and gingerbread soda (among other edibles).
There were also lots of cute, most entertaining gifts.
( listings and pictures behind the cut )
It feels good to have a comfortable get-together with friends. Back to work now... |
