Detachable penis ... detachable penis ...
Ahhh, things are a little bit busy. I may be a slacker, but with two jobs on top of classes, even I get to falling behind on the important things. I think responsibility is good for me though. I think I'm going to drop ECE291 as well.
I picked it up kind of randomly anyway. I was reviewing the CS minor requirements and figured out, as I must have known before, that I don't really need it. Trouble is, it's an interesting class, but it's also a tough one that asks a bit more than I seem willing to give, at least on top of everything else.
If I'm around next summer, I might be well-served taking it then. During the summer, just taking one class could be kind of pleasant, especially if I'm working anyway
Beckman's nearly complete ... I keep saying that eh? I can hopefully finish it up tomorrow. Friday I'm driving out to FOX to audit ... once the audit is done Mark and I are promised a "reward" ... now this is very mysterious to me, and so I don't worry about it. I hope though that the reward might be a Pilot ... I've been wanting to be able to jot things down more easily as they hit me, while I'm far from a computer. A Pilot would be a good way to go, and it might be a fun toy as well. It's pretty neat in that instead of a keyboard, there's a pressure-sensitive pad you write upon in a modified alphabet called "graffiti" ... as careful as I tend to be about keyboards and ergonomics, it seems a losing battle. I think if I were to write I might serve my body a little better. The problem with writing is two-fold. The first is that my handwriting has become increasingly illegible, and far more reliant on typing. I jot notes down, but nothing really sustained. The second is that in this form, it is less useful to me when it's not electronically accessible. I'm such a junkie for electronic media that I've often felt compelled to "grep" a book or an article for a particular topic, and then get frustrated that I'm in a wrong paradigm. I should count my lucky anal stars to be living in the latter two decades of the 20th century I suppose.
Anyways, that Detachable Penis is from a song ... I've thought it might be really keen to be able to interchange body parts at our convenience. Especially something like a penis which is something of a rare commodity, something that is so culturally made-a-big-deal-of and also so important to many intimate situations. I mean, the thing stands some sharing.
I mean, if I could lend it out to people ... I bet mom would find it useful if she went camping. Gotta pee in the woods? No problem, just whip it out ... girlfriend jealous because she can't masturbate worth a damn? Eh, let her have it a few days a week. Well, that's if we're sickos.
I been thinking it'd be nice to be able to cut holes in our stomachs as well. Instant gratification! Instead of waiting on that gas to leisurely pass through your gut, you could just slice and release pressure, like a big inflatable toy! It might even smell less not passing through the colon and all ... still smell like food, though probably somewhat dessicated. You wouldn't want to cut loose in class after a meal of fish perhaps, but some things prolly don't smell so bad.
Jenny sees eye-to-eye with me on the whipped potatoes issue. She doesn't like runny, watery potatoes. It pisses me off too! I told her about comment cards and such, how they're always hidden around Allen Hall. Maybe we could join together in a crusade for potatoes! That and Escort Policy, which I've been lazy on of late ...

that ought to help ...
I just read an article on the difference between men and women's journal writing. For 381 ... anyways, what to say? It was interesting that it made a distinction between the two. The women came out sounding a bit better. One problem that I've found success in fighting is that men frequently are not encouraged to express themselves more openly ... this is especially unfortunate for brighter folk.
Women, on the other hand ... well the article before, which was not so well-received in class and which i myself didn't bother to read as the tiny font played havoc with brain cells ... well for formal "academic" writing they are seen as being at a disadvantage because their style tends to be more open-ended and generally the sort of stuff that's well ... better for journals.
I tend to write far more informally myself, and I like to keep a journal, and I like to avoid social dichotomies or whatever, and I tend to try to take a very open-ended approach to various questions. I guess I write like a chick huh?
Hhuhuhuhuhuh .... yeah, you're a chick ...
It's late, I work at 0900h. I'm going to bed.
