On the one hand, I can’t say it’s been a useful weekend, because I didn’t actually accomplish anything per se. On the other hand, if you associate “useful” with “utility,” and if you take utilitarianism’s premise that actions are good if they result in greater overall happiness, and you consider that this weekend made me happy enough for the whole population of the planet, the conclusion is that I had the usefulest weekend ever.
I spent almost all of it with Audrey, as it was her birthday-time-region. We partied to the Beastie Boys and many balloons, tried to make a cake without eggs (don’t), and saw the Lexington Philharmonic do “Bohemian Rhapsody.” I wish I had birthdays like that. (Granted, I’ve had some great birthdays, but they are always, always in the middle of some kind of stupid play.)
Friday was the last day of my internship. I’m not sure how I feel about that; I learned a lot at DD, but it’s been such a short four weeks that I didn’t get to see the completion of all the projects I got involved with. I’m still going to be working on at least one client site into the spring, but it’s going to have to wait until I’ve finally done the Cento site, I think.
And I’m going to get back on schedule with the comic, and I’m going to update this more frequently, and Chinese Democracy will come out. Right. (My personal take on Chinese Democracy: either way you look at it, there’s never gonna be any.)
