| Anyone interested in seeing Russell Peters @ Spreckles on 4/21 w/me and a bunch of other people? $40 for mezzanine tickets. There'll be about 20 of us going.

| Wow. For the life of me, I can't seem to focus on anything but
mindlessness. Seriously. Yesterday was a Tuesday and all I did after I
came back from school was play with Jo and his friends.
Here's
the one and only pic captured by my camera of Jo during his visit to SD
from Penn, taken at the bowling alley but you could never tell:
Today I haven't touched any of my assignments... And it's 9th week and finals week is inching closer...
I
find myself envying more and more the people in my Poli and Cogs
courses. These people complain and whine about really petty
assignments. Do you know what it's like to toil over a freaking program
for literally 40 hours of the week?!!? Every week?? ARRRR. Speaking of
CS, our current assignment in 141 is to simulate cache memory in C or
Java. I haven't even freaking started. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm
blissfully running away from productivity and choosing immediate
happiness in exchange for long-term sanity.
I need to stop whining.
So
yesterday we stopped by Sam Goody while we were strolling UTC
'cause I'd always wanted to visit ever since seeing their going out of
business sale (going out of sale business!) sign. I started grabbing
handfuls of CDs at a time, and eventually weeded it down to 3. Count
Basie, Nina Simone, and KEANE. Oh my gosh... Keane. Thank you Jo.
Yes. Nina Simone was inspired by the movies Before Sunrise and Before Sunset.
Made 10 years apart. With Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, a French
actress? Anyway, they were good. Both movies basically follow them
around first Vienna and then PARIS (thanks Bryan for the cordial clarification) and capture their very real
conversations about life in general. It was refreshing in a way,
because you don't find many movies that have so much dialogue, or focus
on dialogue alone. And of course romance is always a plus.
Boston in 3 weeks. And the excitement grows.
Occasionally
I get these really random, somewhat sadistic but mostly explorative
thoughts while I'm out and about. An example would be in the bus, and I
wonder what would happen if the driver chose to drive off of the
assigned route and instead take us all to some unknown land or
something. I start making up stories and imagining what the passengers
would be like. Yes, it's all great and wonderful.
Something smells like nasty over-smelling chips in here.
This
is one of my 72-hour straight theme songs. Seriously... I don't know
how to explain my compulsive music disorder. But what happens is if I
find the right song (by unknown standards), I start listening to it and
it alone for at least 72 hours. Okay maybe it's not playing for 72
hours but for 72 hours, the only music I will listen to when I'm
listening to music is that song. So this is one of them. "I'm Yours" by
Jason Mraz is another. "Yubiwa" was another one, but that was way back
in sophomore year of high school or something. More recently, "Ordinary
People" was another one of 'em. "Sailing" was another. "Lighted Up",
"Feels Like Home". I don't know what the recipe is for songs like this.
And I don't know why it's even worth noting.
And yeah. I'm definitely going to live in a city with character. |

| All "real" entries go somewhere only I know (to the tune of Keane... which is freaking awesome!! oh and so is Paloalto.)
But here's an amusing if not "how did they do that?!???" awesome site:

You tap a song (that's right, the rhythm) on your spacebar and it identifies the song. CUH-RAY-ZAY.
