Blowing things up...for SCIENCE!
Things I did today rather than doing any of my actual work:
1. Took three hours to go shopping for snacks to take to my poetry class tomorrow (chocolate covered pretzels and popped potato chips, because cookies were too boring) and a belated birthday card for my grandfather. All in I think I spent a grand total of six dollars. So, you know, totally worth taking up my entire afternoon.
2. Went to hear Adam Savage give a talk at Dink. OMG THIS WAS SO AWESOME. And I almost didn't go - someone sent out an email about it just before dinner, and I was kind of meh, I've got a lot of studying to do. But then I realized that this was ADAM SAVAGE, so screw studying. My anthro midterm would still be there when I got home. By the time I got there, forty minutes before it was supposed to start, the line was already halfway to the plaza, and there were at least 100 people behind me. I guess Mythbusters is popular? WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED. And he was great - he talked about his experience with special effects engineering, and the process he and Jamie go through working on projects, and how working on the show has changed from the earlier seasons. And then he showed a video of him lighting his farts on fire and blowing up a house. So yeah. Awesome.
3. ( Making Sailor Senshi out of comic book characters: )
And now back to writing poetry and studying for my anthro midterm. Booooo.
