I really hated this past week. I knew technology would be my bane the moment the ATM ate my card, and I’ve run on little sleep every night. But it wasn’t all bad. Some of it was quite nice.<\/p>\n
Monday:<\/em> During class, my instructor offers up a really good Michael Caine quote: "You may hate the movie, but you’ll love the house I bought it with." My instructor is co-writing with a hitmaking songwriter on a project, and they’re doing something geared for radio. When some of my classmates teased him for selling out, his response was, "Eat me."<\/p>\n Tuesday:<\/em> I stop by Waterloo to compare prices on the Battlestar Galactica<\/em> Season 2.5 DVD set. At first, I decide to get it from Best Buy when I bought my new hard drive, but then I got to talking with the classical expert about Shostakovich’s string quartets. I end up getting the Fitzwilliam Quartet cycle, and I figure since I’m spending that much, I’ll just throw in Battlestar Galactica<\/em> with it. Season 3 starts Oct. 6!<\/p>\n Wednesday:<\/em> I go to the Blogger meet-up, my first in a long time.<\/p>\n Thursday:<\/em> I worry about my performance review at work because I blew off this research project I was supposed to be doing, but as it turned out, the head of the department has cooled off on the project itself. So I dodge that bullet. Aside from that, everyone loves me.<\/p>\n
