Thry shouldn’t worry. If the grocery delivery service no-shows there as often as Amazon Fresh no-shows in the US (and then brings “warehouse fresh” food), few people will use it. Instacart would be better suited for Paris.

The operative word “destabilize” only applies to the food providers in this situation. As a lifeform, I mostly consume unfrosted blueberry pop-tarts. Local grocery outlets fail to see the need for this product anymore. But Amazon delivers this food staple in case sized quantities right to my doorstep.

Oh man, I had an Italian teacher like this. She was happy and enthusiastic when she was speaking Italian, but sullen and depressed when she had to speak English to us. Weird.

Can we pick a personality type by choosing a specific second language?

If getacollegelife closes, what’s going to take it’s place in the proverbial social media mall? Maybe “Justine’s Favorite Candy” - a retrospective.

Because that cold medicine can be used to make cheap meth that enslaves people in the cycle of addiction. The unlimited supply of bullets is bad too.

I have negelected you, I know.

Here, I brought you a picture from one of my classes. This is Professor Darwiche in CS161: Artificial Intelligence. Darwiche is now one of my favorite professors; I’ve learned a lot in his class. (He’s blurry here because he moves fast, like a cat!)

Finals are in a couple of weeks. I’m almost 1/3 of the way through my last year. After Christmas Break, I’ll have just 6 more months before I get my degree. It seems almost too easy, like “That’s it? I just had to take a bunch of classes and then you’ll hand me a diploma?” That’s it. You’re a college graduate. You have a degree. Done.

(God, I just reread this post. It’s painfully obvious by the style that I’ve just been writing a psychology case analysis. Sahara Desert.)

You could take a comfortable pillow and sit on a mountaintop and digest it all.

I’d love to come to YR Library some time when I’m not studying for anything and just grab random books off the shelves and read a bit of each.

It’s a trap. It’s a minefield of distractions for those of us with focus problems.

Back to the coding-is-like-an-upsetting-boyfriend-you-can’t-get-enough-of experience.

Started with the CS161 homework last week. Didn’t seem too hard. Until I started testing my first program (8 total in LISP language, which I didn’t yet know). Shit. Worked on it some more. Looking at every universities’ LISP slides to get the hang of it. Clock is ticking, had a week to do it and have spent 2 of those days NOT doing it right. Feel panic start to creep in. Not spending enough time on my other classes because of the CS work. Send out an e-mail/text blast to a TA and some of my classmates for help. Get some good insights. One friend sits with me and goes over some structural basics. Have 2 done now, need to debug 2 others. Feel better, but not finished. Tick tock. Another friend gives more insight. Another day passes. A TA gives guidance to an simple, elegant solution (always!) to one of them. Finally feel over the hump, but not finished. 5 done. I get a sitter for tonight so I can stay at school for as long as it takes to get all 8 done. More info/tutorials online. And just now finished all 8.

I told myself I could not have the last Butterscotch Life Saver until I was done.

LISP? Damn girl, that’s old! (much older than you and almost as old as me)

It this Putin’s new origin story?

Ha! I just read this in some interview I did with Rolling Stone in 1987. I don’t remember saying it, but here we are.

"Say there are ladders of options that we have," she says. "I admire people who aren't afraid to climb to the top of one ladder and realize they have all these other interests and options. To climb down that ladder and start on the next one is so admirable."

Justine Bateman is still climbing.

Wow, what a prophetic statement. We are both re-climbing right now.

This started in Amsterdam, but is now also done in the Dutch cities of Utrecht, Den Haag, Rotterdam and the Belgian city of Antwerpen. It is all done by volunteers, each of these cities has a number of “Poets on duty”. Some of them, like Neeltje Maria Min, Judith Herzberg, Bart Chabot and Eva Gerlach are well-known poets in The Netherlands. Apart form the poem, the volunteers select three pieces of music to be played at the funeral.

"The lifetime chance of an American being killed by international terrorism is about one in 80,000–about the same chance of being killed by a comet or a meteor." But the 9/11 attacks have so shaken this country’s confidence that Americans now routinely overreact to the slightest perceived threat. It is something Osama bin Laden knew would happen and something the American right’s Noise Machine has used to jerk its listeners’ chains for years. Americans of a certain sort are easily spooked.

Yahoo, have some sense. The very crowd you bought is going to walk the fuck out of here if you continue these antics.

You have no clue how to monetize poeple like us. No clue.

I thought is was an early moon...but it was just a moon.

What if you took your backpack and put it on the ground in a hundred lecture halls and then put on the ground in 2-3 years of campus bathroom visits and then when it’s nice and disgusting, put it on top of a library table.

Doesn’t that sound great?
