I can taste it

Details:

So today was Wednesday and that means the LnL meeting. Since its the end of the term there weren't any events but we still needed to pick the T-Shirt for this year. Well I'm happy to report that for the second year in a row my design was chosen. The year was a take off of Snakes on a Plane. You can check it out at the LnL Wiki. The tshirts will come in, in a few weeks.

Big Picture:

C-Term is ridiculously close to being over. I don't even know what I'm going to do for a week with no school. Oh wait, yeah I do. ENJOY IT! going to be the last time I get a week to do nothing before I have a real job.

C Term, almost gone.

Details:

Today was Tuesday, that means Coffee House. I CCed again. Artist was Eric Hutchinson. He was pretty good. We had some trouble with the amp rack. Spooky feed back that persisted even when the levels on the mixer were down. I suspect its the cross overs but I don't have any real proof. Post Coffee House activities were a little subdued but that's ok, it was still fun.

Chatted with Paul about his web start-up. He thinks he might have some patented-able code between the work he and Arture have done. (I hope I spelled Arture's name correctly.)

Big Picture:

C Term is almost over. It hasn't been as depressing as C-Term's in the past, though this has been, without question, the easiest one.

I was supposed to have given up soda for my lenten-esque sacrifice. I don't consider myself religious anymore so I can't really say I do "lent" anymore. It was just easy to keep to the time frame so many others are currently using. Though it hardly matters anymore since I've basically given up on it. Problem is the point of giving up soda wasn't just to prove I could but to lose weight. Something I need to do, but don't want to commit to. I've been fooling myself into thinking I could play enough squash to make a difference, but that just isn't true. I need to change what and how I eat which is really depressing.

New Format

When I was in fifth grade I started a handwritten journal. I wrote in it off and on again for several years and after a while I developed a format. Each entry would have two sections: Daily Details, and The Big Picture. This format came from the observation that my meatier posts tended to have those two basic elements in them. Details about what I did that day, things like "went to the bank, hung out with Saul", and reflections on bigger issues, which at the time were things like "I think I have a crush on Nicole."

I'm pretty happy about the fact that I kept a journal. Every now and then I'd spend a night re-reading those old entries and the insight into my former life was always amazingly fascinating. Being older I could pick out patterns and trends in my life that were completely subconscious at the time.

So I plan on implementing that format now. My hope is that it will promote well developed and well thought out entries and discourage lazy, short, almost useless entries for the sake of entries. If previous performance is any indicator, I'll give up on that like most of this blog. Also, I hopefully won't say too much. I always hate the way people use these things as an excuse to say things they ought not to in public and thus draw attention to themselves.

So lets give this a shot.
