oh the weather outside...

well it might not be exactly the same as the song has in mind - but it is looking like it might get cold soon. and today felt a bit more bitter than normal - even if i was still able to get away with a lighter jacket. guess we can blame it on the rain.

so i am officially at T-minus 2 days for the big Law and Psych paper. guess that means i should start it tomorrow. luckily i am totally done my clinical paper (still needs some minor edits and a references page but that's mindless).

will be skipping work tomorrow. it pains me to say it. i just think about the class and i want to be there so badly. but i know i have to buckle down on this paper and if i only get 5-6 hours of sleep and then have work i will be losing steam before i make much progress and tomorrow has to be a majority of the work so i am not fighting time wednesday. for once let me not be writing the paper until the final moments.

the picture i am posting has to do with a snafu of sorts that occured today with the United States Postal Service and a piece of pink vinyl I have been looking forward to. Most of you know what happened already so I am not going to go on an on about it. Let me just say that if you think you can fit it in the PO box and it feels like in doing so - you are bending something that is putting up enough resistance that it probably is not supposed to bend - would you do it anyway? apparently someone who works for them would. hopefully the band gets back to me about it. agh

another first

believe it or not, today was the first time i went to a post office to send out a letter. I have been to the post office before with my parents, or to buy stamps, or that one time i needed a passport. But I never really sent things by mail when I lived at home, and until this year we had a Mail Center in the basement of McGinley that I only used once to send mail out (not counting netflix). It is just one of those things you never think about until you need it.

Anyway, the trip was nice and it led me to find out where the nearest post office is. It is actually 2 blocks down on my street - how convenient.

Today, after about a month of pretty consisntenly having work to do, reading to do, papers to do, studying to do, and most recently - video editing to do - I had no need to be doing anything. So I spent my day on the couch in front of the t.v. watching 9 straight episodes of Freaks and Geeks - a show of which I can only say that I can't believe I have not been made aware or been urged to see it before. It's great. And as Andrew Mai put it - it is a show that whose premise could be filling each episode with 'That guy?' moments. They happen at least twice an episode. Id mention some big shockers, but then Id spoil it for you - get the series - its one season, 18 eps.

Thats all.
