have discovered google chat

Wow. I can see progress towards degree becoming even slower.

Dear god.

Also, just "chatted" with a parental unit for the first time. All the way from India. TECHNOLOGY IS VERY STRANGE.

Meanwhile, what do you do the day you finish your ~200K epic?

...start talking about the next one?

Kali: This next one, I think should be a lot less fatalistic, and a lot more random chance. No more of this ooh destiny business.
Rach: oh yeah like a lucky streak at vegas and a splurge on hookers and blow and then running into your parents and finding out their creepy secrets but not caring, because hey, you have hookers and blow!
Kali: BEST SUMMARY EVER

Google chat -- yeah. It's a timesuck. But for people like me who work at home, the casual social contact is nice. I can't say I've ever had an 8-person chat on it before -- that's just a confluence of a lot of people online and interested in the same topic at the same time.

chat orgy! I haven't had that much speedy internet contact since... AIM in college. And IRC. Man. I almost flunked out of school with that stuff.
