I'm home...

It's Labour Day. So I'm home. That means next week's paycheque is going to be *very* slender indeed.

*sigh*

I'd forgotten that I don't get paid for the statutory holidays until I'm made a permanent employee. Of course, I'd be working if I had a choice, but since I don't I may as well just tighten my belt and wait for it to be over.

Also, I'm really sick and tired of living in this place. I swear, if I find one more infestation of weevils in my dinner, I'm going to do something dire. :P

I was going somewhere with this post, but have lost my train of thought.

Speaking of trains, started Bridge on the River Kwai yesterday, which was far better than Spartacus, but was too damn fried to watch it to the end. Came home instead. Will rent it and watch it another time. Blast. Now thoroughly regret watching Spartacus because it made me too tired to watch a better movie the next day.

Different post coming in a few minutes, since I don't want to mix my genres. ;)

I need some research help, folks!

I'm apparently none too hot at using the right keywords in Google, or something.

Here's what I'm trying to find: as much historical documentation about MIT as possible, preferably in the 19th century roundabout 1876. Maps, number of professors and students, programs offered, etc. Oh, and as many urban legends as you can find. :D

Yes, I know it's random, but humour me, please? ^_-

Links appreciated.

Where the heck did *that* come from?

I am, for some random reason, craving pudding.

This is weird even by my standards. :P

*runs over to stereo*

*puts on soundtrack to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly*

Oh, I am so very, very silly.

Zombies and sea monsters and Lurking Horrors, oh my!

*bounce*

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, don't worry. I haven't gone off my rocker. Just in a very Deadlands-ish mood tonight.

*bounces more*

It occurs to me that I own Once Upon a Time in the West. I should probably watch that soon. :D
