my hero…

now this post looks like garbage.

ah, i knew i would have to get to this eventually…

the site has a new look. as i type that, i realize this is the third facelift the site has had in as many years. some might see this as finicky and restless, and they would be somewhat right. though, if you with google reader or netvibes will take two seconds to check out the actual site, you’ll see that i don’t merely change the look on a whim; i’m slowly honing in on a very good, easy to use, and tidy site.

i believe that this new layout is the best yet. think i’m wrong? take a look around the site. still think i’m wrong? you know what… fuck you.

many of you may have already seen this, but…

i’m inches from finishing a tome of a book, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and i couldn’t be happier with my purchase. yes, it was a hardcover and therefore more expensive; yes, it’s an 800 page book leaving me hardly any other time to read smaller undertakings; and yes it was easily the heaviest thing i’ve carried around in my bag for this amount of time. but it’s a very, very well written book. i may, however, be a bit partial to it seeing as the book is set in early 19th century london. top hats, cloaks, carriages, etc. i love that stuff.

my next undertaking will be a much more inclusive subject matter.

i’ve purchased (or am literally about to (and when i say literally, i mean that my finger has to simply push the “confirm purchase button” at tiger direct.com)) a laptop. it’s nothing special, but it should be able to do all of the things i currently do on my pc, but a bit faster since it’s got a hell of a mother board. my hope is to post my future thoughts and travels from that.

oh yeah: i’m going to be backpacking through europe all summer. more to come…
