right now i'm happy

right now - at the instant of typing this post - i'm happy. don't know how long this will last, but know right now i am. the reason is twofold:

a) went to radioshack yesterday and bought a cable to connect my powerbook to the wrpi radio station console. went today to the station to actually connect it and check it out. it works. so now i can take requests on the wrpi "melodies of india" show. think will try to host the show this sunday and do that. goodie!

b) made a presentation of my research results to a collaborating prof. now can start writing my first paper. my advisor thinks we can get it out in pretty good journal. so lets see. have been given about a week to write the first draft.
heh - just got a mail from my advisor sending me the paper format and saying "Take your time to write the paper (don't rush). Even if you take a couple of weeks that is Ok, but do a good job." hehe - even better. :)

so i went and treated myself to these new hershey's almond cookies (small pack of 4) - there are really good.
also should go to the karate class today, skipped the previous 4 classes because of the cough and all. hope i didn't miss a lot of new material.
