Its finally that time, again. That time where it feels so good to know school is a few weeks from its end, yet my gut wrenches knowing that those same few weeks are pure torture. I have just finished my physics homework for the week, but that leaves me: A Physics test on Wednesday to study for, a report on flaws and fallacies for Statistics due Wednesday, and somehow I’m supposed to fit in my dentist appt. One day is not enough time for all of this. I’ll end up cutting physics short and paying for it on the exam.

Next, my laptop has decided not to charge my brand new battery anymore. Although the battery is in place and the laptop has been plugged in for - oh - 20 hours now since I last discharged the battery (as you do to calibrate it) the meter still reads “0%.” I may have to take on a soldering job to fix this. I’ve heard its not to hard to do, though.

Finally to end on a good note, I redesigned my site to appeal more to the blog style. I’m digging the look and will soon get some Google Ads up there. Since I was in a redesigning mood, I also started reworking Less-Sober.com. Nothing special yet; however, I plan to put some major time into it after the semester finishes.

Since I’m on the topic of my websites, fans of dreampop should check out my site devoted to the music of Big Sonic Heaven. I haven’t worked on it in months, but the database is growing strong and visitors contribute all the time. Googlers are sent to it constantly and that makes me proud: A site that I dont have to constantly approve to grow in traffic.

Thats all I got. Off to bed.

Okay. Had a fun filled past few days. Wednesday was class as usual until 7. Afterwards; Lauren, Shaun Lee and I headed up to Tailgater’s to see Shaun M. Played some megatouch, then headed over to Linda’s for some late night dinner. We ended up staying at Linda’s, talking until 4:30 in the morning.

Shaun was given tickets to Thursday’s Tiger game and invited Lauren and me. After a few hours of sleep, we headed off to Comerica Park. I had a lovely breakfast consisting of Ball Park Franks and beer. It was a great game, even with our two errors, we managed to win 7-3. Six of those runs were all in one inning. The seats were about 15 rows from the Tiger’s dugout; very cool. We hit a bar afterwards with the coolest old man as the owner. He was really fun and ended up giving us a round on the house.

Once Lauren and I got back to her house, we ended up sleeping until 11. We didn’t mean to and felt horrible for sleeping through half of the day, but we ended up staying up late watching Adult Swim and eating Taco Bell.

I just made my pledge to WDET and found out that besides my normal premium, I’m getting a half-pound of a custom blend made by Coffee Express.

Alright. Off to the last of my classes, then work.

In the (recent?) event that G-mail now has pop access, I see no need for my comcast account. Therefore, I am migrating to paralleljohnny@gmail.com. Im sure this will take a while, like a year until nothing is dependant on my comcast account, but I don’t plan on having comcast internet forever.

Also, I have some invites if I like you.

The other day I decided to play some 80’s music. Not having much on my laptop, I went to the computer where all my mp3s are stored and backed up. They weren’t there. Most of my CDs have been lost/stolen/damaged, so I’m SOL with my current collection. I spent years building that library, but there’s no way I’m spending years doing it again.

So my plea is this: leave me a comment with any 80’s songs you think I should have in my library.

I may set up an ftp account for this. Emails with ftp logins would be greatly appreciated, as well.

Not too much to report. I started reading Malory’s Le Morte D’ Arthur: King Arthur and the Legends of the Round Table the other day. I don’t remember much from my children’s books, so I decided to go out and buy an adaptation for an older audience. So far, nothing is matching up to Touchstone’s movie, .

I have work tonight (in like 5 minutes, actually), but I’m getting out super early to go to Eric’s partay.

One more thing for Mr. Moya: I downloaded Daft Club () and I must say if you dont own it yet, you should. Its a remix cd from other artists. Daft Punk is a wonderful group, but they tend to be extremely repetitive. Having another artist mix it up a bit was a great idea.
