Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

Only eight more hours until Spring Break ends and HAS and my research paper start devouring my free time again. If the second prediction from my dream is right, this is my last weekend before the apocalypse. *sigh*

Random quiz of the day:



Doubt it. :(

I now pronounce you journal and repost

It's almost my bedtime, so I'll just say this: I'm glad that the current assignment in HAS is the last one with a design to make that's guaranteed to be before the apocalypse.

I don't have time to come up with a repost button caption either (Actually I do since I'm adding them retroactively, but shh)

So I'm up to 485 words in my HAS essay now, and there are some things that pathvain_aelien suggested I talk about but I haven't been able to work into the essay yet, which will likely eventually add in the remaining 15 words. Then I'll have to draw the future space shuttle I talked about. Blah.

2009 has been a very depressing year, and because I still have eight more HAS assignments and the final after this (assuming the apocalypse isn't March 25 [it's been forever since I actually linked to that dream]), 2010 will too, at least at first. :(

Celestial Renewable-Tank Hybrid Repost

Okay, nothing apocalypsey happened 100 days before the March 25 possiblecalypse, but 99 days before it (i.e. last night), I had a dream involving 666 flavored water. 666 flavored water? 666 flavored water? 666 flavored water? That's either an ominous sign or Sketch-a-Doodle's favorite drink. Or both, possibly.

Anyways, I think I did well on the anatomy, Bible, and history exams. Tomorrow is my English exam.

I also went shopping for Christmas presents with pathvain_aelien today. Yay!

666-flavored repost

So it turns out my mom didn't feel like taking me to the ACT test today and decided to reschedule it. Yay! I got to go back to bed and have a really, really weird dream. (I mean, seriously, even if a villain creates monsters by drawing them, "Sketch-a-Doodle" still sounds more like the name of a toy [like Etch-a-Sketch] than the name of a villain. What's even creepier is that pathvain_aelien mentioned "snickerdoodle" cookies not too long after I got up. Coincidence?)

After contemplating my Sketch-a-Doodle dream and decorating the Christmas tree, I finished all of my non-essay homework except for one of the math problems in HAS and just a few more review questions for the history and English exams! Yay!

Somewhat fitting quiz of the day:



I'm assuming "the apocalypse might be March 25 like my dream said" counts as a "vague little stanza."

Repost-a-Doodle (I guess that's Sketch-a-Doodle's cousin or something?)

I found a very bizarre glitch in my iPod today.

Y'see, I was listening to Backwards by Rascal Flatts, and apparently paused it the instant the song ended and put my iPod in my pocket so it would automatically turn off. The next time I turned it on, the song it was playing was Adia by Sarah McLachlan, but the screen still said Backwards. I just now got the opportunity to see what happens if I listen to "Adiwards" by "Sarascal McLachltts" all the way through: the iPod stays silent for a few seconds with Backwards still on the screen, then Adia replaced Backwards for a few seconds (still silent), then it went to the next song (Time After Time by Sarah McLachlan & Cyndi Lauper) normally. I also noticed that I had thought that the battery ran out during the song, yet when I charged my iPod, it still had all my songs on shuffle, even though I usually have to shuffle them again. (Maybe I just turned off my iPod by accident and thought the battery ran out...)

I never thought about glitches in my iPod before...this calls for further experimentation! For starters, I tried skipping back to those songs, and they had reverted to a normal Backwards followed by a normal Adia. I then tried looking at the play counts for those songs in iTunes. Both were 7, an understandable number for it to be (since I listen to Enya most often), so the iPod must not have put glitchy data there in its confusion.

Here are the things I have left to try on an imposter song:

- Skip to the previous song
- Skip to the next song
- Attempt to look at what position in the shuffled order (I dunno what you'd call it... it says "X of Y") the song is
- Use the seek bar
- Change the song's rating
- Add to On-The-Go
- Browse Album
- Browse Artist
- Make the last song in the shuffled order pretend to be the second-to-last song, then listen to it all the way through

On an almost unrelated note, I don't think I'll be able to get OWY1U back up by November. So my current goal is March 25, since that's a year after I dreamed the apocalypse would be in September, and in the dream, I thought it was exactly a year until then.
