Two finals down, one to go - the big one being chem on Friday, which is my make-up final from this summer. That's my biggest worry, since I haven't done any actual chem homework and such all quarter. O BOI!

Also, this powerbook-chained-to-a-desk-and-monitor thing suxx0rs. But [livejournal.com profile] annathepiper has a deal through work where she can get an employee discount on a refurbished MacBook (refurb by Apple, full warranty, all that) so we're spending money we shouldn't and getting one. I wasn't sure about that with all the hospital bills coming in (and with making real progress on the Visa card paydown) but then this one locked up twice in a day, which it's never done before, and that's scary and sounds like it might be a logic board problem instead of just the backlight, which is one of the ways these screens fail. So, um, yeah. Poor powerbook, you have been to hell and back a couple of times but it's finally taken its toll, apparently.

I know, I know, no CWUs for a week and a half. I feel bad too. I have a bit I want to talk about regarding the Sea-Tac kerfuffle. However, finals week puts the Worst Webcomic Evar on hiatus, I guess. Good news, though: no finals week next week! Yay!

I still have flowerpics queued up. This one was from Shoreline campus:


Little Purple Surprises


Someone asked about this last year; Here's a nice graph that shows how much seasonal demand change there is in gasoline. This is one of the reasons why the price of gas changes so much within a year. Check out the units on the left side of that graph; it's in billions of miles driven per day. To wit: damn.

Anybody know much about thorium reactors? I'd like this article to be more or less accurate. Wikipedia is less sanguine about it than this article, but it still sounds like a technology to explore vigourously.

Monday's miles: 1.9
Tuesday's token: .4
Wednesday's miles: 1.4
Miles out of Hobbiton: 1445.3
Miles out of Rivendell: 987.3
Miles out of Lothlórien: 533.3
Miles past Rauros Falls: 115.4
Miles to Isengard: 346.3

On the twelfth day of Christmas, solarbird sent to me...
Twelve roses drumming
Eleven trees lifemating
Ten comics a-sculpting
Nine collectives gardening
Eight forests a-flutemaking
Seven parrots a-singing
Six dragons a-drawing
Five fa-a-a-antasy books
Four quaker parrots
Three bamboo flutes
Two old movies
...and a mush in a bisexuality.
