update in a dozen items

1. It turns out that starting a co-op is really a lot of work.

2. I'm going to try to make chiles rellanos tonight. Yum.

3. Canadian roadtrip this weekend, hosted by [livejournal.com profile] barks!

3 1/2. Business trip to LIGO / Hanford Site the following weekend. Sadly, no detour to Seattle. Curses.

4. The New York Times is not available for daily delivery in Rochester, NY. Curses.

4 1/2. Link in the above item (Yum, by the way) is for [livejournal.com profile] four, who thinks the NYT is strictly a "local New York City paper."

5. Looking forward to coaxing final science results out of my experiment, and being done with it.

6. I received the blue LED's I ordered from Hong Kong. They came to $0.1468 each, which is amazing. Yum.

7. Car has a new starter, but I have a cracked CV boot and a finicky door latch to deal with. Curses.

7 1/2. Thankfully my uncle and cousin will help me with the CV boot.

8. I am working through the book Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics. Yum. Anyone want to join me?

8 1/2. You know you want to.

9. Picked up a copy of Something Wicked This Way Comes at the library thanks to [livejournal.com profile] emidala's recommendation. Yum.

10. I have not yet received the part I ordered (ebay) needed to fix my laptop computer, nor the thousand feet of cat6 cable. Curses.

11. My officemate just returned from a month in Greece.

12. I'm absolutely starving. I forgot to pack my lunch, and there's nothing on the UR campus (really). Ergo, I'm going home!

13. Just about any post by [livejournal.com profile] inertiacrept could go into best of livejournal.

so SICM has some scheme in it, does that mean i can read it easily enough if i've already burned through SICP? cuz i might totally join you. it's just that i never got past math 1a (well, and 55) so physics books can be intimidating
