well, it's been a very productive two weeks of "Repetition And Paper Assignments" from school. there's just something about designing alternative tools for clean development mechanism sustainability assessments that gives me the sudden urge to try to work out all the bass lines to the Toadies' entire "Rubberneck" album. and then chide myself for A.) blowing off my assignments to play guitar (what am i, an undergrad??), and B.) perpetually being into bands that broke up years ago.

but then i found out that the Toadies actually reunited a while back. even if my essay's not quite done, it's one less thing to feel bad about.

oh, plus i went to a barbecue last Sunday that involved a 3 year old kid running around screaming CHINKO!!!!!! (the Japanese equivalent of "pee-pee!") at the top of his lungs every 5 minutes, and a 30 year old guy drunkenly deciding to smear Blair's Sudden Death Hot Sauce on his nipple to see if it would hurt (it didn't, or so he said).

yeah, the fact that i'm a candidate for 2 master's degrees is utterly ridiculous.
