I was­n’t able to accom­plish any form of work today, and even though I feel com­plete­ly exhaust­ed, I have noth­ing to show for it. I did man­age to get my graph­ics pro­pos­al approved, how­ev­er, which will be to imple­ment a 3D Game of Life in OpenGL.

I went to Iain’s place yes­ter­day, since Jeff had to can­cel on me due to sick­ness, and we watched Rushmore. The walk home was great; the tem­per­a­ture was beau­ti­ful­ly brisk, and the fad­ing sun­set lin­gered in the dark­ened sky.

It was Pat’s birth­day today, but since I knew before­hand that I would­n’t be able to see him, I gave him a bot­tle of Huge Boss In Motion. I tried some of the oth­er colognes, but none of them seemed to fit him. Most of the brand names are very strong, so I find they don’t match the sub­tle pres­ence of most Asian indi­vid­u­als.

I got my RatpadGS today, and it works amaz­ing­ly well com­pared to my old mouse pad. I had no idea how much I had worn down the sur­face of the old one.

I went to my first NHL hock­ey game last week, and even though I’m a Leafs fan, I still enjoyed root­ing for the home team, watch­ing them win 3–2 in over­time. I’m sur­prised at how much small­er the rink looks com­pared to what it appears to be on TV. I had some great seats, and they only cost me $20.
