Ok, so I thought I’d post what I got up to around the Halloween time. It started the Thursday before Halloween… all of this I actually did write down at the time, I just didn’t post it. Woops.

Had a meeting in the morning with YongChul, another student of Magda’s that is working on the Borealis system I’m going to be modifying for my research. That was ok, although I’m still not sure I follow everything that’s going on.

Went back to my office and worked on doing some emails and stuff, then working some more on reading papers and extracting useful information for research. It seems like “research” involves a lot of paper-reading.

Went to my web-weaving class… again reaffirming that I could be teaching the class, although at the least it’s getting pretty interesting now with some more complex JavaScript.

I then went on a costume mission with my ADP friends and got some stuff for tomorrow night (and Halloween Day I guess). All in all a fun trip, although I spent a little more than I thought I would. ^^;

Animation class was pretty good, we had a technical game artist come in, which is like the in-between guy between the artists and the programmers. He talked at a mile a minute about what he did, but it sounded pretty awesome. His company has some internship opportunities as well, so I’ll follow up on that in the next couple of days to see if there’s something there.

After that I went home and did a whole bunch more work.

I also had a discussion with Jenny today about movies and movie ratings. Since she doesn’t watch “R” movies, I was looking up all the movies I thought were awesome and seeing what they were. This has further embedded my belief that Americans are silly and prudish. They have movies rated “M” or “PG-13″ in New Zealand that are rated “R” here in the US. How stupid is that? I mean, really. Such excellent movies as Lost in Translation (figure that out) and lots of other brilliant movies as well. Truly bizarre.
