Today was the orientation day for new students. I was going to go over and meet the new kids, share my year of attained wisdom and give them dire forebodings for their future. I re-checked the schedule of events no fewer than three times in the past two days. I still showed up a half hour after I was supposed to, entirely missing the orientation. I felt pretty dumb.
Later I went out with Lukas and his mysterious and semi-fictional Bellvue friends to see Corpse Bride. It was a little short (86 minutes, I think?) and the songs were a little weak (not up to Nightmare Before Christmas quality, oh no), but the movie was very cool, regardless. It had all of Tim Burton's classic creepiness, though it felt somehow more optimistic to me than a lot of Burton's other films. You should totally see it, whoever you are.
Also, you must listen to the wisdom of Ralph Wiggum. Or, if you're feeling like more of a total fucking badass today, you can listen to Samuel L. Jackson, instead.
Finally, if anyone can tell me how to download images that show up on flickr.com, I'd appreciate it. I want to get some of Yuki's stuff onto my hard drive for my screen-saver crawl, but it's proving difficult.

Ok, Flickr. "You shouldn't do this." It's probably against some policy of theirs.
Go to the page that has the image you want and click on "View Source." In Mozilla, and probably firefox, it's View -> Page Source. It is also the hotkey Ctrl-U. Then whatever browser you're using, you'll have a page full of HTML. Do a "Search" or "Find in Page" for .jpg . There will be a couple of jpegs, the one we want should look like this:

copy that out to your address bar, hit enter or click "go" and you're all set.

Woo hoo!
Thanks, Milo! That worked great.
Yuki's a kickin' photographer, and does some fun montage stuff, too.
