Because James Taylor is good.

Yes, I said it. I like James Taylor. Suck it.

The good news is, that I now have a place to listen to all the live Jimmy-boy I want (within the bounds of availability) FO FREE!

Wolfgang’s Vault is the place. Basically it’s the vintage “new rock isn’t rock” homeboy’s heaven. The main site has vintage posters, t-shirts and whatnot for sale. Honestly though, that’s not really my thing so I’ve never clicked any button on the front page other than the green Concert Vault one. In there you will all the live (pardon the classification) “Classic Rock” concerts you can think of. New this week is some Rod Stewart, Fleetwood Mac, Weather Report, John Hammond, Hall & Oates, Hot Tuna, Big Country, Blondie….well, you get the point.

It has admittedly been a while so I'm not sure but you may have to register (for free), but it’s no big deal. I know they send me an email just updating me on the new concerts about every other week, but I’m sure there is a way to get off the list. Also, granted, these are vintage live recordings, so some may not be up to par on your rockin’ Bose system. Deal.

Its free.

Zours, Black Sheep and a balanced diet...

You couldn't ask for much more on a Tuesday night. And best of all, my two hour study hall (or as one of my professor's calls it: detention) got cancelled because of some freak explosion followed by some freak power-outage in the engineering building.

I have a feeling that statement would be much more surprising if that happened in, say, the Humanities building....

So yep. Pretty easy-going night. I'm even getting my daily intake of both fruits and vegetables! These V-Fusions fall in the same catagory as my Fuze Green Tea's I mentioned a while back. Healthy, and for sale right below me. You probably won't find me trying the spicy hot variety also for sale though...

While I'm at it. Holy crap, Zours are freaking good.

And how did Chris Farley ever get famous? I mean, I'm sure he deserved it, but... wow.

...And why can't I stop laughing at him?

Dinner bell is ringing!

Behold, my complete ineptness at the art of the microwave meal:

If that doesn't get your stomach a rumblin...

Back to paper (if you can even call it that...)

Ah yes. It begins.

The first major wave of procrastination taking hold as I type. Chemistry test arriving at 4:30 (QUICK: what is a good acronym for soluble/insoluble ionic compounds, oh wonderful acronym people?!), then a dinner meeting from 6-8, THEN I have the honor of typing a 4 page paper due tomorrow at 9AM.


Should be real fun.

In the mean time.... I present to you what is really occupying my mind:



Not NEARLY as good as my previous (see: last year) venture, but a good time-waster.

Nostradamus Pt.2 [slash] a lesson

Never, EVER, go into Boston up in the ALCS with only one (yes, ONE) game needed to clinch.
It ain't happenin.


Stone.

EDIT:EDIT:....

i hate usc.

Just call me Nostradamus

Rutgers beats USF!
Called it.

Boston Forces Game 5!
Called it.

I should open up a business or something.

So wait... seriously?

I'm confused.

I think someone has watched a little too much Robin Williams lately.

I mean... I guess it works? Hmm.... interesting...

I swear there's a good reason...

And it comes in the form of a new 50 inch DLP 1080P (translation: sweet) TV. Yea, it's nice. And yes, it is the reason for the lies concerning the plethora of posts over fall break.



For those curious, what I learned while home:

1.) Dorms really do smell. Maybe it's just because mine is directly across from the "utility closet" (translation: trash room), but for some reason I doubt it.

2.) The whole "mom's cooking" thing is kinda overplayed. Now the "going out to eat on mom and dad's check" thing, THAT's something worth missing.

3.) I do not miss high school.

4.) A little break from the *ehm* college life is nice... buuuuuut

5.) I would much rather be in Stu-town than the ville.

HA

Priceless.
/loser.

Mid-terms over

Sorry for the slow week. Mid-terms are now over; the birds aren't chirping, the trees are dying, and there is just a general cooling of atmosphere. Yep, that means its time for fall break: the first time you miss college (so I've heard).

Good news is, I haven't been given time to miss college! YAY! The professors are soooo nice, they are making sure I take home alllllll my books! What a nice group. Expect a plethora of random spewage in the coming week-ish.

PotW numero dos

This week brings a(n) (ironic) little tribute to moms everywhere. Yes, even those ghetto-rock-smoking one's that still care about their ghetto-souljas.

I feel like this is a poster I would see in one of those hard-ass frat boy rooms, right above the sock drawer that hides the little worn family picture, which is under the stack of Playboys.

Without further adeu:


All my "desktops" will be 1280x768. If you are as big of a loser as me, which I figure you aren't, go ahead and click on the picture to get the full-size one. And I really don't plan on having every Photoshop being this unexciting. I was just doing this one night anyways and liked how it was turning out.

Are you "in"?

From news gained from the weekend visit back to the nasty nasty, in less than one week, I will be "in." Hopefully I never leave country, because apparently they don't accept the concept of "in" very happily. The good news is that I get a new phone charger (mine convienently just broke through completely).

In other news, this weekend was very, very, VERY happy (see: here, and here, oh yea and here) It may have taken a guy paying his way to suck enough for a W, but at this point. I'm not picky.

Whew, that was a new record for linkage I believe.

And as a cool side note, I have another BAMF  'pac  desktop cookin. It may qualify for photoshop of the week. 

Photoshop of the Week

With a little help from InterfaceLIFT:



New York Spidey. Just something easy to get my juices flowin.

Opera is snazzy.

That's it. I've had it. No more constant freezing from Internet Explorer. Not on MY watch.

I've never had a problem on any desktops, but IE 7 on laptops (see: mine) is horrendous. NO I do not want to send an error report! I want to surf the internet.

And in an effort to not be a conforming anti-Microsoft protester, I searched the options to go to something a little more snazzy than Firefox. Admittedly, I had a picture in my mind of what I wanted.

Opera roxors my nerdburger  soxors. (As a side note, Nintendo agrees). 

For one, it has a password storing feature, THAT ACTUALLY WORKS (take note, Bill, or, whoever). I would liken it more to the Google Autofill feature more than IE's sick excuse. All I do is double-tap (yes, because I'm cooler than you) my wand and BLAMO! I'm logged in. No need to autofill then tap somewhere else. It all goes for you.

And if you're like me, you really only go to about ten websites (if that) regularly anyways. Opera understands my needs (it's not you IE, it's me. Well acutally, yea, it is you.). Speed Dial is the best idea since bookmarks.

Tabbed browsing? Check. Cool-Firefox-type-addons? Check. Feeling of superiority to those around you? Double-check.

Oh, and it loads pages faster (youTube marathon away), so stick that up your pipe...
