Isn't he just the cutest evah? Of course, mecha thinks that all the massive dragons are the cutest Yu-Gi-Oh cards, but he sucks.

If I am lucky this adorable little fellow will soon be mine for the cost of a few bucks including shipping. I actually don't want Gora Turtle specifically, I want the other cards in this particular eBay lot, but still. Cute!

I am such a Yu-Geek. ...-Oh.

Oh, and ripping off apm: REAL news headline: "Zombies defeat robot Jesus". Glee.

In Which Jenny Is, As Usual, Weird

It's an utterly gorgeous day today. Gray, darkish, raining. Been raining all day, shows no signs of letting up now. Beautiful. While waiting for the bus to take me to class, I found myself just looking around and feeling this wonderful sense of peace. Everything is so glorious when it rains.

Well, not quite everything. While waiting for the bus to take me back home after class, I noticed an earthworm squiggling in vain to get out from someone else's shoe. Then I noticed the other earthworms scattered across the sidewalk. And for the next five minutes or so, until the E came, I just watched them and pondered on their sad lot. Brave little travelers making a daring, desperate trek across an alien landscape, they seek for a patch of dirt, any little patch of dirt, that's not completely flooded. But there isn't any. So they roam the hard, cold sidewalks, drops of rain sometimes bigger around than they are stabbing down at them, until eventually they either drown, get stepped on, or get stuck to be later dried out and killed by the sun.

I would've rescued all the lively-looking ones (of which there were quite a few) if not that I knew they probably wouldn't survive till I got them up here to the nice pots full of dry, warm soil.

On what's probably a more significant note for my own personal doings (although I don't consider the plight of earthworms insignificant, for I am a freak), I had a programming test today. Twas the practical exam, meaning instead of doing multiple-guess things on pre-existing bits of code, we wrote a program from scratch to solve a problem. My problem was to take a user-inputted string and see if it was a palindrome; spaces and punctuation counted as part of the string, so "Madam, I'm Adam" wouldn't count, but "madamimadam" would. It gave me a bit of trouble at first, but in the end I was victorious. I slammed that test. I came, I saw, I kicked its object-oriented ass. That was some of the prettiest code I've ever written, and I might post it later to simultaneously show it off and show just how sad I am that THIS is the best I can do. It'll probably be a friends-only post, though, since I need to cover my ass in case someone else in the class looks at my Oncourse profile, follows the link to Snail Dust, follows the link from THERE to HERE, and also happened to have the palindrome problem so just steals my code. Cheating is bad, mmmkay?

Then, after I'd finished the test, I went to the union to waste a dollar on Medieval Madness. Except it didn't turn out that way. First I played a sucky game, but matched for a free replay. Then, on that replay, I did the VERY BEST I have EVER done at MM -- 22 million points and change, and the replay was only at 11 mil (although after I got done, that went up to 16...). So that netted me a free replay, after I'd finished playing my three balls, plus the extra ball I got, plus the multiball and the multiball madness.

The third game was uneventful. But I decided to save my other quarters for another time. Thus three games for only one set of quarters. Hooray!

Typey typey ph00. I am eating utterly delicious leftover pizza, and none of you get ANY. So there. Anyone who lives near Bloomington/has a local Greek's, though, you MUST get a cheese pizza from these people, their sauce is HEAVENLY. And now I go. FOREVAH

and, yes, yet another userpic

I don't exactly read PA usually, but I still know genius when I see it.
