Duck Vindaloo

Duck vindaloo, involves cooking duck in hot oil.
which is what happened last night.

Stanley Cup finals for the oil!!!! Yippie!
I went to a party last night, i figured there was a good chance of there being a tv (i am tv-less) and i wanted to watch the game. YAY for cory! AND you knew things were going to go well when on the way david, monika and I went to pick up some beer and TUBORG was on SPECIAL!!! sweet!!! so there was tuborg, there was hockey and there were bathrooms with windows. that last part is rather strange.

AND

MARJORIE IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she got back on friday night. patricia, cindy and i decided to surprise her at the airport! i knew the date that marjorie was getting back, and cindy knew the airline and patricia did detecting and found flight information. good thing there was only one flight coming in from london! signs were made and so were plans. cindy was to patrol the area where the travelers get out and i was to check the outside perimeter to see if marjorie was already out and patricia was to park the car. But somehow marjorie was able to sneak past the inner defenses and the OUTER patrol, good thing "eagle-eyes" patricia entered the terminal when she did. She made the comment "shouldn't we be over there where there is a girl with dark hair and a brown jacket and looks like marjorie?" might be a good idea. It was marjorie and we ran up like crazy-folk with our welcome back signs and surrounded her! HAPPY!

YEEHAW!

LET'S GO OILERS!! LET'S GO!!! [clap][clap]

third period.
crazy!

comments from the computer

so the other day joe had sent me this link.

it's about a computer that saves the world from a boring master's thesis.

my question: will adding a car chase to my thesis on neutron stars help to involve the reader in my work? and then, how does one add a car chase to a thesis on neutron stars? this will take some thinking.

at anyrate, this is what my computer thought of something i had written last summer:




in case you can't make out the web-cam picture of my paper, the computer decided to call my section "Observations and Analysis", "stupid Observations and Analysis".

this is not a good sign...

somehow the word "stupid" was put into my ps file of a lightcurve and it only showed up when i put this picture in a latex file.
or: blah blah blah, my computer thought the section was stupid.

in knitting news: i got the new interweave and i'm itching to make the icarus shawl. yum yum yum.

in other news: go oilers!!!

Origin of a princess

in case you are wondering how it is that i became a princess, well that started on my 21st birthday when i was singing in camrose with my choir. someone had one of those crowns that comes with a kids meal and since it was my birthday, i should have a crown. i became a princess.
then we went to celebrate.

there was some strong encouragement by me for people to join in the celebration. for example: come to caddies! i'm a princess!

my favorite: buy me a drink! i'm a princess!

i think all of camrose between the college and Cadillac's knew about my birthday and about the fact i was a princess.

so where did the tuborg come from?

i moved to montreal. i started a master's. and the department really likes students and staff to be friends. so they drive us out to some far away part of mcgill (the macdonald campus) and have a bbq... with an open BAR!!!! sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
tuborg was my drink of choice that afternoon.

tuborg labels are fun. they make a good tiara! plus some of the bottles come with stickers that you can put on your watch, and then it's tuborg time!!!!

5 and 5!!!

oh my oh my!!!
there are 5 weeks left before the thesis is due!
there are also 5 chapters that i still need to finish the first drafts of.

oh my.

but things are not as grim as that.
3 chapters are waiting for me to get/make pretty pictures.

but to keep me from stressing out, i've got my yarn.
or perhaps it's better to say, to keep me from writing, i've got my yarn.

on another note, the triple caramel ice cream at ben and jerry's is super yum yum.

i got another knitting book today.
notice how easy it is for me to get back to the topic of knitting?
it's all lace!!!! oh super fun!!!!!!!!!!

and this website is pretty wicked fun.
it's been rather rainy. getting me into the vancouver mind set.

oh yeah, i'm moving to vancouver after i become a master.
they have stores there that sell just cupcakes!!!

what a magical land.

also, juliette the cow was returned to rene. and thusly so was my pink ribbon of power. with the pink ribbon of power and the mysterious thesis pellets that arrived on my desk, i will be unstoppable in my conquest of "the thesis".

the time?

what time is it?
i think, perhaps TUBORG TIME!

oh dear.
that is almost trouble!
