solarbirdA very social weekend, with a pumpkin carving party (a.k.a. KIDMANIA!) here which was a lot of work but still pretty fun, particularly seeing a few people we hadn't seen in a year, followed by tea at Jessica's house today. Then I started studying up for the GRE. I need to refresh some of my geometry sk1lz - but probably not as much as I'd thought.
Here's another flower portrait; I've no idea what this one might be:
Red and White All Over
I thought a new article of mine was online, but it's not really. It shows up in a site search (did you know that the "Winter 2005" issue and the "November/December 2005 issue" of TechNet Magazine are nine months apart? They changed numbering systems, so they're Winter 2005, Spring 2005, November/December 2005, in that order), but not actually uploaded. Oh well. But it's out. Now I can get paid! Yay!

 At your darkest moments, you feel angry. At work and school, you do best when your analyzing. When you love someone, you tend to be very giving.
