Spring 2010 Class Schedule

Things change quickly. When I last posted about grad school plans, I hoped to take CSC 139, Operating System Principles (3 units) at CSUS, MW 5:30-6:45 p.m., and CISP 453, Introduction to Systems Programming (4 units), at ARC, MW 10:30-11:50 a.m., and Lab from 12:00-1:20 p.m..

Then CSUS canceled the MW 5:30-6:45 p.m. section of CSC 139, leaving section 1, TR 3:00-4:15 p.m.

CSUS also canceled the MWF 4:00-5:10 p.m. section of STAT 50 (4 units). x_x

Also, an alternate class, CSC 132 - Computing Theory (3 units) TR 4:00-5:15 p.m., has been changed to TR 1:30-2:45 p.m.

So, it appears my new schedule will be CSC 132 and CSC 139:

1. CSC 60 - Intro System Program Unix (3 Units)
   
   
• Spring 2010 TR 1:30-2:45 p.m. (Chung Wang)
  
  
2. CSC 132 - Computing Theory (3 Units)
   
   
• Spring 2010 TR 1:30-2:45 p.m. (Meiliu Lu)
  
  
3. CSC 139 - Operating System Principles (3 Units)
   
   
• Spring 2010 TR 3:00-4:15 p.m. (Du Zhang)
  
  
4. CISP 453 - Introduction to Systems Programming (4 Units)
   
   
• Spring 2010 MW 10:30-11:50 a.m. + Lab 12:00-1:20 p.m.. (Tak Auyeung)

Burberry

Dawn and I visited a Burberry store this evening. We both liked the Navy Harwood Officer's Overcoat:



Originally $1,100, on sale for $750. :P Do I go to college this semester or buy the coat!? x_x

Also, the Burberry Bonded Cotton Field Jacket in Navy:



$895. x_x

Also, Dawn liked this Burberry wool military coat (royal purple):


Originally $1,495, on sale for $1,099. :P

Radio Songs

In the Bay Area again today:

105.3 KITS: Los Angeles-based Silversun Pickups' Panic Switch from their 2009 album Swoon on the Dangerbird Records label. Video. Also.

102.1 KDFC: Austrian Josef Strauss's Die Libelle ('The Dragonfly') polka-mazurka op. 204 (1866), performed by the Vienna Philharmonic, Georges Prêtre conducting, on their 2008 album "New Year's Concert 2008" on the Decca label. Video. Driving through Sausalito, listening to this as lights illuminate the hills like fireflies. :D

101.1 KHYL (V101.1): Santa Monica, CA-native Teena Marie's "Square Biz" from her 1981 album It Must Be Magic on the Gordy label. Audio. Love the horns! :D Fantastic.

Radio Songs

I heard Rio De Janeiro-native Marisa Monte on the radio (KRSH 95.9 out of Santa Rosa, CA) for the first time ever this evening: "Lenda das Sereias, Rainha Do Mar", from her 2x-platinum 1989 debut album MM on the Phonomotor Records/EMI labels. Audio. Only 20-years late. And the announcer pronounced her name "Marisa Mon-tay". x_x But: there it is! :D

Also (speaking of 20 years too late): Los Angeles-based Oingo Boingo's Dead Man's Party, from their 1988 double album Boingo Alive, on the MCA Records label. The horns on the intro are spectacular. Video. :D

School has interrupted many projects, including my wedding ring quest. Tonight I came to the conclusion I would prefer rose gold as part of the ring in some form:
