Don't Godwin the Root Beer

Man, I haven't had time to write in a while. It's been another busy week: Squeky!Alex's 21st on Friday (complete with a keg and 6 gallons of ice cream), a strange nightclub on Saturday, the end of the radio play I Love Bees, a flamewar on Randomness after some semi-famous kid wrote a rather scathing post about Olin in his blog (parts of his post are way off, although some of it is just that awesome!Mel and squeky!Alex aren't his sort of crowd; you'll get pretty much the whole story if you read the comments), the end of my first MatSci project, and the start of a project getting a bug tracker implemented for the school (not for software written at the school, for Olin itself), mid-semester feedback for SRC (this week's was the best class so far), learning the last characters of hiragana, and lots and lots of work...

My parents are showing up tomorrow for Family Weekend.

And I bought a new bike from Wally the Wellesley bike dude. Mountain bike, 21 speeds, good condition, $50. Most excellent.
