Uggggggggh. I hate cars.


Anyway.

Cars are pretty neat, they're a bit too expensive though.

Lancaster, Pennsylvania?

The Netherlands? You can get by with a bicycle and public transport without much difficulty. Rent is cheaper than in NY as well.

Bikes are awesome, come to Portland.

I can get the large gay scene without the physical exertion in New York.

You only think that's good because you haven't randomly wandered into a parade of art students before.

One time my sister and I were walking down into lower Manhattan from Central Park (and I was in new shoes... that was fun).

Suddenly, we find ourselves unable to keep going, because this huge "parade" was going on. But it was pretty much the least organized parade ever. It was like every single NYU student, New School student, etc. had all decide to paint their bodies and wear crazy costumes, etc. The floats were pretty much just built onto Pickup Trucks (and they were freaking AMAZING, because that's what happens when a bunch of college-age art students get to make floats that aren't for marketing purposes).

Also, a whole crapton of naked/half-naked (noteworthy because "half-naked" doesn't really mean what we're used to here).

And it just kept going and going and going, lol. It turns out this parade wasn't even celebrating anything in particular - student organizations at NY schools just decided they wanted to do it, coordinated with each other, and did it.

Was awesome.

That's more bathroom stories it seems. I'll settle for the ones about naked people as well though. Is good stuff.

Some of them are just awful. I've seen some decent trailers and such over time, but the overwhelming majority really aren't watchable. I get football video game commercials during a football match and stuff, but most of the time I wonder what I'm watching that made them think I'd like what they're trying to sell me.

Ow.

You didn't need that ankle anyway right?

Blegh, AC Milan going through with anti-football, making absolutely disgusting fouls and wasting time from 10 minutes in. They were probably the better team in the end but it's sad to see their dreadfully boring and cowardly way of playing succeed vs Ajax's enthusiastic and often attractive play purely on tricks and Ajax' lack of experience.

Horse:

If I get into the PhD programme I want, I'll have to use Fortran or C. My first choice project involves writing a linear scaling algorithm to compute large matrices of second derivatives (where large means you have ~10⁵ or so rows/columns). In CUDA.

I know some CUDA, but I'm better at designing the algorithms than I am at implementing them.

Because schools and exams are often stupid. I know you have to understand how **** works but if a computer is always going to do the actual work I don't see the value in being able to do it perfectly yourself.
