Last week was hectic for many wonderful reasons. The Brodt-Hubbard union was a beautiful event, though it could have done with a good half-hour long homily and some more kneeling. I guess those crazy Protestants just don't know what they are missing.

Nathan and Seamus graduated this weekend, and there was much rejoicing. After discovering that I can take Jager-blasters far better than Nathan could every hope to, and Seamus getting the number of the reasonably attractive waitress, super-taxi Neisy dropped me off at Brodt's. It didn't take long to see that the kids passed out on the sofa were not in a partying mood, so I caught a ride to another party hosted by the ever-wondrous Katie. Beer was consumed, Inspector Grisso was understandably complimented, and I met a few new people. Quite the Saturday. Sunday was spent feeling more hung-over than not, but ended with another Beer-Cheese-MacGyver night. This time Brodt and I discovered why it is that we don't invite girls to these things, as Sandra could not contain her chuckling at the very real and life-like predicaments that my mulleted hero gets himself into.

Topped off the weekend by meeting Lizzi and pals up at Friday's for some midnight shots to celebrate Lizzi being legally able to buy her own. Happy Lizzi-mas to all.

I discovered that I managed to pull an A in economics. Barring me being a sinning engineer in the hands of an angry God, that leaves a 4-point for the first time in my college career. Yes it's O-trip. Yes, I only took 6 hours. I don't care. I'm pretty excited. This gives me good leverage to get back in to OU in about a month.

Star Wars III tonight! I feel so wonderfully nerdy.

MS Internet Explorer angers me. According to the W3C, the "links" property of the document is of type HTMLCollection. This spec says that the collection can be referenced by either the index, the name, or the ID. Internet Explorer only allows the name reference to work if "links" is called as a method instead of a collection. Mozilla/Firefox demands the opposite: that "links" is only a collection, not the name of a method, which is in line with the specification. Thus, there can be no cross-browser compatible code that uses the "links" collection with name references. I have to go to getElementById instead. Why do we even have the spec if IE doesn't implement it? Reason number 682 I use Mozilla.

Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall.
