so, i went to harrisonburg VA for an interview at Rosetta Stone recently. it was much fun, got to talk with a lot of interesting people. i'm looking forward to hearing back from them. but right now, i'm working on computer things, both homeworks and funworks. |

mood:  happy music: "I Never Will Marry" in my head
|
i was walking up the hill from sharples with mary, and coming the other way were alyssa and ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) stoneunturned. i commented that they matched, in white short-sleeve shirts and flowy pink-fading-to-pale-pink skirts. and that it was kinda weird. then, they pointed out that mary and i matched, in black shirts and maroon-burgundy pants. it was worth a chuckle.
i like my friends. i like this campus. i'll be sad to leave, but, i think, ready? |

for anyone who has had an argument with me, in which i attempt to show that a prescriptivist linguistic claim they are making is silly, this is the explanation. |

mood: peaceful music: various songs by magpie

this has been a very nice break; it's been spent with mrandie, miasmalmist, and emma. we've cooked a lot of very good food, seen what may have been a lightning strike on asphalt, been to a few wonderful museums, met each other's parents, gone to each other's houses, walked in the sun, walked in the rain. sat with cats. driven from new jersey to massachusetts. we've danced (not enough, and not at a good-enough dance, but it was still fun), we've played scrabble. we've read aloud, we've read to ourselves.
now, i'm sitting here in mrandie's house, in brookline, listening to magpie, smelling the wonderful things that mrandie is cooking. i have some leads for jobs (post-graduation looms!), i will have a shiny new computer when i return to swat, i have sorted out some SCCS problems. things are good.
all that said, there are some things that are not so good. stephen_dedman points some of them out — cronyism in bushland, obscene costs in the iraq war, and such. but, while they affect me, they are not part of my life directly. so one can keep up hope. |

laurie, jeff, leland, chris and i played a contra dance at princeton last night. it was great; people seemed to have a good time, i need to play louder (i'm told), and we met rebecca (black's) former math teacher. we had a good sing on the ride back, too. i want to do more of that. |

so, i've been in a bit of a hole: working on the robotics midterm has been taking up much of my mental space and time. but there are other things! job searching (preferably in the philly area), seeing friends, making music (playing at a contra at princeton tomorrow), programming (relearning java, to be precise), and seeing friends — trying to do better on seeing many people around here that i like, more.
i feel like i'm in a period when my thoughts do not LJ well. |

i figured it out: edited /etc/fstab (through vifs, as leopard prefers), and made sure to supply the resvport option; with that, it worked fine. |

does anyone know anything about mounting nfs shares in os x 10.5? i don't want any of this automounter malarkey — just something that'll work like it does on linux, where the mount will mount at boot, and just be part of the filesystem. |

"Yes. To be a good hunter," said Mouse, "to be a good family man, to be truthful instead of clever with people, to live in a community where there is much wisdom — that is what all of us want."
"Ah," said Crow, "But it takes your life to learn to do these things." i like barry lopez a lot. i wanna be from Turtle Island, not america. |
