Attended a public lecture by Stephen Cook this evening, at the invitation of my Computer Scientist friend. It didn't all go completely over my head.
I had a lovely chat with his wife afterward, as well. I still find it strange when I interact with famous, important, or influential people. I hope some day that it will be routine.

Ban everyone who did anything even remotely drama-like until there's nobody left but me, CG and 2 lurkers?[/QUOTE]
nuke and reboot. rinse repeat. Then blog about how your art is more important.
I went to my cousin's metal band tonight. I don't even like metal.
But it was awesome. And I was supportive of him, like a decent human being (I am not actually a decent human being.)

Someone must have screwed up the pricing. But damn what a deal you got!
The last time there was a deal this good was because someone noticed a grocery store was selling a beer that's over 6% abv, which is illegal here. So they had to sell it cheap to the liquor store to unload. Hopefully something similar happened and the cases aren't from 2002 or cursed or something.
My topless girlfriend punned while we were cuddling after she...gave me a present.

Went to a Cajun restaurant for dinner. Soooooo good.

I even got new underpants :eyebrows:
(really what happened is most my clothing is either not my size or very old, and we are leaving to see our family in italy this week... wich is when I discovered I didn't have clothes to wear a full week without having them washed. Really belated Shoppin' Time! -The watch was an extra-)
EDIT: "very old" as in "having several different holes"

In seven hours I will be front row at Muse.
Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
This is a pretty baby win, but I'll share anyways because I really freaking want to.
I had a bit of a crisis today, but I got paid. So I went to the local art supply store and bought an easel, some paints, brushes, and two canvases, just to see what I can make of them. I feel pretty good about it, and I already have something started.
But anyways, at the cash the woman ahead of me was arguing about the price of something which was supposed to be on sale or something. Another cashier bounded over to open up, so that I didn't have to wait behind this woman. She was pretty friendly, and asked if I found everything I was looking for. I told her that I found lots more, and that I was spending much more money than I really had. She laughed and said she understood. Apparently she does that quite frequently as well. I joked with her that going crazy and spending money needlessly is my favorite thing to do in times of personal crisis.
She gave me the total, and I looked into my wallet. After considering it for a moment, I decided to go with debit. When I got to the machine, though, the cost was much lower than the one she had scanned. I asked her about it, because I'm just like that, and she said something along the lines of "I gave you a coupon. Because you're a nice guy."
Should that have made my day? It's a pretty small thing. But it saved me ten dollars, and made me feel good about myself.

Sounds like a nice gal who knew a nice guy when she saw one. Little things like that definitely have made my day, too. Big win!
