The power went out again last night, and since I had some battery power left on my computer, I wrote an entry in Notepad:

So on Tuesday, after class, Friend R left the classroom as Friend B and I stayed to ask the instructor about something. A minute later, Friend R comes rushing back into the room, with the kind of excitement usually reserved for cute animals and cute boys, telling us to hurry and follow her. We jogged through the hallway after her, completely and utter perplexed. She stopped right around the corner and pointed to something, giggling hysterically. It was a water fountain, gurgling and spewing mud. Like any other person would do in this situation, the three of us whipped out our cell phones and started taking pictures. Lo and behold, the mud spewing fountain :D

Speaking of pictures and cell phones, I realized mine can support moving .gif images as wallpapers. I now have this picture as my background and I giggle every time I flip open my phone.

Say, hypothetically, you've roped some poor professor into being your undergrad thesis supervisor. Now, your thesis project doesn't start until September, but he asks you if you want to do some work as an RA (aka research assistant aka professor's lackey) during the summer. He's this nice, but completely scatterbrained and quite possibly computer-illiterate old man. He doesn't say anything about pay, but he does say, in his first email about RA-ing, "do you want to be hired for the summer?" So, hypothetically, how would you go about asking him whether you're hired as in hired or if you're simply working as a volunteer? ;;;
