I have to thank Dani for mentioning Fiona Apple's new album, extraordinary machine. So so good!

This is what the sky looks like at 7 o'clock in the morning on a Saturday (I had to be at work for 8 for Convocation):


These flowers were so pretty but I have no idea what they are:


Trees in autumn are pretty:


Sunset as seen from my office (not in Linguistics, the one with the window) this afternoon:


Not much else to say. I had a test this morning, a film review due tomorrow, a term paper and assignment next week, other tests and papers on the horizon, still tons of reading to do (though I'm still not behind, hooray!). I did a lot of coding today for work -- actually stayed an extra hour and a half because I got really into it. CSS is wonderful but it's a pain in the ass when I don't remember how to do it. It's been a while since I started a site from scratch; I should get back into practice. Sometimes I think I should have done something like that in school. I like designing sites. I like being picky about fonts and spacing and various elements like that. Everything I know is surface stuff though, and self-taught. Anyways, it's fun.

The un-fun thing about the site I'm working on is that they have a design in mind and it is cringe-worthy in some aspects, and I am quite reluctant to commit such sins. Sometimes you should shut up and let the customer be right, and sometimes you should keep the customer from looking like an ass. We'll see how this one goes.
