It Works!

I got this response from my TA about my programming homework, and it gave me such a good feeling.

Hi Elizabeth,

Yes, I am taking a look at it now .. for sure it runs on the input that you
provide in your input text, and I just have to make now more input texts so
that I can test your program on other inputs.

Cheers,

Filip

Went to a Movie

Last night I took the kids to a movie. We were planning on seeing Corpse Bride, but as we were standing in line an usher walked out and announced that it was sold out for the next showing. The only two movies that we could have seen were Penguin March and Just Like Heaven. It was a toss-up, but we decided to go to Just Like Heaven. I'm glad we did because it happens to feature one of my favorite actors. I also saw my soulmate on the way out of the mall.

Déjà Vu

I heard a noise coming from my son's bedroom. He was sitting on the floor, in the dark, looking at a television I had put there for temporary storage. The noise I heard was white noise. His face was lit by the pale blue glow of static.

He pressed the buttons on the tv a few times. Then I heard the sound of a person's voice. He had found a station.

He ran to me in the living room and said, "Mommy I made the tv work!"

He ran to the door and yelled to Emily at the bus stop, "Emily I made the tv work!"

MADONNA CATALOG

IF YOU WANT IT YOU CAN NOW GET IT

ALL OF HER ALBUMS
CAN BE WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO

ARE YOU READY

How cool is this? If you love Madonna like I do, this is a dream come true.

New Track

This is a cool song, originally by Hilary Duff (a.k.a. Lizzy McGuire). Here is a recording of me singing the chorus.

Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned

'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
Was no life
I defy

Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean

I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin

'Cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Then always staying in
Feel the wind

I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming...

Come Clean

Unsolicited

The phone rang. I answered it, "hello?"

The man on the line quickly said, "hi this is so-and-so from [something] student visa."

"What?" I asked.

He repeated, "hi this is so-and-so from [something] student visa. Who am I speaking with."

I thought, "don't call me and ask me who I am."

That sucked.

Tea Party

The Dormouse had closed its eyes by this time, and was going off into a doze; but, on being pinched by the Hatter, it woke up again with a little shriek, and went on: `--that begins with an M, such as mouse-traps, and the moon, and memory, and muchness-- you know you say things are "much of a muchness"--did you ever see such a thing as a drawing of a muchness?'

Directions

`In THAT direction,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, `lives a Hatter: and in THAT direction,' waving the other paw, `lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad.'

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.

`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'

`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.

`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
