Christmas and coding
Dec. 6th, 2005 10:05 pmI have had quite a nice and productive day. I got my parallel code working, woo! God, I spent so many hours on that over the past three days. I'm still behind in my class, but now I know what I'm doing with MPI.
After work, I went out for a drink with two friends. "One drink" turned into two, and then one friend saw root beer schnapps on the shelf and decided she wanted a flaming Dr. Pepper. The bartender made it with amaretto, not the root beer schnapps, so we asked why they had root beer schnapps at all -- it wasn't in any of the drinks on the shot menu. So he googled it for us, and brought us a stack of drink recipes with root beer schnapps! We tried a Kris Kringle, which was quite good, and an Attitude Adjustment, which was not as good. And then he didn't charge us for those two drinks! (We tipped generously, but still.)
Once at home, I put on a Santa hat1 and some Nat King Cole and decorated for Christmas. As my decorations consist of a small tree and a nativity set, I was done before the CD was, but it feels all cozy now. I have some work I need to do tonight, but now I'm going to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas. I will try not to bounce and dance like one of the Peanuts characters, but I'm not promising anything.

1For warmth as well as festivity, as it's damn cold out there! It was 5 F when I got up this morning. BEFORE THE WIND CHILL.
