work

This week and next week I'm commuting down to Holland, MI, ever day to do some contract work for The Image Group. It's Intershop work, so it's not exactly fun or clean, but hey, it's work, it's money, and it's sort of Perl.

it's snowing

As I walked to lunch today, it was snowing. Now it's snowing harder. The ground's not that cold so I doubt any will stick, but still... Snow... And I'm wearing sandals.

back home

I'm now back in Michigan, writing this from one of my trusty SGI Indys. These boxes are definitely not fast, but they're functional. And the internal speaker on an Indy is amazingly good.

4:10am -- T minus 4 hours and 20 minutes

Things are starting to take shape. I've got three good pages in which I've outlined the theories of Hobbes, Locke, and Rawls. I've still got to do Gauthier, which brings me up to four pages at the conclusion of the first part of the prompt. The second basically takes the first and interprets it, which will go much faster.

1:53am -- T minus 6 hours and 37 minutes

Paper's still not going all that well. I've got a little more of an idea of what I want now, but things still aren't as directed as I'd like. I'm still hopeful I'll get done before the plane leaves, but I'm not holding out too much hope for getting any sleep beforehand.
