Dear Internet,
Please invent 512mbgigabyte solid state drives faster. I desire one for my computer. Also for my backup drive. It is much too noisy.
Thanks,

I’m going to try something crazy and listen to community radio instead of my own music library for a bit. The hard part will be training my brain to listen to talk without paying attention.
Some days I wish Pages and Microsoft Word would just stop sucking and get along for once.
Banner Ad Fail
No, Internet… playing a Windows error noise won’t get my attention to click your stupid banner. I have a Mac.

So the bus driver on the way home totally ejected a bunch of dudes from the bus today.
They were pretty loud. It was for the best.
Crazy!

Palin's 'going rogue,' McCain aide says
“She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone,” said this McCain adviser. “She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.”
“Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party.”(…)
This is scary.
Take THIS, accounting midterm!
I never want to write midterms again.
Saturday at 9AM is too early for anything, much less a three-hour romp with Accounting.

Word of the day: Clandestine
This word is awesome.
Definition: clandestine |klanˈdestən; -ˌtīn; -ˌtēn; ˈklandəs-| adjective kept secret or done secretively, esp. because illicit : she deserved better than these clandestine meetings.
Why do I like this word so much? Because it’s fun to say, that’s why.
If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch and you like words, you owe it yourself to download “Word Warp”. That is all.
I had a smoothie at Jugo Juice today like no other. It had matcha green tea in it with milk and stuff. It was delicious. Matcha is supposed to be super-good for you, right?
Muffins are best enjoyed when still warm.
Dear Tumblrians,
Please stop using “Hulu” to share media content. Us Canadians cannot view it and feel left out. Also sad.

I’m pretty much a font poser, but I really *do* like Helvetica. It’s super awesome and easy on the eyes. It makes things look important when you increase the font size and slap a “bold” sticker on it.
Some times I feel arrogant when I see someone and think, “Wow, you’re a real douche”. Other times I feel correct.

I have this dream of playing “Mario Kart” on my computer display.
Unfortunately, to make this dream a reality, I need a piece of kit that nobody makes anymore. This elusive augmentation is a component AV connector for Gamecube, which was discontinued in 2004 when Nintendo realized that people don’t give a shit about HD compatibility for their Nintendo system. I guess...
I saw “Religulous” tonight in theater with my pal Kevin.
It was actually even more insightful and clever than I had imagined, based on the previews. It brings up some very important points in examining organized religion and is downright hilarious in its smart application of comedy throughout.
Check out the preview.
