Slide projectors are so 1970s and I can't find one at my school to use and I don't want to buy one.

Ooh, remember the slide projector thingies where you played an audio tape, and the tape would beep and the slide projector would automatically move to the next slide? Those were cool.

Kat-- do you know any professors? For some reason, at my Uni, the professors always seem to come up with a slide projector somehow when I cannot find one for them.

I am thinking of trying to hunt up my VCD of last year's Christmakkuh episode to watch... one of my favorites,because I ADORE the Summer as well as the Seth and she is so adorable n the ep.

Once I was driving to Madison from Chicago (on 90) during a storm. The roads were fine in IL, but as soon as I crossed the state line into Wisconsin the roads suddenly were icy as hell, and there were about a half-dozen cars in the ditch just in the first few miles of Wisconsin highway.

I had the same experience driving from near Madison to Cleveland. Rain started around Chicago, ice near Gary. Somewhere around Toledo, we crossed a warm front and switched over to pea-soup fog. It was a vast improvement.

WAH! Don't wanna go to work!!!!!

I think they do less salting in Wisconsin in order to protect the environment.

I grew up in a town with a large reservior, and they never salted.

I'm sorry Allyson (also flea about the ice storm! Gah!)

I am just so happy I didn't have to go to work, as yesterdya had me searching for dishwasher sized boxes for my boss to wrap her children's gifts in as well as building a database for registrations. My job is wierd!

From Wired:

It'll Cost Ya, Dude

If male crickets live fast they die young, according to Australian researchers. Scientists at the University of New South Wales fed one group of field crickets a protein-rich diet and another group a protein-poor diet. The best-fed male insects burned themselves out with their tireless trilling mating calls, causing them to die sooner than their malnourished, quieter counterparts. The pattern was not mirrored in females, who do not indulge in mating calls. "Only high quality males can bear the costs of an extreme sexual display," scientists said in an article published in the medical journal Nature. "Sexual advertisement is costly."

Good idea, Sophia. I'm also going to ask a friend who is a photography to see if she has any ideas. ARGH.

I think I'll watch it on DVD today or tomorrow.
