Lest you forget you can see the Walmart movie tomorrow night as well. For free, no less.

hmm... I always thought the phrase was "for all you're worth." It never occurred to me that it could work the other way.

the Chrisman on that Coachella lineup posted a little while ago:


Just as I thought, the lineup just isn't true. It's one of the more convincing fakes out there...
I should have known though. Wyld Stallion? That's fucking Bill & Ted's band. I saw Pavement and got overly excited.
I shall now hold my breath, and think about all the hopes I got up.

Alison, I'm surprised you haven't posted this yet...

but you DO know David Suzuki is gonna be in Edmonton tomorrow? For $11 (unless you can get a fake Grant Mac ID) you can see him tomorrow.

Here's the deets:

Just thought I should let you know in case you didn't already.

Congrats, Alison. I'd be surprised if GSR didn't take you at this point.

Also, you don't have one of those computers with a partition on your hard drive that's the "rescue disk", do you? (It'd be set up as C: being your normal hard drive and D: as the 'rescue disk'.) I know my cousins had that, and I remember thinking it was the most ridiculous thing I'd seen actually done on a real computer system. (It would be the computer equivalent of the screen door on the submarine.)

Yay for Alison!

Not so yay for Jesse. That's a serious pain in the butt.

okay, so what kind of computer doesn't provide you with a recovery disc? apparently CISNET wants us to first burn copies of the recovery discs from our computer's harddrive... somehow I don't even know if our burner works... seeing as all the other devices certainly don't.

stupid effing computer



in other areas of frustration, I'm really sorry to hear that, Jesse. It sucks that they can't tell you this stuff sooner, or, you know, actually have the courses available like they say they will...

woo hoo!

check this out:
"Dear Alison,

I would like to welcome you to our research group. If you feel up to it, I would like to offer you to start your summer job in February or March so you can get used to your new surroundings, meet the people and get an idea of what we are doing. There is currently some experimental work going on and I am certain that your help will be appreciated. In addition you can start looking into the literature surrounding your study. "


yay!

so I guess that means I'll be back on campus some time soon. hmm... . . . only if I get admitted by the faculty of grad studies though. one hurdle at a time.
