ika musume s2 ep10
skyrim!!!!! thieves guild quests, dark brotherhood quests, markarth quests. (possible spoilers ahead so I’m gonna put it in a ‘read more’)
Markarth is awesome. So many interesting quests without having to travel all the way to some other far away place. But I ended up slaughtering all the guards because I thought it was part of the quest, apparently not. How...

You remembered the important part.
I remember thinking “why does this dunkin’ donuts have a stack of chinese food takeout menus on the counter?”

Dream - Dunkin' Donuts (Dec 29 / morning)
Dream
dunkin donuts as a Chinese restaurant that had ice cream
don’t remember the rest
these past few days I’ve been having really long dreams with lots of parts, each with lots of unrelated things in them but I can barely remember them when I wake up. Surely this has to do with how much time I have been spending on playing Skyrim.

watched working’!! ep13 ah darn it’s over
did a bunch of steam achievements, I think I have 9 coal now
skyrim. Accomplished a lot of things. Except that elf follower guy died somehow (I teleported to his corpse and it was near his house?? How’d he even get there from the last time I saw him) and then I cheated and revived him because I wanted him to teach me archery
also a...

watched Working’!! ep12
played skyrim
played tf2. Was playing as scout but then there were lots of pro soldiers on the team so I decided to go medic, seeing as pro soldiers always rocket jump around a lot and call for medic a lot. It was fairly intense.
played some more skyrim but started over because I wanted to be a thief and before I didn’t bother looking up the races or skills....

Merry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did some of the steam holiday achievements that I was too lazy to do before: audiosurf, spiral knights, jamestown, the polynomial. Now I have 6 coal. Also bought Skyrim since it was on sale (-33%) but haven’t gotten around to playing it yet. Installed it, though. But I had to change my download location to Belgium (or some other foreign country) or else I was getting...

skype chat with @miluda
tf2 related things. Got a hat from a random drop, how many have I gotten so far, it seems like a lot
watched tamayura ep11 to catch up since I missed it last week due to finals. Turns out it was a somewhat Christmas-related episode, great timing
going to watch more christmas anime

10am went to that one place that sells the baguette subs
took subway to brooklyn
11am-ish, worked a bit on the commtheory project with m and an, on gmail chat
tf2 trading on tf2wh, got a lot of winter crates
opened 4 of them, got 3 spy-cicles in a row. Terrible luck. What are the chances? Apparently 0.5359375%. Why couldn’t those chances be used to uncrate an unusual?? Anyway, the 4th...

9am worked on commtheory project with M and An
kept trying to get MLSE working, it was really really good for 100 iterations but running it 1000 times yields pretty bad results, which is kinda weird
anyway it’s annoying that simulations take about 25 minutes to run 1000 iterations of
in the end we didn’t actually get much done but we realized what didn’t work. It’s...

9am worked on circuits project, finally finished
5pm went to Mcdonalds
6pm computer security, got exams back (91), went over the exam and then did presentations. There were a lot of presentations and a lot of them went way past 5mins. I kinda rushed mine for the sake of time, but the class ended up going until about 10:40pm when it should normally end at 9pm. They were very interesting...

8am DSP exam. At the very beginning he said “usually I just put the same kinds of questions on the exams from year to year because there’s some topics I need to test on but there are some years when I feel like making up new questions, and this year is one of those years” and everyone was like “aw maaaaan” because all his exams are pretty much just “memorize...

no Japanese class today because it’s over
1pm went to restaurant with uncle (well I went there first and he came later), but the restaurant was really full and it was all high schoolers in there or something (judging by the fact that they were younger than me and all had backpacks). I called my uncle telling him it was really crowded and he said to wait outside, so I did. All the people...

11am circuits2. I walked into the room a bit early, the professor from the previous class was still in there. As he walked out, he started vomiting and some of it got on the right side of my pants and my shoe. Thankfully it seemed to be mostly coffee and not any solid food things from what I could tell, but ehhhh. Anyway he seemed to be ok after; I went to the bathroom to try to wash it off...

Dream - Installing Starcraft (Dec 11 / morning)
this dream
cousin was there
installing starcraft on computer
one instance of starcraft was already open and I wanted to close it but my cousin was using the computer
told him to close it or else it would crash because another instance of the game would try to run but it was too late
after the installation, it ran the program and there were two instances running and they both crashed

wow actually now that I think about it I don’t remember much of it at all

It’s entirely different from other classes ending because this one isn’t at Cooper so I won’t see these people in other classes etc. Oh yeah also realized A[…]’s name is actually E[…],...

worked on php image directory script
worked on dsa program
took subway
worked on php image directory script some more. Now instead of sorting by date every time the page loads, it stores the sorted list in a file, and updates it only when a new image is added to the directory. Loads much faster.

played some tf2; traded some things on tf2wh for an Apparition’s Aspect (I think something like: 2 refined, a key, the strange soda popper I got yesterday, and a strange knife, got ~1.66 reclaimed left over). It is p.cool but now I won’t be able to use my vintage whiskered gentleman misc. It is disappointing that I cannot be a pyro ghost with...

10am took subway, then went to subways (got a cold cut combo, it is ok), then went home
realized that the graphics card requirements suggest a 450W power supply, and my computer only has a 300W one so I was like “aw dang I guess if I want...
