Meta En Francias

  The other night I was watching Private Benjamin. It's a fantastic movie and not as 80's as you'd think, because it was coming out of the late '79. But this isn't a movie review. The movie player I was using was automatically set to french for some reason and the film was in three parts. When I opened the third file, there was a french wedding scene, and the audio was in french. Basically I was watching an American movie in french while someone was actually speaking french. It was crazy, I swear.

Achievement Still Locked

So final grades are rolling in as TA's grade papers and exams. To be honest I'm really disappointed.

  Not necessarily in myself; I don't think an 81.6 is terrible for a class I had trouble in. I'm pretty proud I managed that, seeing as how the exams went terribly. But seriously, the average for that paper was a 14? Now, I've taken stats so I know that averages can be really skewed by highs and lows, but considering that I'm an outlier for both the average and the median means that my score was only helping to raise the average. To fourteen. I suppose all that matters is that I passed with better than a C so I qualify for pretty much every psych class after this one.

Well of course!

  There's this really cool website that basically allows you to download books the same way that itunes allows you to rent movies. I personally can't get it working because it's not formatted for my computer, but you get a borrowing period of 7-14 days. You just have to sign into your library with your library card (has anyone seen that awesome Arthur musical episode? Is Arthur even on anymore? I know the voices had been changed 5 or so years ago).

  Anyway, I couldn't sign in for some reason and when I went to refresh the page, I noticed this:

  I can only assume this elder god is keeping me from discovering an e/audiobook explaining how to stop him. He's masking his presence with an additional "H", but I'm on to him! That, or I forgot a three.

But come on, let's be realistic here.
