1. northwest-delta sucks. shitty planes. shitty scheduling. shitty service. yuck. i’m pampered, with virgin america flying out of SFO, and i also guess i’m not really bringing anything new to the conversation. just want to add my voices to the masses.
2. my laptop is having some issues (overheating, dying battery – nothing too exciting) and to repair them i will have to go 48 hours to 5 days without it. i cannot comprehend how this will actually play out. i’m actually kind of afraid.
3. related to point 2, it’d be nice if the apple store, upon taking my laptop, would let me borrow one while mine is in the shop. they could just wipe the whole thing when they got them back, and it’s not like they wouldn’t know who you are when you took one out.
4. fonts that i just realized are awesome: deja vu sans, panic sans, inconsolata. and yes, i was screwing around with terminal and some programming tonight.
5. up is really, really good. and the beginning made me really, really sad, so whoever that reviewer was that i saw in passing called it a cold movie can bite me. wherever you are. highly recommended, and 3-d is marginally recommended. make sure you make it there in time to see the short, partly cloudy, which is pretty good.
6. hey look, the lakers destroyed the magic in game 1, game 2 was really close, and game 3 was the one that the lakers let get away. lakers are a lock to win game 4, and probably greater than 50% to lose game 5 (i forgot about the stupid 2-3-2 in the finals – dear NBA, why do this?) i’ll be very, very surprised if the lakers are pushed at all in game 4.
7. i used to number lists 1a, 2b, 3c. but now i’m grown up. fuck.
8. i thought i liked twitter. but now i realize i have no interest in using it. i don’t like the short-form message, even if i say absolutely nothing in either long or short-form.
9. still not taking pictures. not sure why not. but i’m not. maybe this weekend. maybe. someone yell at me about this, please.
10. top 10 tracks of all time in my last.fm: 8 tv on the radio tracks from return to cookie mountain, deftones cover of jealous guy, and a tie between the only living boy in new york and tyler. my brain is trying to tell me something. top track of last 3 months? pick me up by dinosaur jr. how about that, rhodg?
11. still no idea where that fucking t-shirt came from.
A. For number 4, Were you reading this? http://hivelogic.com/articles/view/top-10-programming-fonts
2. Take more pictures, I’ll get threecoasts going soon.
d. Pick me up, I cannot stress this enough, had better have been your top track of the last three months. Have you listened to the new album yet? I think track 8 or 9 is trying to sound similar to Pick me up. It’ll take a few more listens to tell for sure.
A. somehow i got to similar conclusions without even reading that. very strange.
2. ok. ok.
d. just put new album on my iphone and hit play on it. we can discuss further after those few more listens.
Take more pictures.
