i learned some things today.

i learned about firewalls and SOCs and what routers actually do and a bunch of computer and networking and safety stuff. it's really cool. no wonder joel loves it so much.

i also learned today that several of my coworkers play instruments! one plays the flute, one plays piano, and another plays the trombone. i play the clarinet, so we had a nice discussion today about music! it was really nice.

kristen came by, and i told her that we all played instruments! and she said, "that's so cool! maybe you could make an orchestra."

and i go, "more like a DORK-estra, amirite?" and i laughed so hard at myself i had to take a time-out in the corner.

didn't skip a beat, no space, no break, just instant "we're dorks here. we're literally tutors so we qualify as Dorks." so that's what went through my head. and the sentence came out of my mouth. and i laughed so hard i turned tomato red. it was so fucking funny.

and i must add that i have so much chaos right now among my brain cells that i like, cannot. i have so much con prep to do that i can't think straight. i'm going to print things tomorrow morning so i can cut them out and assemble them. gotta bring in my hole punch. and print a test copy and then slice and dice once printed and i think i'm gonna need to just. use regular paper. i'll just put the hole punch farther in. eh.

anyway, con prep started today. the truck is packed and is going down tomorrow.

also my professor posted our class time this week. it's tomorrow. at 5:30. i have a class - most of the class has a class - at 5:50. like holy shit, man. have you looked at your students' schedules??? you said the first week you were gonna send out a poll about class times that worked for everyone, and then just decided thursday, the day most of us already have a class that starts before 6pm, would be the best day to have a class at 5:30pm??????

god i hate this man.

anyway, i miss joel - he's hotel-side tonight to help with setup and stuff. meanwhile we both get beds to ourselves tonight. so i have the stuffies and the fan and the usual bed and he's got. a moderately uncomfy bed, i believe. i hope he gets some sleep.

poor joel. needs sleep.

so do i. i've been checking in on my sleep with my watch, and i've been a fucking disaster lmao. you're supposed to get between an hour and two hours of deep sleep. i'm getting half an hour, maybe. that's why im so fucking tired. also im awake a long time at night. i woke up like twenty times last night. christ almighty.

'Hey, can you call my cell?' '...I'm trying, but it says this number is blocked?' 'Ok, thanks, just checking.'

Call My Cell [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[Black Hat, with his finger raised, walks in from the right approaching Cueball.] Black Hat: Hey, can you call my cell?

[Cueball has taken his phone up and is pressing the screen. Black Hat holds out his left arm as he looks down at his back pocket which is ringing.] Black Hat: Oh, one sec. Ring

[Cueball, still holding his phone, looks at Black Hat. Black Hat has turned his back to Cueball and is looking at his phone which he is holding in both hands. Above his head is both his one line of speech but also a separate jagged speech bubble indicating what is written on his phone screen.] Black Hat: Ugh, it's this guy. Phone: Send to voicemail

[Cueball, holding his phone down, watches Black Hat walk away from him, already partly outside the right frame of the panel.]

Porsche 356 Borghi Abarth (1 of 1.  

This is the Porsche 356 Borghi Abarth, it’s a car with a fascinating backstory being the only one of its kind ever made – and it was only built because the 1953 Porsche 356 it’s based on burned to the ground in an accident. The car was built not in Italy but in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Italian coachbuilder Aldo Borghi had relocated to the South American country at a time when Argentina was booming economically and set up a coachbuilding and automotive race preparation shop.

Aldo Borghi was born in Italy, he trained as a young man in the art of automotive coachbuilding, specializing in the use of aluminum alloy to create strong, lightweight bodies. He later moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, or more specifically he moved to the town of Tigre which is just slightly north of Buenos Aires but which is often included as being part of the large South American city.

In Argentina Borghi set up his own garage specializing in coachbuilding and developing sports cars for the bustling local racing scene. A number of significant cars came out of his workshop including the Alfa Romeo 2900 “Ballena” and the Alfa Romeo Spyder 6C 2500 “Paquito”, and he restored the Alfa Romeo 3000CM Carroceria Boano after an accident.

In 1965 he was brought the burned out hulk of a 1953 Porsche 356. Exactly what had happened to the car is lost to history but Borghi was able to salvage the floorpan, engine, transmission, and a number of other parts.

He then built a new body for the car entirely from hand-shaped aluminum, influenced by the styling of the Rocco Motto Abarth racing cars. The owner was delighted with the transformation and the car was notably lighter thanks to the loss of its original steel body.

Building a new body for a car that’s been badly burned isn’t an easy task, fortunately Aldo Borghi was more than up to the task.

He created an entirely new outer bodyshell in aluminum alloy by hand shaping each of the panels needed, using the styling of the aforementioned Rocco Motto Abarth racing cars as his guide. The end result would be a car with fastback styling, a sleek front end, wider rear wheel arches, and an engine bay that was considerably more roomy than the Porsche original.

The lack rearward visibility is perhaps the only major gripe, but there’s not a lot of need to see what’s behind you when you’re winning anyway.

Thanks to the loss of its heavier original steel body, the new car – named the Porsche 356 Borghi Abarth – was considerably faster than its forebear. The Porsche Super 90 engine was later upgraded to produce approximately 110 bhp, with power sent to the rear wheels via the original Porsche 4-speed manual transmission.

The car rides on steel wheels, with Porsche drum brakes at each of the four corners, and of course it has the independent front and rear suspension of the original 356.

Inside the car you’ll find a tastefully executed interior with leather seats that have plaid cloth inserts. This same combination is used on the doors, and the roof lining and rear of the car are finished in quilted leather.

Up front there’s a wood-rimmed classic steering wheel beside the gear lever, with three gauges front and center in the dashboard showing your speed, revs, and fuel level with the tachometer naturally in the center for optimal visibility.

jadey, i'm curious, do you answer your requests in order or do you choose the ones you like most?

hi!! It’s honestly neither!! I have about 2500 asks in my inbox right now so I unfortunately can’t do them in order, and sometimes I love a request and still don’t do them first, I usually choose the ones that catch my attention or fit what I’m in the mood to write the most at the time !! Sometimes I scroll with my eyes closed and write the one I land on

#jade's asks #ily #I checked and it’s almost 2900 which feels scarier

i'm so smart.

don't give me a vegetable peeler unless it's my squishy moth whose name is vegetable peeler.

today was a long day. physical therapy this morning was ehhhhhh but i also woke up late so i didn't get to stop at starbucks before work either, but i brought cake so it was fine.

appointments all day.

sheesh.

(my shin itches.)

but my professor finally posted things. fucking finally. anyway. that shit sucks.

but my shoulder hurts. it's fine. bleh.

anyway, after work i went home to pack stuff but i forgot some things so i need to go back tomorrow and get them. and i ended up getting gas - with 1 mile to go. joel and i ended up having ramen for dinner like, an hour ago. so we're here hanging out together in bed. it's sleepy time, and today has been really long and all over the place and i just want sleep and my legs to stop itching.

sheeeeesh.
