ground teeth

it's 4am, so this post just got downgraded into a summary.

1. remembering the tattoo incident when describing the effects of low blood pressure + syncope to the dentist

2. k-twang prompted me to turn my description into haiku:
the dentist demands
complete submission, leaving
winter in my face

the right side of my nose was numb too.

3. good work, good lunch, and the insanely-larger-and-more-complex-than-originally-thought project is finally up and running.

!! ^_^ w00t!!!

4. total recall of the "wonder years" (two years of incredible parties) sparked by some of the tunes on my ipod. that was followed by the news that pg will be coming to festival in two and a half weeks with me and her brother. (^_^)

5. community, the second season's halloween ties in, like everything else, with my postmodernist paper.

6. the middle-of-the-night work emergency - a huge wtf. a critical section of code worked for over a week in spite of the third party's communication breaking the rules, and then suddenly stopped a few days ago. how did it work until then? and what the hell would i have done if it hadn't worked at all? the only reason i figured out where the problem was was because i had access to those last accepted signals... not having those could have really messed up my night.

7. some desk organization, including a long email to the faculty dev team and a short one to the company that's handling my paycheck...

8. ink allergy? or book allergy?

in order to avoid the itchy eyes and limbs, i spent half an hour scanning and processing what i hadn't read, then another half an hour to upload the 20mb file (seriously?! for low-quality grayscale????) to dropbox because my phone couldn't mail it. and then another reading and scribbling. booth's book definitely isn't completely useless, but most of it doesn't help me make my case.
