Another sunny day!

I am so happy! Today I have done lots of cosc work... well, from 9-12 and 1-3 (I had pancakes at Mindy's house for lunch) - and then went to a seminar, and since I came back have done almost an hour of cosc, so that's been exciting cos I feel productive - but the reason why I'm happy? because I went to the library and while there on impulse got out Les Pecheurs de Perles. (The Pearl Fishers). This is an opera by Bizet, and I knew only one aria, so I have spent the last just over an hour listening to it, and reading the accompanying booklet in French - not because it didn't have English, but because it was more fun reading it in French. And I really like it! It's a nice story too, because for once it's an opera in which not everyone dies! So it's very pleasant to be sitting here writing a lexer using ANTLR for haskell internal representation code and listening to it.
Other news: I have discovered this hilarious cartoon. The funniest thing I've ever watched. Called Red v Blue, it follows the story of two teams of... Halo characters... in a box canyon. and why are they there? (they ponder this in episode one) - the red base is there because the blue base is there, and the blue base is there cos the red base is there. And if the red base pulled out, then there would be two blue bases in the box canyon. Whoopdy-doo. It's great watching them encounter such problems as driving vehicles, firing on team-mates, working out who their team-mates are etc. too. Although I have to admit I have only played Halo once so I kind of look at it as if it is Unreal Tournament instead. Anyway, it's just so funny I actually sit here and laugh out loud as I watch it.

I have also been skiing a bit recently. Go to Mt Olympus. The snow is great at the moment, and we all know the atmosphere and surroundings are always wonderful.
