cp /abstractions/pain/physical/upperback /people/jamescrooks

Okay, so my back is killing me. I have this terrible pain in my upper back/shoulders/neck region. Not sure if it's because I'm sick or if it's because my bed is two planks of wood with something that passes for padding on it or both. Probably both. I hope it goes away soon.

Lab is improving. I've gained access to the file management system, completed the new test model (and successfully got the proper oscillations to show up in the simulation data) and actually taught the grad student who's overseeing my work something about bash. Which makes me thing he must not be a computer scientist at all. I didn't think it was legal to graduate with a degree in CS without knowing wildcard characters.

In other news, I bought this premade pizza (not frozen, but all made up, just pop in the oven for a few minutes) from the store on the way home from work. Thought it would make for a nice afternoon snack. Then I got home and realized I don't have an oven.

So I cut it up, popped it in a pan with some oil and stuck it on the stove. Worked surprisingly well! I mean, it had a flavor that actually resembled palatable, or good even. Which given that it comes from the supermarket across the street and doesn't contain a significant amount of alcohol, is really saying something. So far restaurant food has been great; stuff from the grocery store however, much more questionable.

Anyway, it looks like there's this art and music festival coming up soon. Daniela sent me a link, should be interesting.
