Birthdays and Eskimo Grandmothers
Today I feel: Pretty good, although a little of yesterday afternoon’s headache revisited this afternoon.
Today I did: Read journal articles. Unfortunately, some were crap. Went to have lunch with Shiaw-Ling, and she said that today is Candice‘s birthday! If I had known in advance, I would have bought ponies. However, I have many cool gifts from Japan that I have stashed for just such an occasion. We ate at Red Robin in Rivermark. The whole Human Computing staff and Candice’s newlywed husband, George, came. Fun was had by all. The gang was proud to show off their Eskimo Grandmother aspect of their ComicBase upgrade campaign. Eskimo Grandmother (a Candice Lucado original) has been seen around the office, prior, but she’s not the usual mainstream advertising figure, if you know what I mean…
TV I’m watching: Mostly just in the same room as Keith watches “Cops“.
What I’m reading: Journal articles, such as “Developing a Typology of Humor in Audiovisual Media”. Throne room reading is Penny Arcade: Attack of the Bacon Robots! (Another great humor comic. Not very carnivalesque, though…)
What I’m looking forward to: A new Project Runway tomorrow!
Current pet peeve: My cat smells like mildew. Why?
Days until thesis is DUE: 10…
