Today's experiments ran... not well. The control runs came out pretty good, but as soon as I tried using the AT-D plasma everything fell apart and the results don't make sense. I've re-adjusted some of the calculations, so hopefully tomorrow's runs go much more smoothly.
As I got home I noticed a lone tulip on our front lawn. I'm not sure where its bretheren are, but it was a nice tulip.
While I was uploading that photo I also found one I took of Mac earlier in the month. The daffodils were in full bloom and the sun was shining, and the campus actually looked very pretty for once. Because you know, if there isn't a honking lake in the middle of campus, it's usually grey, wet, cold, and miserable.
I ended up at Williams for dinner because I had no groceries left and HSM meeting began soon, so I parked myself across campus and ordered their chicken quesadilla. It turned out to be very soggy and disappointing, but while I was there I resolved to use one of my Hobbit Moleskine notebooks as the HSM notebook -- after a few weeks of deliberation I decided to use it after all. I had my calligraphy pen on me -- the only remaining working pen -- and set to working on a title page. It took me a lot of tries and a lot of practice, but eventually I gave up on having it look absolutely perfect and I didn't want to rip any more pages out of the book.
