The <strong>Life Aquatic<\/strong> was funny, but a bit too random for my tastes, and thus, I place it below the <strong>Royal Tenenbaums<\/strong>. Now that DJ is gone, I&#8217;m still on a strict vampire schedule. Somehow I&#8217;ll work it so that my sleeping accomodates my day job. We&#8217;ll see come 10 tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n<p>As for now, I&#8217;m rocking out, loudly and alone, in the Leverett library to Sublime&#8217;s Santeria courtesy of my little sib Sarah and her two-CD compilation &#8220;CD for Josh.&#8221; I woke up this evening around 5pm to dine with her at Bertucci&#8217;s and wander the campus before my tutorial at 7pm and her departure to Australia this Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m taking the same tutorial I took last summer with the very same Aaron. He&#8217;s an affable fellow, a mathematical string theorist (as opposed to the physical kind), but affable even still. It&#8217;s nice to hear about differential geometry. Escpecially since my tutorial paper topic can coincide with my thesis topic.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here in the library: to work on notes on Clifford algebras. It&#8217;s taking longer than I anticipated to get to spinors proper. Then again, I&#8217;m working less than I had anticipated as well. I don&#8217;t need to explain direct correlations such as this to you. It&#8217;s hard to know whether I need to know the transformer characterisation of the Clifford group or not. But I&#8217;m sure I don&#8217;t need to explain my confusion to you, either. And that&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve ended up doing the opposite of math. Nothing spells procrastination like a personal dance party, facebooking, and blogging in the library. Well, one thing. And that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m meeting Lisa Xu at 12mid for drinks. Well, not to procrastinate, to catch up, of course. She&#8217;s just returned from Austin, TX, and she&#8217;s brought me stories and souvenirs. Who could turn that done, I ask you, who, indeed?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having spent the holiday weekend primary with Teymour and DJ, I&#8217;ve spent most of my days asleep and most of my nights well-fed and watching movies.
