Steve's (utterly unrelated) three points

Being grown up is loading the dishwasher instead of washing the fork you need.
Alternately: Being grown up is cleaning your apartment even though you pay someone to clean it.

Windowless lecture halls are great for light shows.
Alternately: Don't cheat if your exam is in the morning -- your proctor is cranky and hopes you fail.

Finals week means a break from everything -- somehow it is more true now than ever.
Alternately: Finals week means nothing on the agenda -- I'm not going to work unless I feel like it.

Qatar sunrise

After an hour and 15 minutes of playing the Line Game, I drove to Diary Queen to get fries. Day was about to break; I contemplated driving out to the Corniche to catch the sunrise. Instead I came home, ate my fries and smashed a couple of mosquitoes in the bathroom.

It's been nearly two years since I last saw the sun rise. I suppose that must mean that life's been good for a while. I missed the actual sunrise, but the view from my balcony shortly afterwards is not bad.


And since I'm blogging now and I don't blog often, I'd like to mention that you know it was a pretty good night when you wake up mid-afternoon and find your apartment looking like this. (No, I remember.)
