I'm getting really annoyed at the clowns who are revving their motors outside at midnight. Option 1: close all windows, suffer from heat, get every roommate in a bad temper. Option 2: keep windows open, hear imbeciles at every hour of the night. Option 3: gripe at the Hilltop office or something. Other options (like bestowing instant death) are not seriously available.

One of the things that rends me is having to deal with conflict between two people I respect. I've been through the divorce of parents, roommates getting annoyed with each other, and mailing list flame wars. It's so depressing.

I've read through 218 (and counting) MegaTokyo comics in the past 3 days. That rate should decline drastically, and soon. But not tonight. I can sort of identify with the Piro character. Some of the author's rants are very worthwhile, like this one.

It's hard to "translate" oneself into a medium. Blogging, for example. I tend to mostly blog when I feel negative. It's not a fair representation of who I am and my range of outputs. Emotions are strange.

On a lighter note, happiness found me a few times today.

• My partner for my Algorithms class is a grad student, and seems like a really neat guy.
• I tried Wikifying some of My Notes. I'm really happy with the way the PDF of my ENGL421 Project 1 notes turned out. The latex publishing went very smoothly — it's easily the most professional-looking document I've ever printed out.
