Basketball Sized Chocolate Mud Baby

It's from Robot Chicken - don't ask.

Yesterday, I went to school, read a technical paper related to my thesis, went to the most boring class ever, came back, and did next to nothing. The class wasn't as bad as it has been some days, but that's not saying much. I don't like the book, and he's teaching from the book almost directly. In fact, he's almost doing the one thing I hate most from teachers - reciting the book back to the class. He does try to offer explanations and put things in context, so it's not unbearable yet, but this is easily the worst class I've had at UTSI.

Today, Amy came over, and she, Lee, and I worked on missile designs most of the afternoon. Mine is coming along nicely, Lee's is a little farther behind, and Amy is planning on skipping the rest of the steps.

Lee and I are getting almost proficient at our meals now. We've done fried chicken and tacos since we've been back, and even tried a marinated-steak-in-tortilla-wrap. I hesitate to call it a fajita, but that's what we were going for. It's not up to the level of the old stand-bys, but it was tasty, and a nice first attempt.

Mythbusters formula for success: large explosions. That's all you need. Big go boom. More tomorrow.

I'm not skipping steps! I'm simply yada-yada-ing through some less than important parts...

Like I said, skipping steps. If I thought they were important steps, I'd tell you and suggest you not skip them.
