The Autumn Leaves....
...all jazz musicians, take your fakes books out now!
Anyway, being from California, I have never seen the trees turn to such deep reds and yellows. So seeing stuff like this (see below) is pretty amazing. Once again, these are just photos from my phone, but they get the point across.

Well, Hello There.
We've finally got a president and MIT has a four day weekend coming up. Exciting times ahead. Looks like I'll get more homework tomorrow. *leaps with joy*
Hopefully, I'll finish up the book I'm reading (the Code Book) before things get busy again. Educational endeavors always seem to interrupt my leisure reading. Like I said, exciting times. Leading back to the novel, it's a zooming trip through the crucial points of code/cipher/encryption history. Overall, Simon Singh is quite good at getting to the core of things and does so in a fairly straightforward manner.
Things that I didn't get to today: Laundry. Happily, my laundry is still waiting in my basket (the spin cycle scares them, especially the socks). Eventually, I'll get them. Really just a matter of washer timing. Employing washing device telepathic channels would be most helpful.
Kudos to those who get the message.

Itch.
So for some reason, the past two weeks have been fairly light in workload. Probably a combination of tests scheduling in nicely and just not having a website to redesign. Because MIT has a 4 day weekend coming up and I don't have any work to do until Thursday, I've been going though options of what I can do with this spare time because I am itching to do something. Do I draw up dress designs, do I sew a bit, do I sketch buildings, try and cramp some Russian into my head, play the big ole' bass, go to the gym, read, sit on me arse and stare at a wall... So far, postering and reading are the early winners. Making tea is another. I also enjoy fits of prancing down the hallway.
And about the postering, if you do see any blondegeek posters (around MIT) and read this, if you could tell me where you saw the poster that would be incredibly excellent. This particular postering event had a Norah Jones music theme (that would be what I was listening on my iPod). When the posters where well distributed about the posterboards in the infinite, Stata, and various Athena clusters, I walked back to Simmons via the track which is all lit up around 10 pm, which I find to be pleasantly awkward since it makes me feel stretched between day and night.
Tomorrow is Election Day in the States. I'm definitely excited about it. Part of that excitement is that it marks the end of this round of campaigns. The rest is just the uncertainly of how this election is going to swing.
Happy voting, happy p-setting, happy tea-making to all!

Happy November!
Seriously, November came out of nowhere! I just looked at the calendar this morning and it said NOVEMBER! and I was like AHHHH! but YAY!!!! It's just a bit difficult to believe that I've already been at MIT for 2 months, the time has really flown past, but many people said that it would.
Hope everyone's Halloween went along nicely. Some of my fellow floor mates and I went to "Spooky Skate" as it's called at the on campus ice rink, where I received much positive feedback (sorry about the ebay terminology there, but I've been playing with ebay today and it hasn't been playing nice. Apparently, you are not suppose to have any outside store urls listed, which is lame, but oh well that's how the cyber cookie crumbles) about my Mondrian dress. Makes me think that I should give a crack at sewing a few more getups, especially now that I found out that McCormick (another one of the MIT dorms) has a sewing room...*plot, plot, plot*
This is a resting weekend for me, when I pretty much will just stay in the dorm and work on homework, personal projects (ebay and facebook and inventory), and room maintenance (which so far is maintainable). I've done some recording with the wockets of me sitting and running. Unfortunately, the intermediate receiver seems to have trouble getting one of the wockets (maybe because of a bad battery or position on the wocket side) but its not bad enough to not get the gist of the data.
Catch you cats later! Have a great rest of the weekend!
