This morning I woke up at 4:30 am because the song “Cisco
Kid” by War was playing. I was like, “What? Where is that music coming from?”
and then I realized it was coming from the living room. I went out there, and
Travalon’s laptop was playing the video on YouTube. Then he came out too and
said, “I don’t understand – I turned it off last night!” He had been listening
to funk and R&B videos, since he has been kind of into it lately, and he
knows I love it. But why did one just start playing in the middle of the night
like that? After that I couldn’t get back to sleep, so I just did a word game
puzzle until it was time for me to start my usual morning routine. At least
tomorrow we can sleep in… if Travalon’s laptop doesn’t play music for us again!
Today we ordered lunch from the robot!!! It was three ladies
from another department and me. The robot showed up outside our building, and
the woman who had the app on her phone had to figure out how to unlock him, but
when she did, he said, “Hello, here’s your delivery!” in a normal male human
voice. He didn’t sound like you would expect a robot to. They opened him up and
started handing out the food, and then the woman with the app had to send him
on his way, so he locked back up and said, “Thank you. Have a nice day.” I got
some good footage that I will post soon. The pasta I ordered was kind of
lukewarm, but the dirt pudding was delicious, and way more sugar than I am used
to. Between waking up so early and ingesting so much sugar, I have no powers of
concentration today.
A professor in our department was invited to a Disney party.
He was a consultant on Frozen 2, so
he got to go to the wrap-up party in LA, and he said the ice cubes in their
drinks lit up, and the bar was made of ice. Sounds awesome! Maybe more exciting
than ordering from a robot, but I showed him the video and he said it was
pretty cool. That’s the fun we have back here in Wisconsin.
