Blocking
Again, I plan to write, and, again, I'm scatterbrained.
I feel awful. For the final project in POE, our group is making a robot that dances to music. I'm on software, and I'm totally failing to find any libraries (preferably in Python), that will let me play music and analyze the waveform in some manner such that I can do beat detection. Very frustrating...
Plus, I've got a report for social psych (on the Rawandan genocide) due in less than two weeks (and I haven't started it). I've got some other reading for that class as well. Plus, I've got a lot of computational modeling homework due on Monday.
I've been having an annoying recurring dream where I sleep in and miss a class, can't remember the work that was assigned, and (just to make things as absurd as possible) can't even remember the topic of the class. It's one of those dreams that's obviously a dream while I'm dreaming it, but seems like a memory when I wake up (until I think about it and realize that it's extremely inconsistant with reality).
I took the train in to MIT on Friday to return some stuff to the Anime Club library. I remember being startled out of sleep when the conductor shouted, "South Station, final stop!", and getting the impression that I had been thinking / dreaming about something terribly important, but I couldn't remember what it was.
I read some more of Cryptonomicon. I had to put the book away on the T because I couldn't keep from laughing out loud.
There was a mech design challenge this weekend, so people were building hovercraft from random junk, remote controlled propellers, plastic bags, and blue foam. The end results were pretty nifty...
