So the uh, big presentation that I stayed up all night for? Turns out it was moved to next Monday morning, not tonight as originally planned. A lot less stressed now.
So the video is funny and well-made, but then there is this comment:
The film shows the gray, dismal weather and depict the wintry streets in similar fashion. The architecture shown is nondescript dwellings and storefronts, whereas the very “churches on every corner” are actually better indications of the true material (and moreover spiritual) culture of the town. Many of these, replete with stone, brick, & onion domes, are quite beautiful to see and explore. They represent the myriad of ethnicities in the town.
Which leads to this point: the people in Parma are from many cultures: eastern European, Russian, Italian, German…many others. Entering a bar in Parma, one is beset with strong young men and breathtakingly beautiful women, descendants of those who made Cleveland…the steelworkers and the factory workers and the hardworking trades folk. Good, solid stock.
That’s the Spirit of the people of Parma, as I see it.

God damn architects.
Did I share this stuff ever? Work-in-progress, for a different class, unrelated to the crazy contraption with alternators and bike pedals.
work work (warcraft 2 anyone?)
If I were a professor, I would mentally “Sort” all my students into the 4 Hogwarts houses.
Then, when a student did something particularly well, I would exclaim “10 points for Gryffindor!”
Why in the hell did that airplane have so many god-damn tarps?
Well, turns out I know less about electronics than I should/this project is more complicated than I thought.
All I know is that this lightbulb isn’t turning on. There are dozens of things that could be making it not work, and I have no clue which it might be, and it of course could be several things…
Jonesy suggested I recast it as “a conceptual journey, where modern man struggles to rebuild his surroundings after realizing he has no idea how most modern inventions work.” He referenced this windmill kid, and, interestingly, the first thing I made for this class, I titled “Quixote.”
So I might pull off a project yet.
Favorite episode this season, hands down.
Rewatching last week’s Lost, but skipping all the “flash sideways” Sayid stuff. That shit was boring the first time.

Buy This: Lego Army Men on Patrol.
Special Toy Story Edition. Comes complete with four Army Men minifigs, a jeep (w/ bonus spare tire) and a stretcher. $10.99.
[gizmodo.]
I’m sorry but this is redundant. Green army men are already toys.
You have no idea how excited tons of LEGO fans were when they saw this set. The helmets are all new, a boon to anyone who builds military stuff. Oddly, green is not a common color in sets, so the jeep has hard-to-find pieces. So yeah, not redundant, actually cool.](http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz0z9mAoM61qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
