My Box In a Box: Secrets revealed

By Janet | February 6, 2007

Watch as the world learns the secret behind My Box In a Box in this exclusive video with its creators. Watch as one of them is clearly regreting a trip to London. The fancy YouTube movie-box doesn’t seem to be showing up for me. If this is the case for you, you can watch the [...]

Classes, et cetera

By Janet | January 25, 2007

Here is yet another post on optimism about the coming semester! I got to campus last Sunday, and spent Monday doing errands and meeting with people about the course I’m CAing.  Tuesday I worked on the website for that course and went to work, where I heard my boss’s excellent wedding story.  His wife is [...]

Arisia, etc.

By Janet | January 17, 2007

So I sent my computer away to Apple Land for a new optical drive. I got one, it seems to work much better, I am happy. However, when I got my computer back, I found on the desktop two screencaps (or “VLC snaps”) from the opening credits of Pirates. Whaaaa? I find this hilarious. This [...]

The unchanging Civic Center, and Heroes

By Janet | January 8, 2007

The only reason I am awake right now is that I donated blood at 12:30.  The blood drive was held in the Civic Center, a large building in the center of town that holds a gymnasium, a fitness center, a lot of town offices, various events… it’s probably the building (other than my house and [...]

Bon voyage!

By Janet | January 5, 2007

Mad and Jeffrey (and Danzig, though I doubt he’ll see this): Have an awesome time in Israel!  Take lots of pictures and have lots of stories when you come back.  But please don’t get bombed.

I (heart) Wes Anderson.

By Janet | January 4, 2007

I just finished watching Rushmore, and it was amazing.  I love Wes Anderson movies.  They have so much heart–I mean, they’re completely ridiculous, but the characters take themselves so seriously.  They make me feel wonderful.  Now I really want to see Life Aquatic again.  *sigh*  Why isn’t it on the network? I’m knitting a sock.  [...]

Blood Diamond and high school friends.

By Janet | January 4, 2007

Tonight I went out to dinner and to see Blood Diamond with a couple high school friends–one of whom (Melissa) I usually get together with once over breaks and one of whom (Albert) I haven’t seem since graduation.  It was really nice, really easy to fall back into the old friendships.  We were able to [...]

In which Janet talks to strangers and is a huge geek.

By Janet | January 3, 2007

So I was at Roche Bros. today picking up some dinner supplies (I cooked, as I will be doing frequently for the rest of break), and I got in the 12 Items or Less line behind a guy, about 35 or 40, with a shaved head and goatee. After glancing at me a few times, [...]

I hung around and then went to the aquarium!

By Janet | December 31, 2006

Yesterday I spent 24 hours in a row on the couch. I got up only to use the bathroom and fetch food, which I then ate on the couch. During this couch time I watched Jesus Camp, which was very interesting and also frightening. Today was a bit more productive. I went to the aquarium [...]
