the eXternal mind

On a Thursday afternoon my roommate, Alex, and I were lounging around talking about computer science courses… (this conversation is not exact word for word. It’s written in the way my mind thinks about it which means that my tone will be present throughout the conversation)

Him: God, that CS 2 sucks. The lectures are horrible. You know they suck when they only last 15 minutes with half of that time spend by the lecturer rebooting his computer. CS 1 was a lot better.
Me: Yeah, Dr. Vanier is awesome.
Him: CS 3 seems a lot better. It has more theoretical content… Plus it’s taught by an Indian guy!
Me: *nods* Ah, yes, that’s true. It’s generally a rule of thumb that if an Indian guy (we actually mean people of Middle Eastern ethnicity) teaches a class, it’s pretty difficult and highly rigorous. *My mind flashes back to all of my Middle Eastern Math TAs that I cannot comprehend because of their great math skills*
Him: Those Indian guys…. They don’t come here to fuck around!
Me: Hm-hmm! *Me making that agreeing noise*

(21:37:19) Steve Mann: i can get files from my roomate at 10mb/sex
(21:37:23) Steve Mann: crap
(21:37:30) mikeXstudios: excellent

So for each sex that Steve has with his roommate he gets 10MB of files.

Euge sent me an email today:

An interesting conversation today (roughly)…

After seeing a kid from my floor with a PGSS tshirt…
Me: You went to PGSS?
Him: Yeah
Me: Do you know a kid named Michael Huynh (trying several pronunciations)
Him: He was my roommate.
Me: Whoa.
etc…

So your PGSS roommate (adam aaron) is on my floor.

That’s pretty cool! Adam was a great roommate. Helped me out a lot.
