Dan Dickinson: The Primary Vivid Weblog

It’s been a hectic week. So let me fill you in:
**Spring Break** – sadly ended on Sunday. Much moping ensued.
**CCC** – BB King tickets are on sale and quite available. Buy some
today via the usual channels. The show is April 8.
**School** – another large chunk of 418 was due today, so I was
completely frazzled and spent about 18 hours in the lab total over two
days. Not fun.
**OS X** – was released last weekend and has since become my primary OS.
Accounts are available for the geeky types, just mail/IM me.
**Job Interview** – I had an interview today for a summer internship
with CBORD doing quality assurance. We’ll see if I get the job in a few
weeks.
**WMX7** – the grandaddy of them all is this weekend. If you’re
interested in partaking, there’s a viewing at 5M. If this is all foreign
to you, don’t bother asking – you’ll just roll your eyes.
I think that’s it for now.

As you may have guessed by the general lack of my presence online, this
week is Spring Break. And yes, for the third straight year, Katie has
come up to join my in the lovely Ithaca area.
Spring Break is always quite hilarious because the weather before (and
generally after) Spring Break is terrible, while the week of break tends
to be beautiful and warm. And this week it has been for the most part,
getting up into the 50’s. Although today has been a little bit chilly…
During Kate’s stay here, we’ve been out to eat two times, seen 5 movies,
listened to a good amount of music, and watched gobs of TV. Capsule
reviews thus far (on my new -3 to +3 scale of rating things – isn’t this
exciting?):
The Boat Yard Restaurant (Surf and Turf / American) +2
Kayuga Restaurant (Japanese) +3 (as always)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Second viewing) +3
Before Night Falls +1
Almost Famous +1.5
Wonder Boys +2
Clerks +2.5
More will probably come later, unsurprisingly.
A large majority of my friends are off in California sunning themselves
– although I’m curious how they can get tans and be online so much. Oh
well. Ben and Sablingbling went to Georgia for the Coca Cola Museum, god
knows why. Nidhi is somewhere remote on a COE trip, and Neil is sticking
around in good ol’ Ithaca.
I will return to my dormy hole (get it? dormy? I live in a…oh never
mind.) on Sunday, so please don’t expect huge response times from me
before then. Till then, enjoy your time away from me

The review – god only knows how I typed it out right now – is up
here.
