dchenes | possible filters, schedules, online orders, etc.

I'm considering setting up a karate filter, because once I get started talking about it, it's hard to shut me up. Anybody who wants to read martial-arts-related stuff, please comment here.

My schedule for next week is all upgefuckt, because I have a class on Monday to make up for the fact that we won't have it on Thursday. So now the work that would normally be due on Thursday was assigned yesterday and is due on Monday, so I don't get a non-academic day this week. We leave for Toronto sometime noonish on Wednesday, and we made up the Wednesday class last Tuesday. Confused yet? I am.

I did laundry this morning anyway, academic day or not, because No Pants! (Fortunately it's still shorts weather, even if it is on the cool end of shorts weather).

I'm doing the "Calvin waiting for his propeller beanie in the mail" thing again, this time for embroidery stuff. Online ordering 24/7 is a good thing on one hand and a bad thing on the other. It's good because you can sit there at 11:30 PM and place an order for something, but then you have to hang around and wait for the order to get processed and packed up and shipped. I think in the internet age, it's a bit of a contradiction in terms to be able to pay for something instantly and then wait around for three weeks until the stuff shows up. I'm not sure I wouldn't rather have to call up and order things so I could at least ask when the order would be processed. (My Luddite tendencies are showing again.)

I think I've got some major brownie points with my advisor for telling her about the Gutenberg Project. I had forgotten about it myself until earlier this week, at which point it turned out to be exactly what I needed.

I'm sort of generally stiff all over, except for random spots that actually hurt (like the hamstring at the back of my right knee). For want of a hot tub, Advil will have to suffice. At least I don't have to run any more errands today. Time for more composition exercises and another actual composition.
