First cold day.

Today is the first cold I've seen in San Antonio. By cold I mean 50ish.
Clearly, something is amiss.
I can only imagine what would happen if there was frozen precipitation here.


Best friend is getting married tomorrow, in Hawaii.


I added bentonite to my mead last night. Going to try and clarify this batch.
Was reading that it might be better to add it at the beginning... pewp.
Tasted some of the mead though, was pretty good.
I'll probably add some of the leftover honey when I go to bottle.

Thanksgiving, then?

Dirty Nose..

There is something growing in my sinuses. I think it's an alien baby. Perhaps twins...
Because I think I just aborted one of them. (thanks cat)

Partied in Austin with friends. It was a great time and it makes me sad we're all getting older. We had steak, booze, and played at an arcade that had more than House of the Dead and racing bullshit. A rarity for sure.

Saw an unexpected friend while there too. Good guy, bad times. He's the kind of person to stay happy though.

My last welding class is tomorrow. I need to figure out what to do after that, at least in terms of metal work. Perhaps I will move up to a community college course? Though, I will likely be starting my graduate degree next semester, so maybe I'll want to keep that time open until then...

I sent an email to the professor I am planning to take a course from. It is an undergraduate course, to fill in stuff from my previous degree. So I ask him if he can tell me what book he plans to use, or perhaps point me to a website with materials on it.

He responded with this:
"

Go to google.com and use the following key words:

control systems

Root locus

Laplace Transform

Frequency response

Design

Matlab control toolbox

etc.
/"

Yes, he told me to Google it.

Yes. He put "etc." How does that even make sense? You gave me a list about a topic I am planning to take a course in, and you put ETC. LIKE I KNOW WHAT ALL IS COVERED IN THE COURSE AHEAD OF TIME. O WAIT, THATS WHAT I JUST FUCKING ASKED YOU.

If you read this, and you're a professor. Please don't ever do this.

Bzzzz.

I just realized that my AC hasn't been turned on in weeks. Apparently I had turned it to "OFF" and put the fan to "ON". I'm special like that.

2 more welding classes. 2 More months till spring semester. 2 more... something anothers to keep the pattern going...


My best friend showed me this webcomic gunnerkrigg court. It's awesome. Go read it, or I punch you.
