I am getting very sleepy...

Woke up way too early today to go to a meeting. Said meeting took about two hours (from the intended start time, though someone was fifteen minutes late), and the conference room was a bit chilly. By the end I thought I was going to end up frozen, and my thoughts had pretty much crystallized into a crawl. Good thing we finished up then, it took me a good thirty minute walk to thaw out, and I even managed to acquire lunch on the way back. It was another of Ernie's taco specials, this time a different type of pork, whose spanish name I have forgotten, but distinctly different from the usual carnitas and spicy pork tacos I have gotten. Very tasty though. This afternoon was hectic, turns out some of our big compute machines were down, and the only eight-node machine that was up had another grad student's processes running on it (eight of them), and they were nice'd up to altogether annoying amounts of load. So I ended up having to use the four node machine, which worked out okay, though I have left it running tonight in hopes of having enough cascade data to email out tomorrow.

This evening I called up F, as it is her birthday (Hi! Happy Birthday!) and discussed her plans to be out in the LA area. It looks like C+J are moving from Las Vegas now, and she is headed out there to help with the move / play with the baby and just visit people in LA. Should be cool, we'll hopefully get together when we're back from Florida.

Also today, in World of Warcraft, was a raid upon the dread dungeon Karazhan. Spooooky! I was leading this one and it worked out pretty well. Even better, the class make-up was such that I filled a dps spot as a retribution paladin, and I have to say did very respectably. Two were ahead of me in damage, and it was extremely close up til the end so it wasn't as if I was getting blown away. A lot of that had to do with having L's character Icespark in the group, as an enhancement shaman always makes other melee classes work well. One of the other two I was close to was also melee though, so it was a pretty fair comparison. Anyways, this was the last raid I'm leading until next week, and it's always nice to have a break from leading.

And... that's it! I've got a bit of other stuff to do before going to bed (it being 2 AM), and so I should finish up and sleep.
