Is it morning yet?

Friday, I went to see the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal at the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier with the lady azrhey, 'cause I'm just so freakin' sophisticated, ya see? We went to see Stanislas Skrowaczewski directing Mozart's Symphony No. 29 and Flute Concerto No. 1, as well as "Music at Night" by himself and "Concerto for Orchestra" by Witold Lutoslawski. While I found the whole event quite enjoyable, I have to admit that the more modern pieces didn't really tickle my fancy that much.

I also really liked how I was dressed, and felt sharp looking. And that's cool!

Went and saw Aeon Flux after that, on a whim. It was all right, visually nice, okay storyline, but nothing earth-shattering. Not earth-shattaringly bad either, so I guess it could have been worse. Charlize Theron in spandex.

Saturday was some poor attempt at getting my apparently defective Mac OS X installation DVD. Didn't work out too well. Took care of some tasks at home.

Went to emjayne's Stocking Stuffer Fest 2005, which was quite nice. Didn't really did much stuffing, but listened to some good music, talked with some good people, tried to sneak some high-fivin' out of blacksquiggles and so on... Scored myself some brownies and a mini-CD.

Make no mistake about it. I am not a morning person, but if properly coerced, waking me up is perfectly fine.

Although now, with my natural habits kicking in like that, tomorrow is not looking to be a morning type of deal!

Toulouse in the winter

Oh, and I got a ticket for Toulouse, from the 6th to the 20th of February. Better be fucking ready!

Ticking them off the list

Like I predicted, sleep schedule is fucked again, but I'm feeling well, as opposed to before my time off, where my sleep schedule was fucked and I felt exhausted all the time. So I'm confident I can fix it.

Worked on the same bug as I did last week, a unit test failure, but finally settled on a more hacky solution (to a hacky problem, in my defense). It's nice work, though, quite enjoyable.

After work, stopped by gregorama's place to give him the content of his 40 megs hard drive, as well as help him figure out his wireless access point a bit. Didn't have to touch Windows at all, so it's all good, hehe! dzunnmod was already on site, watching Mythbuster and having some beer, so I hung around for a bit, but not too long. I'm pretty happy about this, I can still be home in time to clear off some items off my to-do list.

Writing this at Angela's, waiting for my order. Have I mentioned loving this laptop? Although I'll have to disagree with sfllaw: wireless Internet is not the reality, and while it might be the future, applications will have to be able to handle disconnected mode (I'm using ijournal). Reading documentation on Mac OS X's development APIs today was rather frustrating, seeing how nice a lot of things are there (while sucking horribly everywhere else), and also how Apple skips out on the coolness themselves. My theory that my personal project, XPLC, would be more or less useless on Mac OS X, seems to be just about right. It's got a decent component system built-in, in the form of CoreFoundation plugins, and using NSBundles directly isn't too annoying either, with classes being first-class objects in Objective-C, unlike in C++. Ah, someday...
