I feel stupid

I turned in the wrong assignment file for my CS assignment two weeks ago, and didn't realise it until I saw the 0/20 I got for it today.

I'll get back to hitting myself on the head now.


Now Playing: U2 - Until The End of The World

Need some wood?

So there really hasn't been all that much to write about. Lets see then... 26 days have passed since November 2, which by the way was Election Day - if the word 'election' qualifies. I guess it does though if you like your touch screen voting. I have to admit though, Our Great Leader - and you get to call him that whether you're American or not now - sure is on a roll. In the spirit of bipartisan cooperation, he supports a policy in which Congress would only pass bills backed by a number of House Republicans, regardless of the number of Democrats supporting it. As if that wasn't enough to please Democrats, the Senate now plans to use - quote, unquote - 'nuclear' tactics to nominate conservative judges to courts around the US. There's no such thing as too much bipartisanship however, and the Bush appointed CIA Director *cough* lackey/partisan hack/nutjob/take your pick *cough* Porter Goss is purging the CIA of those insufficiently supportive of Bush policies. Does Colin Powell's resignation even count?

Enough of that though, just my two cents. There are already too many political blogs on the internets.


Now Playing: U2 - Walk On

Post-election day thoughts?

Hello hello!

Usually I don't remember my dreams. And even if I do, they seem to be not much more than your average run-of-the-mill dream - if such a thing exists. Regardless, I don't ever seem to do or see anything interesting in my dreams. So either someone tampered with my REM sleep mechanism last night and messed with it some, or I had an off-day - if you can call it that. So here's what I remember from last night's dream, as coherent as I can make it.

I don't remember where it started, but it was dark, and kind of in a hilly area. And someone pointed somewhere, saying 'Look, it's Eve!'. That would be the evil Eve from Angel season 5 of course. So I went over there - no, I flew over there if I remember correctly - and got rid of her. (Way to use a euphemism)

Then things change. A lot. I'm on my way back home, and have to switch to a connecting flight at the Amsterdam airport. Except it isn't Amsterdam for some odd reason, it's Hong Kong. Then it turns out that I had forgotten my boarding pass for the connecting flight back at Houston (don't ask me how, I was never there in my dream). So I start calling a whole bunch of random people on my cellphone. That's going to hurt my bill for sure. Just then, this European girl comes up to me and goes, 'Oh my god it's you!'. She seems really familiar but I can't quite place where I've seen her before. Turns out I had met her the last time I was at the Hong Kong airport (which in fact I didn't in real life, but how would I know that in a dream?). So seeing as I have nothing better to do, we start going around the airport, eating and shopping, and that's when I realize I'm in a dream.

And even then I didn't question what was going on (which isn't like me really), and sort of took control of the dream (have to love lucid dreaming). At the end of it all she was about to give me her MSN address (yes, an MSN address, don't ask me why) when the sodding alarm woke me up. For calculus. (Ouch, painful)

Interesting that this happened the day after we discussed Freud and psychodynamic theory in psychology.
