This Creature is Lore

that the existence of the Higgs-Boson* particle has been effectively confirmed.  You done good, Large Hadron Collider.

Oh, and, because my nation's founding is my favorite part of its history, have a song.  I highly recommend the musical comedy 1776.  Lamentably, I couldn't find a version with the video as well as the audio.
"But, Mr. Adams..."


*Yes, in my enthusiasm I misspelled boson as bosom.  This is going to haunt me to my grave.

Happy New Year, internet!

None of my friends were doing anything of note, so since fate had decreed a quiet and reflective evening, I rewatched American Beauty, a film I've not seen in over 11 years, and found it better than ever. I also attempted some writing and began a project I'd been putting off. And started to take the rough storyboards for my comic and attempt finished products.

This morning all last semester's grades are finally posted online. For a certain class, it was actually a pleasant surprise that I received a B. That's never been the case. The one other time I received a B I was rather upset. Guess it's all a matter of perspective.

Meanwhile, to compensate, the online score distribution graph says I was the only one in my History class to get a perfect score on the final essay. That's what I like to see on the first day of the new year. *picture my icon preening*

I can't seem to get the Hobbit trailer to play. %^@$&@%$@ Quicktime. Hopefully it's up on Youtube, but I'm supposed to be going to choir practice, not watching the Hobbit trailer, anyway.

I am dubiously pleased to report that being sick the past couple days and being forced to rest up has resulted in my -finally- reworking Ch 10 of Epic Fic is Epic. The old Ch 10 sucked and was stalling me on any progress for about four months. The new chapter 10 is a huge freaking dramafest. (All is right with the world.)

It's kind of important that these things be reworked, because other, more manageable stuff I write is currently at the same chronological point. The Draugluin story and Epic Fic is Epic have entered into a fun feedback loop, some of the same events from different viewpoints, & c.
