sigh. why must i ride such an emotional rollercoaster?

there was something i forgot to write about this past weekend, and that is the goodbyes said to laura and john. laura, who garnered great favor this past semester, had a fairly emotional goodbye with me at mike's party, because she was drunk and i was still riding the wallow wagon pretty strongly. she said some really nice things, which made me feel astronomically good, especially given the circumstances. then came john, who had been up since thursday reminding me what the room was like before he left. he made a nice gesture to me early on and then rubbed my head or something before he left. the end.

today i got up and went to class (where my professor recognized me from last year) and read articles on the palm pilot. i read one from salon.com about lord of the rings vs. star wars. it was an entertaining read and i particularly enjoyed this one line: "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is just the first film of a trilogy, devoted to preserving the integrity of books that everyone has either read or is currently pretending to read."

and then i came home and played a game of football with darren and then ate pizza and went to business law, where more palm pilot playing ensued. then came bostonians rehearsal, which wasn't nearly as much of a dread as i had predicted. then i came home and IM wasn't working, so i decided to drink beers and clean our room. tim helped out and now we have a kinda clean room and it excites me.

magic 8-balls suck. i mean honestly, who uses them, gets a negative response and then doesn't immediately ask again or ask "are you full of shit" or soemthing. they should design some kind of prediction maker that forces you to ask a question only once. also, the magic 8-ball is stacked: too many positive responses. i think the old method of flipping a coin is much more practical.

and what brings this on? this program for my palm pilot i've been playing with all day. i actually went so far as to do it for about 20 minutes straight and catalog all the positive/negative/unsure responses. i haven't actually done the tallys and run the analysis yet... maybe tomorrow.

death cab's release this year is uhh, really good. had it on the nomad today, such good good good music. yay for ben gibbard. spoon too, and d-plan, and the microphones, and so many other bands.
