Yubsie's Yammerings

My New Years resolution is very simple: Get my PhD. I figure that's a big enough goal to not worry about anything else.

QotD

Gwenna: "It occurred to me as I went downstairs using my sonic screwdriver as a flashlight to put a Tribble in the Christmas tree that I am a bit of a nerd."

Merry Christmas all.

I am on a train. Do you know what I do not have time or connection stability to deal with? The fact that LJ has decided to break Glaxcin's entire organizational system. What POSSIBLE REASON was there to remove subject lines and the ability to link subthreads?

Okay, so Steam had the first three Virtual Villagers games on for $2.50 each, so I figured I'd give them a try. So I'm playing the first game and one of my starting villagers HATES WORK. Like, that's his trait. I have nicknamed him Senor Dumbass on account of how often I have to put put him back on task. (Why Senor? Felt like it.) So anyway...

QotD

Me: Okay, Senor Dumbass, you are allowed to eat, you are allowed to drink and you are allowed to research. THAT IS IT.
Ryan: So he's a grad student?


Yep. Sounds right.

I just shouldn't be allowed to touch anything hot today. First I spilled half a mug of hot tea all over myself when I fell up the stairs. Then I decided to make quesadillas for lunch. And proceeded to drop on straight out of the pan on my wrist.

I'm making Ryan make supper. :p

(Also, apparently I have three different tags about how clumsy I am. :p)

QotD

Mom: Have you read the Cassandra Clare books?
Me: Oh GOD Cassandra Clare. She has... quite the reputation in the Harry Potter fandom.
Mom: I've heard.
Me: *condensed version of the saga*
Mom: Okay, someone said it was a wank fest and I wasn't sure it was something that I should put in my library even if the kids love it...
Me: *dying laughing* WANK MEANS INTERNET DRAMA!


I must admit I... never thought I was going to have to explain wank to my mother.

DYING FOREVER!

First of all, if the neighbours can tell what game you are playing, the TV might be a bit loud. (THey were playing FFVII)

My journal is unupdated largely due to my life not being terribly exciting. I made some stuff yesterday and it was yellow! Which is the colour it should be, rather than the black it kept being. So that was exciting, but probably only to me.

The good news is I think I might finally see the end of all this. A lot of the experimental work is close to done, so maybe I'll actually finish my thesis on time. :p

Am I ready for this? I don't know.
