I just wrote code that contains a year 2048 bug. And I don't intend to fix it until 2047.

I just noticed that since I got my PowerBook, it has actually resided on my lap for about 95% of the time I've spent using it. A laptop that actually resides on a lap. Some how this seems rather odd.

I saw Batman Begins opening afternoon with Matt, despite Vim's plans for seeing it Friday evening. I must say, I have never been so pleased with a Batman before. Christian Bale brought something to Bruce Wayne that Val Kilmer and Michael Keaten never came close to achieving. He was just so perfect. And ignoring Katie Holmes complete lack of talent, this was by far the best Batman movie. Christopher Nolan's Gotham left Tim Burton's fluorescent interpretation in the dust (for anyone who has not seen my dvd collection, that is saying quite a bit). I'm going to stop there, since I assume that not everyone has seen the movie yet.

In more exciting news, there have been two earthquakes since I got to Los Angeles. I had the misfortune to sleep through the first one, but I was very much awake for the second. A little disconcerting at first, but not particularly exciting. It was approximately the feeling of being in the Ruggles elevator, on one of the trips where you can't help but to pray that the elevator cable won't snap. Somewhat disappointing. :-/

It came today! I am using it now! It is named bender!

I am going to go take a shower!

Wheee!

I'm having a harder and harder time coming to terms with the fact that I'm leaving on Thursday. Even though I know that I'll still be coming back to New Jersey many times over the next {x|x is the number of years necessary to earn my masters} years, something keeps telling me that this move is of the permanent type. While growing up, Meredith and I always talked about moving to Los Angeles when we were older. Now here I am, actually doing it, and all I want to do is stop packing and curl up in my bed. I keep telling myself that I'll be fine once I get there, and especially once I get a job (damn New Jersery address).

In related news, I'm almost done packing. This is good in that I'll be able to mail off all the boxes tomorrow and finish everything else. This is bad in that I'll probably have too much free time tomorrow night.

On the other side of things, I'm really looking forward to the beach. A picnic on the beach. The beach always makes everything better. Unless you drown. But I don't plan on doing that.

Now I should go surround my books with bubble wrap, styrofoam, and cardboard. And finish cleaning up the disaster formerly known as the living room.
