not to seem shallow with all the deep posts lately, but ABOUT TIME!

Strange things keep happening. People keep growing. Life keeps evolving.

Although this blog may not be everything you hoped for [yet], it is as you are, and intrinsically tied to your evolution/changes/growth, when you feel complete, no doubt so will this project, and we will all be better for it.

I envy the hugs you feel safe in, only because my hugs have gone back to the virtual kind, the hugs wrapped in zeros and ones, the hugs with a cold flux of data behind them.

I for one look forward to your return, enjoy the interim, don't lose grasp of the happiness you're about to find.

need a back pack? want to deal with an über-reliable company who makes cool shit? i've got the answer for you, my friend. spire. i picked up an endo after i saw ken's. the other day [ ok, so maybe two or three months ago… ], one of the pins in the bag's strap came off. as a result, the strap still held the bag well, it just didn't stay on. not that big of a deal, but annoying over time.

so, finally, i decided to ask them if i can buy a new one. i didn't see any accessories listed on their site, and noted that the endo is currently out of stock [ perhaps they're making the endo 2002? ], so i didn't set my hopes high. much to my joy, i got an e-mail back from them in several minutes asking me for my address. they're just going to send me a new one. now that is good customer support. did i mention that spire rocks?

yummy qtvr work at the sydney opera house virtual tour. look closely - they even used an apple newton to help produce that… haven't seen those used since '95 or '96. i get to do this stuff for classes - oh sometimes i love school.

so i went to see in the bedroom last night with my friend kate. for those of you who aren't familiar with the plot, it's a bit heavy: the story of a couple dealing with the violent death of their son. the acting was convincing, and the plot enveloping, but i was really disturbed by the high level of violence in the film. granted, i'm a wuss, and it's sad that not being a wuss is commonplace these days, but i didn't really want to see someone get shot, and then have a nice close-up of the dead person. i felt similarly when i was checking out footage of the riots around the genoa g8 meeting. anyhoo - it's worth seeing if you're not in a fragile mood.

Yay for good news about eating clubs and concerts!! Yay also for funny t-shirts!!! I just saw Weezer last night (with Ozma and Saves the Day)! Pretty good times, except that I missed a lot of Ozma... but I was on the floor and it rocked, so YAY! Have fun!

While I was doing my stupid (but well worth it) SAT prep course, my awesome mother got me DMB tickets for 4-12-02 at the Providence Dunkin Donuts center. SCORE!

backward compatible style switcher now available from a list apart. it's definitely a good read. i suggest the following modifications which you may like to implement:
  1. You can include a default stylesheet for browsers with javascript disabled by using:
    <noscript><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/includes/style.css" /></noscript>
    For example, if you're browsing with any 5+ browser, your browser will do the CSS just fine. NS4 won't be able to use the CSS because its CSS engine relies on JavaScript to run.
  2. When creating input buttons, you may want to use:
    <form action="javascript:return true;">
    instead of:
    <form action="">
    because pages that use <base href="http://www.foo.com/" /> will have the form go to the href specified by <base /> (in this case, http://www.foo.com/).

new england patriots flag there were an estimated 1.2 million people out to see yesterday's parade (learn more from a cnnsi article. twenty five rows of people along each side of the street [ i was there early enough to get in the fifth row. ] sadly, as i had class [ damn college ], i had to leave after the parade, so there's no photos of the post-parade celebration. also, as i've taken my photoblog down for an overhaul [ you'll love it! ], i'll just put a link to a directory of photos from the parade. enjoy.

You should've heard the Ram fans though, "they were so lucky, if only...", YEAH, of only what? If only your quarterback had even MORE time to throw a pass at EVERY snap? What? You would've lost in overtime? Riiiight.

YAY for getting excited about schoolwork! YAY for quality dating shows like Fifth Wheel and Change of Heart: tell me what could be better than (1) making five people choose two couples amongst themselves, thus alienating one person and making s/he want to die OR (2) splitting up a couple and setting each partner up with a different date (and at the end of the show, the partners choose whether they want to stay together or not... so one could say "stay together" and the other could have "a change of heart," thus making someone want to diie...). I must say, three cheers for television. Tell me about things that are worth watching, if you know any... especially for late at night... Anyway, good luck all with your studies and continued and excitement, and check out Bill's page for a fun story about my super sexy RA. His name is Randy. He said that BC scored a goal again us "during the third quarter." Then there was overtime. That's right, no fourth quarter. Oh wait, that's right, too. No third quarter. No quarters in hockey. WEEEE!! I'm super critical of him for crazy reasons. He's a nice guy, though, so s'all good. Have a great night!!
