Thank you! I feel like simultaneously crying and throwing up. Sometimes things go better than planned.

Northwestern is offering me the mucho buckos, so unless MIT can hold a candle to their offer, I may have to give up my dork dream of going to MIT and marry NU for money.

Hope you're feeling better. I'd say Neko wasn't that good...but I'd be lying a lot. She did say she'd be coming back through at the Henry Fonda in May or June though.

I want a new laptop! Tell Maxx to sit on mine! Wait...I'd still need monies for a new one though, so scratch that, lol...

My work licenses some Oracle database stuff that is pretty much the same as Amazon's system, down to exactly the same interface for checkout. So, the four hours I spent learning about it was mind-numbing.

I have a friend who really is a man of leisure, semi-retired at 26, and he's busier than anyone I know. I spent the evening playing videogames with my roommates. I think I'm supposed to be realizing something here.

last.fm has made me realize that my primary listening experience has moved to the iPod. I guess moving my stereo into the living room for communal use has sort of made it tough to listen to the less tuneful stuff.

spreadsheets for fun?!?!? crazy talk, i say.

you didn't miss too much with Animal Collective. The venue seemed (and sounded) more like a hip-hop club than a concert venue. AC kept doing these 10 minute vocal jam. Cool in theory but semi boring in practice. When they actually played stuff off of Feels it was pretty good.

but in the end, it was just too loud for me and i left 3/4 of the way through their set. I could hear the bass for about 2 blocks outside the venue and could ID the song for about a block.

You don't seem always broken. But i know this combined pain. It sucks!!!

Get well soon!

If you have any garlic cloves around, you can put a sliver of one in your ear. There's a compound called allicin in it that has some antibacterial properties.

I don't download...dial-up, I know.

your not in Delaware!! I think It's the vicodin talkin'

I just went back and listened to that Talking Heads version of I Walk The Line. I'm guilty of occasionally downloading songs you post and not bothering my arse to thank you or review them. This one was...interesting! I don't know what I was expecting but it certainly wasn't that. I actually laughed at first. Good though.

Your journal entry for the day you posted that song: Glasgow or Montreal? I've never been to Montreal but I can guarantee you'll have a good time in Glasgow. If you decide to go, let me know and I'll give you a list of things you don't want to miss!

Hope your mouth is feeling better.

Good luck this morning. As long as they give you a halfway respectable prescription, you'll be able to go on vacation anywhere you want for the next few days ... in a narcotic cloud.

That's a damn fine picture.

If it makes you feel any better I just clicked the spoiler you posted and my frontal lobe is making a furious attempt to escape through my forehead.

I honestly don't know why I get sucked into threads like that. I think it's my way of reaching across the internet to slap stupid people. Honestly, some of the things that get said there... I would punch people if they said it to my face.

though it lacks rain in the title, Olu Dara's Harlem Country Girl is pretty much my ultimate rainy night, whisky drinking song.

I have been listening to a lot of Quasi lately.

B-AN-AN-AS

I heard Grizzly Man was intense. It didn't use any of the last recorded bits of audio, did it? Because that was some gruesome shit....

~Trilo~

Showoff!

you always just have to 1up me don'cha?!

my sister and I have texting conversations like that all the time. did you talk to Leonard Cohen or just gawk. I have no idea what I would have attempted to say, had I decided that speaking was the best course of action...
