Tweet!

I have to admit, Twitter is pretty addictive. I don't have to put any, you know, thought into it. Which does pretty much preclude any possobility that I might accidentally say something remotely profound, but honestly the chances of that are pretty slim anyway, so no real loss...

I might miss Depeche Mode!

I can't hardly even believe it over here, but there is a possibility that I might not get to attend when DM play Key Arena, 5 blocks from my apartment. I just didn't have the funds for the pre-sale, and money isn't exactly pouring in. I really might prefer not to go if all I can get are shitty seats; especially since Donna's last Depeche Mode concert experience was negative, and I'd want to rectify that, not reinforce it.

On the other hand, the best concert I've ever been to was the Songs of Faith and Devotion tour, and I had terrible seats and had lost one contact lens for that one, so who knows.

This is not an update

That subject line has to be sung in a Johnny Rotten impersonation.

I'm working again, thank Christ. There is nothing worse for me than having infinite free time. I used to say that if I had one wish, it would be to have infinite time, so I could experience all of the things that I want to, and not have to worry about missing one opportunity for another. As it turns out, I'm so bad at taking advantage of the opportunities I'm already presented with that the best thing for me - at least for now - is simply to focus on remaining actively involved in my own life.

Communique

I'm at the library (www.spl.org) because for the time being, I have no internet connection at home. Hopefully, that will change, but I don't know when.

Also, I've decided to migrate my old journal entries from diaryland to here, so I hope LJ doesn't shut down after I go through the trouble :P

Oh, and Ravie is in the process of saving me from homelessness, so I must at least somewhat publicly announce her awesomeness and my undying affection for her. Round of applause, please.

An innocuous post

I finally got my replacement headphone amp from PenguinAmp.com.
I've been wanting to get a portable amp for about ten years (seriously), so I was quite disappointed when the first one I got had a faulty ground circuit and I had to send it back. I had cued up The Knife, set up all the necessary cables and extensions to enjoy the increased signal strength in comfort, and NOTHING. Qu'elle dissapointing!

Anyway, I am now extremely pleased! One of the reasons I picked the headphones that I did was because they supposedly work well without an amplifier, as opposed to many high-end sets that pretty much require one, but as it turns out they work much better with one. Well, the Sony MDR-V6s do; I haven't tried my Grado SR-80s yet, but I've heard that they benefit even more from the additional power.

So...

So oddly enough, I can't seem to get drunk. I've never had liquor before in my life, and have only had a drink a couple of times; despite this fact, after having a "Pear Sidecar", an ameretto sour, a whisky and Coke, a few sips of Donna's bourbon and Diet Coke and whisky and Diet Coke, and three bottles of beer, I am still not drunk. I can certainly feel the affects, and I'm a bit dizzy, but I'm not slurring my words, I can still walk a straight line, and I'm very far from having any trouble with manual dexterity.

C'est la vie. :)

I can't see a thing through my ambitions

There's nothing stopping me because there's nothing left
