Fall is warmer than summer

What the hell... it's been 17 and above for the last week... why is fall warmer than the last few weeks of summer??!! Stupid Edmonton weather :P

Just finished my analysis of that code, deciphered all the output except for two numbers, which don't seem to have a set pattern. Oh well, it's the other numbers that are important anyways. Now just have to test it with the phantom; as well, we figured out a way to use the previous fit matrix to set the initial condition for the next registration, which should speed things up a little (like 0.5 seconds, but hey, multiply by 1000 and you've got a sizeable chunk of time saved).

In the home stretch with scholarship applications, just have to track down my references. >:S Dr. Brett has mailed them off (to me I hope), but Dr. Fallone doesn't seem to be answering my e-mails. That's slightly worrying, as I have to send the packages off by Wednesday. If worst comes to worst, I may have to give up the AHFMR app and just send Dr. Brett and Dr. Thompson's letters for the GRA, and hunt down Dr. Fallone for the 75th Anniversary app.

Well, two days (less actually) before Mom comes to visit! Just cleaned the downstairs, now have to clean the upstairs. It's not that bad actually, we've kept it pretty clean in the past week or so. Just have to go over the floor with a vacuum and wash dishes (an ongoing battle, tally-ho!).

Found something out last week: Marble Slab Ice Cream is the best! They mix a fruit/candy/chocolate with your ice cream of choice, with metal spatulas of all things. Makes for a good cone though, and it's open until 11 which means people can satisfy their after-dinner cravings. Some people say it heightens the commercialism on Whyte Ave, but they just haven't had a cone yet. Even anti-establishment-arians eat ice cream!

Well, changed my mind after trying out that yuuan yaki recipe; a bit too sweet for me. Will probably do teriyaki, which is easier anyways. Made green tea ice cream too, but it's not freezing well; probably because there's too much stuff in the freezers. If it doesn't work, we'll probably just walk down to Marble Slab or something. :P

For all that I've been writing about gourmet cooking, I had an apple and cheese and crackers for dinner tonight. Have to do better when Mom gets here (not that there's anything wrong with apple, cheese and crackers).

cheers, eating-for-survival-out-of-pure-laziness Ange
