Carnival

Watching the Victoria Day fireworks at (on?) Lake Shore with nice-shrubbery and the-pleiades this evening…let’s hope it doesn’t rain!

EDIT: We took the bus in the wrong direction*, missed the fireworks, got caught in the rain, and took the bus back home. It was remarkably eventful.

* Yes, it is always nice-shrubbery’s fault :)

“One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way. As someone who matters. As someone who can make a difference in this world.”

Hi.

Fri, 17 May 2013 21:40:48 -0400

My dad restored my laptop to factory settings today and accidentally deleted everything.

All my assignments, lecture notes, job applications, movies and desktop backgrounds from the past year and a half—ever since I started my master’s program—were permanently deleted.

All my music was lost.

I had backups of my summer course materials and my poetry dating from September 2012 on a usb key; some of my music I had on CDs but most were painstakingly individually ripped from…uh, questionable sources.

I’m working slowly to restore everything; Brother Bear has been kind enough to bring his laptop to our lunch date next week so I can copy all the lecture ppts from last term.

It will be quiet on my end for the next few days in an effort to restore my life. Please be patient while I pull myself back together.

“Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.”

- Agnes De Miller

ACRE Units of Measure Calendar Poster

It beautifully features traditional units of measure like degree celsius, kilogram and hectare as well as less well-known units of measure like astronomical unit, decibel and aperture.

From the ACRE site:

Measurements are at the heart of analysis, testing and discovery. The British scientist Lord Kelvin once said, “When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers you know something about it.” In the same way, the calendar wishes to illustrate measurements commonly used by a wide spectrum of people. Find more traditional units of measure like degree celsius, kilogram and hectare as well as explore less well-known units of measure like astronomical unit, decibel and aperture. Of course, we couldn’t resist representing pica, a unit of measure synonymous with design.

And when you say, “I was actually thinking about messaging you,” you actually mean, “I haven’t spoken to you in the last 11 days,” right?

Save your excuses, Ruth.
