what's the best way to get starwars tickets for opening night at the best theater in town? know a friend who's nerdy enough to sit there for a day reloading movielink.com until it works, and have him reserve a ticket for you.

i just happen to be in the highest nerd-density city in the world, and i know several such nerds. in fact, brian my suitemate is one such nerd. and i have a ticket.

star wars baby, yeah!

i think people that waited outside the theaters had it all wrong. most of my friends got tickets in the first few hours by dilligently waiting as the phone was busy or as netscape said "contacting host www.movielink.com..."

it's weird to think that the first star wars movie came out when i was 2... i hope they mention toshi station again. power converters baby, yeah!

also today was my last class. no more classes for several months. that's a good feeling.

my presentation went ok; i felt like an ass, and they asked a bunch of questions i didn't know the answer to, but they understood because i'm just a lowly nuke-E. i don't think the paper is worth writing home about, and i hope he'll give me a B, but it's over now and i don't have to think about it anymore.

also this evening i finished my final project for 22.55 with evan. for the first time in a long time, i got to code perl for something useful. we got great monte carlo data, and the machine is running the final dataset of 25,000 particles overnight.

so, the only academic thing that remains for me is the 22.55 final on monday. so it's a study-weekend for me. i'll probably slack off some tomrrrow, then work like a maniac on saturday or sunday. or maybe i'll slack them off too. haha

tomorow is the ultimate BBQ (i'm sure of it this time), and i roshambo dean for the jersey. nothing beats rock.
