This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands :p

I am not sure if I am cut out to be an empiricist. I have been reading South, because my advisor wants me to. I understand the basic principles of what he is saying, but as soon as he starts presenting data and tries to exlain how the threory is put into practice, my eyes glaze over and I desperately crave naps. It should not take me a week to get through a 300 page book. I am also unsure how exatly I will apply his pattern recognition stuff to the data that I'm going to be working with. I am wondering if I should look into other people's use of patterns as well, to see if they might be more applicable to what I've got. The other thing I need ot do is get Daniel Finamore's thesis again. Once upon a time, I found a place onlie where I could order theses from the Ann Arbour microfilm place, but last time I looked, I couldn't get back to the right page :p It was only about 30$. I can look again, I suppose.

Really, I probably *do* have enough info to write my prospectus, I am just getting antsy about actually doing this project, not just doing the background research for it. :/

I called people about a movie tonight. If anyone calls me back, that will be cool. I think I will pack for Thursday some, and work up on NPC descriptions for gnomes. I can work on some antagonists too, whee! My lamb was tasty, but I am still hungry, and still kind of sleepy.

Meeeeeh......

ETA: I ordered the thesis. It was 38$, but whatever. I'll use it as a tax write off or something :p I now need to fiddle with my budget so I can ask my dad to send me some money. My money :p Meh.
