What I did on my summer vacation, by Cherry

[cherry]

I am afraid I have been somewhat missing. Again. Here is a brief overview of what I have been up to:

• Convocation! Yay! I may now legally call myself B.Sc., B.Eng. I won't, because sticking undergrad letters behind your name has a tendency to look a little silly, but I could.


• Work. ~50-60 hours a week. Shhh, don't tell the labour board.


• Finished ~0:30 of a Batman: TDK vid.


• Dragon boat practice! Dragon boat festivals, for those whose cities do not have them, involve 22 people attempting to race in a 1500 lb boat to raise money for charity. It is always a most awesome time.


• Re-finished same ~0:30 of TDK vid.


• I have been officially accepted into my graduate studies program. With funding, yay!


• Took grad photos for family of a friend. Am considering putting together a portfolio of portraits.


• Re-re-finished ~0:30 of TDK vid. Contemplated casting project files into the fires of Isengard.


• Acquired a lung infection. Forced to take two days off of work, missing two experiments, and not allowed to compete in dragon boat races. Contemplated casting lungs into the fires of Isengard.


• Accepted that when it comes to keeping up with the internet, I am sometimes a horrible person.


• Did further research. Decided the fires of Isengard are not concrete enough to cast my lungs into, nor are they metatextual enough to engulf my project files.


• Realized that OH MY GOODNESS, I am going to Chicago in t=2.5 weeks. VVC, YAY.

VVC YAY!

Sorry to hear about the lung infection, though. That's pants. ):

Re: Lungs: I am entirely displeased. I am making my frowning face.

Re: VVC: I am entirely pleased, but I believe I am starting to ramp to somewhat freaked out. I suspect people will be less frightening once I meet them, though.

We're not scary, honest! Did you see this post?

OOOOOH. I'm here when you need me!

VVC, YAY.

Yes, yay!!! I think I owe you email, hmmm.

Hee! It's been kicking around for a while now, and I keep redoing that same 30 seconds. It's one of a pair of what I'm thinking of a motion vidlets, but I keep getting distracted by trying to have meaning in them as well. The result is not enough thinky-ness to carry a normal vid, and not quite enough motion to make the first fact something which can be ignored.

You do owe me email! But you have only owed me email for about ten minutes, so I suppose I shall have to forgive you.

Just stopping by to wish you happy belated birthday. Hope you had a great day!

Thank you! I had a pretty kick-ass potluck.
