And Did I Dissapoint You, Leave A Bad Taste In Your Mouth?

First, might I direct your attention to the right of this post? There is a poll there. I'd appreciate your taking it. Thank you.

In other news, I installed two gigabytes of fresh RAM in my laptop. You have to understand, this is an event. The world shakes, the foundation of the universe splits open and a cloud of fire is the only warning as a new kind of hell is born. I have never before modified the hardware of my electronics. Screwing with things I don't understand is fundamentally against standard operating procedure. But Zach, the bastard, has opened the door to my learning about the inside parts of a computer... and now... as I stated, a new hell is born.

Computer stuff be expensive. I am a poor college student eeking by at $400 a month, which covers eating and gasoline. I have money for nothing else. I am going to go hungry in order to pay for Halo 3. Which is okay. But I cannot go hungry in order to buy Video Cards and such non-sense. Stop this madness!

Other than that, though, life is good. Today is the end of the school week, hallelujah. I am very happy about this fact, let me say. It's been an odd week for some reason, and I'm ready for the fresh start next week is in my mind. Also, I'm going to be hanging with my main man Zach tomorrow. And Sunday, the wedding of Aaron Cutshaw and Calli Burton. W00t.

You can get an RSS Feed of this blog to keep track of it. If you need help, check this out.

In closing, I need a freakin' bagle. Come bring me one.

Won't Back Down, Really Can't Turn Around

Spitalfield is a very awkwardly named band that none-the-less makes good music. Something like a Sugarcult/Jimmy Eat World mash up. Really interesting, some good mellow songs, quite a few poppy songs, and a few harder, alterna-punk songs. I enjoy them enough to buy one of their albums (though it wasn't the one I intended to buy!)

In other news, I have been introduced to the concept of the "T-shaped" person. Someone with one major branch of skill (the vertical line of the "T") and then from there can branch out to everywhere. Apparently they are in high demand, which makes me happy, because I am quite the T-shaped person. I always thought I was wasting my time dabbling in everything from psychology to geo-politics, but apparently, it's a good thing.

That's a relief.

Some things I'm thinking about:

• A Guide to Romance for the masses, just to help some of the people who don't even get the basics.
• A design for a new Mass-transit system for the USA
• A piece on the duality of being American
• My wonderful girl friend who said "I love you" to me in 65 different languages
• The delicious chocolate-mocha swirl bagel I just ate

It's a good day.
