November!

It's November... It's officially NaNoWriMo. It's officially the month that will either kill me, or make me very very happy. At least I don't have any major papers due this month.

I ordered my ticket to the Decemberists today (Hamlet, being a Wednesday between photo crits, would've killed me)... it'll be my first concert here in ages. Soon I'm going to cave and get my ticket for Andrew Bird, too, because that's over Thanksgiving Break and that means there is no reason I shouldn't be going. I'm tired of not seeing concerts because I don't have any friends here with the same taste in music as me.

I should point out, though, that, even if I count votes for "The Refrigerator" as votes for the Decemberists, Hamlet won in the polls. Silly friendslist. I love you so.

Oh, and the new last.fm features are going to kill me. Like I need help finding concerts I want to go to. (In fact, if it hadn't been for the update today, I probably would've continued to ignore my Decemberists transportation conundrum.)

And now... off to write a few e-mails, then start writing for real. Let's see if I've still got it in me.

Edit [2:15]: Working towards my 22,000th song on last.fm... did you know that Ben Folds is like, 40? Holy crap. I guess that makes sense, though... I mean, I first heard him like, ten years ago, I think. And around that time, everyone I was hearing about was nearing their 30s. Wow.

A Tale of REVENGE

Once upon a time, an innocent girl was sitting at a computer in the Harper USITE lab. Being airheaded particularly absentminded that day, she happened to overlook her RA as she headed to the most secluded computer she could find. A few minutes later, she found her concentration shattered beyond repair as a paper airplane careened into the wall above her. She turned, stared her assailant in the eyes, and swore revenge.

( This is the tale of that revenge (with pictures that are fairly large, sorry) )
