i've been watching a lot of curb your enthusiasm lately. the one with the orthodox jews at the ski lodge = omg.

Yeah, but why didn't Rachel call someone to help them herself?
― jaymc, Monday, 10 December 2007 18:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Good point! It would have been better if they didn't force the cell phone in so that Larry could make that call at the end.

does anyone else bother with hotmail accounts anymore? i haven't been able to get into mine for days because of this new windows live thing. i did a google search and found lots of complaints from ppl who couldn't get into their email, and also this post:
Hello i live in Kenya and i just opened my windows live email I.D and i am loving it everyday
this shit is srsly annoying me though.

All my personal stuff is on Gmail now and spammy/ordering stuff is on Yahoo.

I have too many friends still using hotmail. I finally convinced one to switch to gmail, and gmail prompty suspended his account for a few days because they thought he was a spambot for some reason. :(

my plate is full tonight, stew making, baby sitting, record release show going, beer drinking, regret making, etc.

am i an evil person for only emailing my family from my hotmail spammy/ordering account, and leaving my personal gmail account non-family?
my mom does spam me with bs forwards though.

kevin, i hope you are scheduling the regret-making after the baby-sitting.

yeah, i'm *hoping* i won't have to do the baby sitting as caring for an actual infant baby scares the living crap out of me. i told them they should just prop the kid up on a bar stool during soundcheck. they sell earplugs there, i don't know what the problem is.
― chicago kevin, Monday, 10 December 2007 19:22 (sixteen years ago) link
The problem is that can she even hold her own head up yet? Actually she probably can, she's older than I originally thought.
― Laurel, Monday, 10 December 2007 19:28 (sixteen years ago) link
they've got a car seat, strap that thing to a stool.

apparently kids are still into ska? and have ska bands? i don't know if this is reassuring or worrying.
― Jordan, Monday, 10 December 2007 20:36 (sixteen years ago) link
It gives them a reason to learn the trombone, I guess.
― Laurel, Monday, 10 December 2007 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link
I like it when brass instruments stay relevant.
^^^i have very mixed feelings about this. although, one of our best trombone players started in ska.

good ska is good music, bad ska is bad music

getting references for grad school = ;_; x 1,000,000
i am going to get one from my boss, no biggy. but academic references are important. i am trying to get one from a prof. who i only had for one class, but it was psychology of religion, and my majors were psych and religion, and he gave me an A-. however, i sucked overall in psych so if he looks at my overall gpa for that major then i am screwed. meanwhile, only two of the religion profs i had are still teaching at w&m and i didn't do too impressively in either of their classes (one gave me a C+ and a B, other one gave me a C+ and a B-). i got good grades in other religion classes but none of those profs are there anymore, most are probably retired and i can't remember their names anyways because it was 7+ years ago. what was i doing in college?
― n/a, Monday, 10 December 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link
i need two refs. for one school, so that's not too much of a problem, i can use my boss and hopefully the psych of religion prof. but the other school wants three references. for the third do i use a) a professor who won't remember me and who didn't give me very good grades or b) my boss from richmond
ugh
― n/a, Monday, 10 December 2007 21:06 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't know what I'm talking about, bbbbuut... Maybe it's ok to use the Richmond boss since you haven't been in school for so long?
― KitCat, Monday, 10 December 2007 21:13 (sixteen years ago) link
i emailed one of the religion profs anyways, asking if i can send her my resume and update her on what i've been doing since graduation and we'll talk about a reference once she's had a chance to read it. if i feel like her reference will be no good i can just not use it.
now for a nap

― KitCat, Monday, 10 December 2007 21:29 (sixteen years ago) link
I wouldn't think a prof being at the same school you graduated from is a requirement for using them as an academic reference? If that's the case I'm never ever going to be able to go to grad school because most of the profs I would ask for a reference have left MTU by now.
― dan m, Monday, 10 December 2007 21:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh man, I would hate to have to get refs for grad school. I've been out of school for 3 years and my last 2 semesters were trainwrecks. Right now though my boss likes me and I'm going to be enrolled in undergrad again, so I guess I have a second chance.
Nick, have you decided what you're going for? Did you say it and I missed it?
― Jesse, Monday, 10 December 2007 21:51 (sixteen years ago) link
My finger hurts. I cut it on a stone crab claw last night and there is a flap of skin hanging off of it. So worth it, though nomnomnom.
― Jesse, Monday, 10 December 2007 21:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I have no idea what I would do either. I could do R1chard D4vis, and then maybe track down the one professor whose class I actually liked, participated in, and did okay in.
Where did you eat, Jesse?
― Jordan, Monday, 10 December 2007 21:53 (sixteen years ago) link
What Dan said, unless Nick means that he can't track down the profs who have left or retired. (Although I would think the school might be able to help you with that.)
