In other news, I'm now in charge of a dorm at work. It's a bit strange.
EDIT: Also, this comic is pretty great.
I thought I'd be in Ravenclaw, actually. Last time I was Hugglepuff, I believe. Gryffindor's okay with me, I suppose.
Yesterday, I read The Hogfather by Terry Pratchett another time. It's definitely one of the best. I liked the justification given for telling kids things like the Soul Cake Duck (Easter Bunny) and Hogfather (Santa Claus) are true, even though I don't agree with it. It was good philosophical thinking. And now, a quote or two.
AND NOW THERE REMAINS ONLY ONE FINAL QUESTION.
HAVE YOU BEEN NAUGHTY ... OR NICE?
HO. HO. HO.
~Death in the very end.
--"Well, I mean, dammit, it's human nature, isn't it?" said Ridcully hotly. "Things go wrong, things get lost, it's natural to invent little creatures that -- All right, all right, I'll be careful. All I'm saying is that man is naturally a mythopoeic creature."
--"What's that mean?" said the Senior Wrangler.
--"Means we make things up as we go along," said the Dean, not looking up.
~On the Accretion of Belief
I also studied some for my Spanish midterm tommorrow. I think I'll do okay on it. I need to study vocabulary today though. Good old flashcard time. Just gotta be careful that the word doesn't get attached to the flashcard and is still kept as an abstract for me to use at any time.
*laughs* I have to teach a bit of class this morning. Stuff about one type of irregular preterits. The other two people in my group are covering the other types of irregular preterits. I look forward to it, it should be pretty fun. And it happens in about an hour. So I only get to look forward to it for a little time.
Taking a look at my chat logs lengths...
1. Kearney with a whopping 656kb of conversation.
2. Raserei trailing by slightly less than 200kb at 461.
3. IronPaw almost another full 100 behind at 368.
4. Myrhakel at 326kb.
5. Digger precisely 100kb behind her at 226.
This doesn't take into account where people talk to me with two different chatting engines. Myrhakel's count would probably be up higher if I spliced the MSN-Trillian and MSN conversations into her count. And maybe some more added to Ras from his MSN also.
Nothing really more to say... Need to go reply to Reno at VI though...
I think I agree with her now. I took a bath for the first time in a very long time yesterday. I much prefer showers.
Must ... go ... summarize ... the ... Island .... thread.
What I've observed about Spanish is the power lies in the verbs. Just by how the verb is conjugated, it provides you with tons of information, unlike English where the power is ... more evenly spread? I'm not sure. I need to forget English and re-learn it to see where the power is. I suspect it's in adverbs and adjectives, though.
Snippet from class:
Teacher: I'll add another question tommorrow. (We're answering some questions in Spanish.)
Girl: *groans*
Teacher: You know, the Eleventh Commandment says Thou shalt not complain.
Charles (on of my friend in there): That's why they dropped it.
*Me and Charles high five*
Today is church day for me. I have to go in early to set up the sound and what not. It's part of what I do in praise of what He's done for me. Anyways, this means that I have to get my shower early.
So I was in the shower and suddenly I hear, knock knock knock on the door. I shut off the water and yell out to the hall, "What?"
Sarah: "Does a straight beat a flush in poker?"
Me: "Er, Yes!"
So I go back to shower. I'm about 2/3rds done and I knock knock knock comes on the door. I shut off the water again and yell out to the all, "What?"
Sarah: "Does a straight beat a full house?"
Me: "Yes."
Then I finished my shower.

It seems that Cyra, Rystan, Ringi and Severan are back in VI. This is a cause worth drinking about. Of course, *grins* most causes are worth drinking about.
Hehehehe, "How many divisions did you send"
"One Person."
James: Hey, how do you say "What's really good?"
minutes later they figure it out
James: Que realmente bien?
Professor: Yes?
James: You're supposed to say "Holla."
Professor: Write, in English
Veronica (the girl beside me whose name I finally figured out): I don't think there is an English word. It's slang.
Me: It's holler.
Professor (after looking at "holler"): Holer.
James: Yeah, so when I say "Que realmente bien?" you say "Holer."
Professor: *Nods bewilderedly*
Did not work out today. I thought my bro was going to show me around the Ceredo gym today. However, as it turns out, we're going to do that tomorrow. So I'm stuck here at home with my Spanish, my computer and a new video game. MUAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!
James: Man, Spanish be kickin' my ass.
That Girl: Look, you just cursed again.
James: I'm not cursing. See, an ass is a donkey.
David: So Spanish - is kicking your donkeys.
James: That's right. Spanish be kickin' my donkeys up in heah.
That Girl: Why do you curse so much?
James: Man, I don't curse much at all.
That Girl: Like five times a sentence.
James: Man, that's just wrong.
Myself: Really, it's more like four and a half.
James: *shakes head*
That Girl: Or four and a quarter.
Myself: Or four, but only if it's a bad day.
I went to class. We had cupcakes and milk while we filled out the teacher evaluations. Our professor went over some more stuff. It was the last class of Linear Algebra and Differential Equations that I'm required to have.
Part of the way through the class, the teacher said, "I think you have a lot of math in your future, Jesse."
Almost without thinking, I answered, "Hopefully, it's the addition of currency."
And that was my good line for the day...
