I download (oh noes, RIAA) some Mr Oizo songs today off the DC hub. I'm glad to see at least someone had stuff by Mr Oizo, even if they probably don't listen to it at all. I'm glad I started listening to it again after all these (what, only 5?) years. I had bought Flat Beat / Monday Massacre / Sick Dog CD single when I was over in Germany back in '99/'00 on a whim. I really liked it then and I really like it now.
Let's see, I set up a paypal account a while back and now have some plans for the excess money that resides in there because it would take something like 4 months for it to be transferred out of paypal and back into my bank account. I'd much rather get the instant gratification of spending what's left than wait for it to be returned to my bank a gain a paltry 2 or 3 cents in interest each year. I think I may sign up for a SomethignAwful account, if only to pawn off my shitty photoshops in hopes of some sort of recognition. If I do, you'll find me on there as TurbidSqualor, or something else equally obfuscated. I also want to buy music/books of the slightly eclectic kind using my paypal account as method of payment. Does anyone know of some good/reputable sites out there that sell such products and accept paypal? I think ebay will be my last resort.
My activities today seemed to center around food. I met Reece for lunch at Rumours today around 1:00. I got there a little early, or maybe he was late, so I sat outside on some stairs and watched the line for ordering food get longer. He showed up so we went in to order stuff, like food. For some reason the heating apparatus were not in use/working so only cold deli sandwiches were available. This is quite unfortunate for me because I prefer nice hot and toasty sandwiches (unless it's a sub). After ordering and paying for the food, I've yet to get my outbound meals, we went to the upstairs area to eat. Naturally, we talked non-stop while up there eating /sarcasm. I remembered that he's a business/economics major, a feat of which I am proud, and told him what Major/classes I'm in. So very interesting a topic for college students.
After eating and chatting I went back to the dorm room to brood, and by brood I mean play Pokemon Blue, the lost and rediscovered and lost again and once again rediscovered only game for my gameboy color. I've again become addicted to it and have wasted a sum total of 8 or so hours on it in the past day or two. I also went to the internet and had some fun there, most of which I have no memory.
Then 5:30 rolled around and I went to Taco Cabana with the dorm folks. I'd say about 20 people showed up for food and fun. We made some lame jokes about how the car with which we drove over there had been attacked by bugs in a B rate movie. Her vehicle sure showed those dumb lovebugs who's boss. The food was decent at TC, but I think it tastes best around 4:00 AM. There was a rousing conversation about Things You Can Put In a Microwave That Explode which was quickly followed up with conversations in the area of EMP disc launchers and discharging capacitors by tossing them at unsuspecting bystanders.
I then returned to the tepid life of posting on the internet and listening to music in my dorm room. I seriously need to get out more, or at least exercise some so that my food social life does not lead to a weight "issue".
