Cleveland Museum of Art

Radiohead - Like Spinning Plates


Got to visit the Cleveland Museum of Art today with Gina and Neil. We found Betsy after a bit. I hadn't seen the Picasso room for a long time.

I still don't know what to do for New Year's Eve.

A survey from the National Endowment for the Arts found that more than 40 percent of adults did not even average a book a year.

Absolutely crazy. Some guy sneaking into a job he was fired from to do work he wasn't paid for. HERE
Quoth he:
"Engineers worked after hours on their skunkworks, in addition to working full time on their assigned projects. Greg and I, as nonemployees who had no daytime responsibilities, were merely extending this tradition to the next level."

"I am lazy and I am afraid. I watch time goes by and other people move on with their lives. I wish I was dead. What can I do?"
This and much more at Not Proud

No. Seriously. Listen to it.
The genius that is Kevin Hoffman's Gunslinger
It's basically a scene-for-scene description of some cheesy sci-fi movie he saw on tv and wrote a heart-rending song about.

Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.

Working All Day

No More 11-Hour Shifts

I was thinking today while working about making change. I had run out of fives. I was thinking about how many ways you could arrange the people already in line so that I could make the right change for them (the right change being not handing out more than 4 ones). I figured things out when it got slow. Now that I get home I recognize the problem (Catalan numbers). Friggin' Euler.

If a tree falls in your backyard

Washington Governor Wins by 10 Votes


I went to Target last night to buy a digital camera. Since it's a few days before Christmas all the employees were very busy helping the hive-like mass of customers find things. I didn't want to wait an hour to only have someone say they were out of the camera I wanted so I left without getting anything. I now regret this decision as I was awakened a few minutes ago by the large tree in my backyard crashing to the ground through countless wires attached to my house, making me think I was going to die. Surprisingly, none of the at least 10 wires were electrical, phone, or cable to my apartment. I wish I had a picture, though.

A Wind That Passeth Away

I saw the movie Kinsey on Monday night. It was pretty good. A tad self-righteous and moralistic ("See what bad things happen when you are sexually uninhibited!"). But for the heavy-handedness I would say it was a great movie.
