    midterm exams season started for me, and my first test is in February . so this week, I'm home, studying, reading and watching anime (well, Avatar:TLAB).
    it's been so long that I forgot how much I like staying home. quite much.

    sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
    Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    Got to play a Rickenbacker bass yesterday for the first time. Those things are pretty rare to find in Guitar Center shops and the damn thing was $3,000+ so I played it as much as I could in the store.

    Those things are known for their trebley sound and ringing sustain. Perfect for rock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBlILzKoSnM

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    I impressed a girl from Kazakhstan with my knowledge about her country, which, of course, comes solely from Borat skits.

    I impressed a girl by knowing what causes earthquakes.

    It didn't make me really smile, since I was more perplexed than pleased. It challenged my assumption that it was general knowledge.(Crust, Mantle, Current, Tectonic Plates, Fault Lines, Ring of Fire etc.)

    She was an acedemically gifted Senior Highschool student, so she's not ingorant or anything. I guess it just goes back to the saying:

    "I know what I happen to know."

    Somebody doesn't know what causes them? Although in yesterday's newspaper there was a letter from somebody suspecting the Haiti earthquake had been manmade...

    So do I but sometimes I like to have fun with it. One time I started singing the lyrics to the muzak they were playing and I kept on for a bit after the operator took me off hold...I'm sure she heard, hahaha.

    Getting this for my birthday from my family really did it for me today:

    Attachment 289

    This game was easily one of my favourites. It was actually the main reason I picked up a PS2.

    Just wrote a new song with my old roommate. We spent an hour and a half just jamming out to the same repeating 8 bars of music. He's the only person I've met whose music I can write good bass licks to.

    Minor pentatonic scales do the job every damn time .

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Whoooo ton of snow in the Northeast, so my Uni's closed.

    Predicted to be 12 to 18 inches of snow. It's kinda sad, my cousin lives in Georgia and they close schools down when they get like 1 inch, but we need about a foot up here.

    I showed up at the local theatre a few minutes ago. I asked what time opera tickets went on sale, and the lady at the counter said "in about half an hour." I thanked her and turned around. As I walked away she cried out in a desperate tone, "you're coming back, right!?"

    Something about this makes me smile.

    It's snowing here in Augusta, GA, which is very rare.

    Looks like its going to end overnight, sadly.

    30901


    Snow ending
    Steady snow will taper off and end by the overnight hours. Cloudy with temperatures steady in the low 30s. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Additional snowfall of 1 to 2 inches through 1am.

    edit. Someone made a youtube vid.

    That's the danger of beautiful occasions like these. People will say "global warming my ass, it's snowing in Georgia!" The issue with global warming is that it causes adverse weather due to disruptions in the weather systems of the world. Snow in Georgia doesn't disprove global warming, it is evidence of it.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

    I calculated the amortization on my car loan, and thanks to a few hefty payments I've made when I had the money, I'm making out rather well. I've shaved about a year and a half on the term of my loan (and with it the interest!).
