Moa

Assignment: Choose an interactive system in which there is a high likelihood of problems occuring. Come up with a few tasks and let a test person perform them. Monitor their struggles. Write an evaluation.

Our choice of system? The school's web-based student admin system.

Which SUCKS. Our poor test person won't know what hit them.

I just can't let this go, can I?

( I saw Oasis the other day... )

( Kitty kitty kitty! With family. )

Couldn't HELP myself. :D

Back to studying...

ETA: Oh, and regarding the name, I might just have to put all suggestions in a bowl and have someone draw one. I can't chooooose.

Despite my best efforts, I have completely turned my day around and keep waking up at 2 pm no matter what I do or how many alarms I set. Yesterday, I just had to get up early, which I managed despite only having slept for three hours, so I thought - yay! If I stay awake until bedtime, I'll have restored my sleeping habits to normal!

HA HA HA.

I woke up at 3 am and now I can't go back to sleep. WHAT THE HELL?!

(See? Frustration - and lack of other things to do - even brought me to the LJ update window.)

Anyone familiar with WordPress, specifically theme design tweaks and even more specifically how to get the wp_get_bookmarks function to spit out an h3 tag instead of an h2 one? It's driving. me. crazy.

(Edit: Never mind, fixed! PH3AR my mad (read: non-existent) PHP skillz.)

(Edit again: Well, my oh-so-clever fix doesn't validate. Aaaarggghhh!)

In other news, I've got a tiny shard of glass in my foot, that not even the doctor could remove, so I'm kind of.. jumping around on one leg. And there's nothing anyone can do about it, apparently.

I have been internetless for over two weeks. But now I have it back. My sweet, precious internet. *holds it close*

HAPPU NOO YEER!

Hopefully yay, anyway. :D

I have neither the means (no TV) nor the inclination to follow Swedish Idol, but a comment made on a forum I visit made me go youtube-ing for videos of the final three contestants. I didn't like any one of them very much. What I am wondering is WHY THE HELL THIS GUY is not one of them?!

Singing You're the Voice, Imagine, The Scientist, Grace Kelly, Baby one more time, Roxanne, Livin' on the Edge, I don't feel like dancing, a bad quality Live and Let Die, and California dreamin.

SERIOUSLY, SWEDISH PEOPLE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. D: D: I especially like... okay, let me put it this way, Grace Kelly, The Scientist and Imagine were good, the others, I kind of almost loved. <3 Okay, so I especially liked his take on Baby one more time, he gave it a seriousness I didn't think it had.

<3 <3

The fan fiction thing? I kind of blew that, believe it or not. I had to use an article about real person fic written about a popular Swedish artist (another Idol contestant, heh) as a starting point, so I kind of went into bandslash (YEAH I KNOW WTF) and LotRiPS, and via a little side trip into Dan/Emma to Harry Potter and TV show fic. But I made the mistake of thinking I didn't have to really prepare this thing, as I know the subject inside and out, which meant I was kind of rambly and unfocused. >.< Teacher said that what I said was good, but it took me too long to actually say it, so I... passed. But that was it. Which kind of sucks, since I've got an A on everything else.

But that's irony for you! Scraping a pass the one time you actually know what you're talking about, and getting A's when you're just pulling things out of your ass.

Now that my iTunes library is connected to decent speakers, I'm going through an Audioslave/Chris Cornell phase (with a leeetle bit of Soundgarden thrown in for good measure). GOD HIS VOICE. It's like. EARGASM.

I promise I'll stop spamming LJ with nonsense entries... soon. ish.

I am being a good girl and doing HOMEWORK. But I've run across an unexpected problem. Reading about Athens and Sparta, my mind substitutes Sparta with ( SPARTAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! )

In antiquity SPARTAAAAAA!! was a Dorian Greek military state ... city-state devoted to military training, SPARTAAAAAA!! possessed the most formidable army in the Greek world ... centered at the city of SPARTAAAAAA!!, though the name "SPARTAAAAAAA!!" is now used for both. The Kings of SPARTAAAAAA!! were believed to be ...

Honestly.
