Tidbits, moving along.

posted by Leila in , ,

For all its beauty, Wordpress 2.7 is very, very, very slow, and I’m not sure the aesthetics are enough to make up for the 10 seconds (oh, horrors) I have to wait for any given admin page to load. On top of that, the scrolly things on the left don’t even work and I can’t [...]

Effing television

posted by Seth in , , ,

I’ve been watching too much television lately, and I’ve generally been doing too much of nothing. I think Leila was right when she told me not to bring my television along to college. I’m still mildly addicted to Election coverage, and it’s difficult to concentrate once I have some within my grasp. Maybe once the [...]

Rambled bits.

ETA: Google circa 2001. No Twitter, no Wikipedia. How ephemeral will these cybercultural landmarks turn out to be in the future?
It’s currently 3:30pm and I am sitting in my computer science class feeling rather unengaged while the computer says, “Tick, tock, tick, tock, BOOM” for a demonstration of conditionals in Python. Introduction to Computing is [...]

Observations on College. (So Far)

posted by Seth in ,

I miss Leila both more and less than I thought I would.
When the head of Students for Obama sends you an email saying that the meeting is at 5:30 along with the Young Democrats, and the schedule of events posted throughout the Student Union says it’s at 6:30, listen to the email.
The fact that the [...]

COLLEGE OMG

posted by Leila in ,

I moved into Bryn Mawr today. The quad is, ah, “cozy” — but everyone I’m rooming with seems nice and I’m hoping to get over my shyness eventually because I think there’s a lot of potential for me to be happier here than I ever was in high school. There was lots of free food [...]

Parables.

1. I eventually stumble out of bed and make my way to the Great Downstairs, where I’m greeted by this rhythmically groaning lump blanketed on the couch. It turns out that it’s my dad, who somewhat foolishly ate some rancid white fish salad that had been sitting in his car for a day last night. [...]

Since I left you last.

Leila mentioned this briefly on her livejournal, but I’ll tell everyone: we’ve made a pact to try to write for 30 minutes a day. The writing can be any kind of writing, not necessarily a blog post, but it has to be written and it has to be 30 minutes. I, of course, have been [...]

An Ancient Rite of the College Experience.

posted by Seth in , ,

There’s this guy who lives in my room. I don’t have much longer with this guy, honestly, (out May 9th whooo) so I thought I would get a nice, formulaic, Bitchin’ About My Roommate post out before the windows closes once and for all.
My first impression of the guy was that he seemed, well, [...]

Things are broken.

posted by Seth in , ,

My cell phone stopped taking charge for no reason on Monday. I took it to class with a low charge, it was dead when I got bought, I plugged it in…and now it dies whenever I take it off the charger and won’t turn back on. Also, it’s apparently delivering my texts and voicemails roughly [...]

Walk to the nearest stairway. Do not use the elevator.

12:52am is just as good a time for a new entry as any, right?
Seth and I have many quirks; one of them is that we sometimes stay up rather late talking to each other, and in the process of talking, we get so goddamn bored of each other that one of us (well, me, since [...]
