I just randomly remembered the IOActive parties from black hat, bsides, and Defcon and checked their Twitter and registration was open! I can’t believe I remembered on time, I can’t believe this is all around the corner. I can’t believe I remembered BSidesLV, it’s way more accessible and community based than Black Hat, and I think it’s free if I remember, or fairly nominal. They happen at the same time, so I’m trying to decide if I wanna check out BSides the first few days of August, and then swing over to Defcon that weekend. I’m not even sure if I’ll attend Defcon “proper” or if I’ll end up hitting all the parties at night and sleep through the days like I did on accident last time. Idk. I wasn’t planning.. on planning? Maybe I should take the first week of August off for once and just see what happens?
I still feel janky from the prescription inflicted nonsense. Prescription Inflicted should be the name of an industrial project. Like Fault Tolerance. This keeps happening. My brain keeps saying stuff like this.
I’m in such a bad mood from today. After knocking out the 12 credits I needed before the end of the month I crammed for an extra class and missed the assessment by 3 points. Tried again after burning through material and went down an additional 2 points and was all wtf. I emailed my mentor. Idk what to do other than walk away for a bit and give my brain a break. Or focus on something else, so Linux videos are playing in the background while I half ass pay attention and ramble on here (I’m remembering more than I thought and it’s surprising) . I’m still not sure about my major, or if I’m going to change it. Because I hate networking and the CCNA is in this path and I don’t know why tf they did that and I don’t wanna do it. I’m upset about Sanders. I’m looking at 3rd party options now. A friend said some uncalled for things about a political post I made and we can’t come back from that, and I don’t think he realizes that. He was absolutely unapologetic when I flat out said it hurt my feelings. It went from discussion to personal fast, which is immature and unbelievable. Lose all your respect for me while discussing ideas and hypothetical options. Way to convince me to align with your ideals. I didn’t think I’d lose a really good friend over an idea. I think this is probably the worst thing that happened today. I ate too much chocolate this evening. I’ve been even more excessively isolated lately than before and idk how to break this pattern. I keep packing on the school work after the work work. My mother keeps bringing you up. Okay, she’s only done it twice. Because I think she’s trying to understand because she’s confused. Which is understandable because I’m confused / was confused / flails.
I hope you found shrimp molcajete. I hope there is a unicorn pinata out there with mini chocolate patron bottles, and I hope the ants diaf.
The guy in the video lecture just said master and slave, and I know they’re talking legacy IDE HDD but now Depeche Mode’s Master And Servant is playing in my head.
I wish the OASIS in Ready Player One was real so so baad right now.
