it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? this is what happens when i get bored and no one is around to play scrabble with me.

samples:

( i remember when i used to be into nostalgia. )

breaking news: i understood what was going on in my calc 3 class for the first time all semester. this is a glorious day.

in other news: i painted my watch pink today.

live from our weather radar: it was so foggy this morning that a lot of classes were canceled. not mine, of course.

and in sports today: nothing.

my dad and i found FIVE geocaches today! lots of photos and stuffz under the cut.

( continue reading this entry! )

basically, i want to marry lars. stabby and i went to record archive at 4:45ish and i bought five bajillion cd’s (read: eight). lars arrived around 5:00ish, and we had lots of time to chat and such. we talked about atom and his package, because lars saw the pins i have on my bag. you see, aahp is like my second favorite band ever, so lars and i were able to go on and on about how amazing atom is. and he told me that he contributed a song to an aahp tribute album that’ll be released next month! so awesome.

he also signed my ipod. he added the “j/k!” when i mentioned i don’t steal music, instead i shop at record archive. lol. oh, and he signed some monopoly money i had in my wallet. that makes like forty items i own that are now signed by lars. lolz.

and he “played” a set, too! i put that in quotes, because i’m not 100% sure that’s what it was. you see, he forgot to bring his laptop (although he did bring his band). so we were treated to an a cappella version of mc lars. definitely a new experience for everyone involved…

in other words, it was a very good time! after the show we talked again and he mentioned that he really liked the websites i’ve designed, and told me to keep being awesome. oh man, i love your mc lars.

i have completely updated my portfolio. exciting stuff.

basically, i tried to put all the posts in there that have anything to do with websites i’ve designed or logos i’ve made.

i also had to deal with the downloadable template situation. if you weren’t around here in 2004-2006, i used to design website templates available for the public to download. i used a php program called the crappymatic that would customize my templates to fit the user. i had totally forgotten about in 2007 and somehow i managed to delete a crucial php file. so for a year or so my templates have been doing nothing, sitting useless in my portfolio without even previews. that’s all fixed now. you can look at the templates—some have live previews, others have full size screen shots—but you can’t download them.

so that’s pretty much it. let me know if you see anything wonky going on.

turns out my class t-shirt design from last year was popular campus-wide, so when my hall council had a meeting, my name came up whilst discussing hall t-shirts. so i have made a mock-up of a potential design. i was told i should keep the general vibe of the class t-shirt, which i attempted to do. and it has tested well so far : )

the back will say: we own many leather-bound textbooks and our suites smell of rich mahogany.

okay, so no one will go with me to the mc lars show on saturday (how can i be the only person i know that loves this man so much?). but he will also be visiting record archive the same afternoon, so i can see him then at least. plus i haven’t been in like two weeks, which is unacceptable. but i’ll need a ride back from the ’seo…

haha and mc lars is looking for a web designer! i emailed him, but i doubt i’ll get a response. still worth giving it a stab!

the entire town lost power last night at midnight, due to high winds.

so of course that meant i couldn’t sleep, everything was too exciting! the generator kicked in after a minute after the power went out, turning the hallway lights on and nothing else. so our suite (minus the strep kids) gathered in the common room so we could see.

we had already spent most of the night in the common room, complaining about the wind, creepily watching all the people that had gone outside to experience the storm, basically being too hyper for our own good. i actually ended up outside at one point, to do several things i won’t mention because they’ll make me seem more insane.

when the power went out, we heard some yelling outside, so we of course had to go investigate. we found a mob of students yelling and following a boy holding a tree branch above his head. so we joined the mob.

we ended up walking all over campus, following the tree (FOLLOW THE TREE!). we went up to main street first and crowded around the center fountain. the boy with the tree climbed the statue and they tried to attach the tree to the top, but the university police arrived and ordered them get off of the statue and made us all get on the sidewalk. we then followed the tree to the other side of campus, in order to wake up everyone in the dorms so they could join us. on the way over we ended up having our path blocked several times by police cruisers, but we walked right past. turns out there’s nothing they can really do about 1,000 students walking around campus at two in the morning in the pitch black (no street lights!).

basically, we woke up the entire campus. and yes, i got to sleep after 3:00am. and yes, i had to get up at 7:00am. ah, college.

I HAVE LESS THAN 1 GB OF FREE SPACE ON MY HARD DRIVE.

what do i do?

ETA: it might have something to do with the fact that i have 135 GB of itunes stuff, and a 185 GB hard drive.

i like this hard drive. oh, and this one too.

okay, so at the beginning of the summer i bought my first moleskine (the other post is here), as it seems everyone and their mother on the lj organizers comm have them. i adored it at first, but certain things got to me (basically, i hated feeling compelled to make it pretty), and when school came around, i switched to a planner that i wouldn’t need to decorate if i didn’t feel like it. i’m pretty happy with it so far.

my dad and i went geocaching today! i think i got him hooked : )

my dad and the first cache we found. this one was hid near the erie canal and the expressway. we spent awhile looking for it, and my dad was the one who found it!

me and the second cache we found. this one was in the brighton town park. i found this cache.

we also tried to find another one in henrietta but were unable to locate it. although my dad did stumble upon some illegal drugs… lol.
