So, on the way to class today, I saw this ad on the side of a bus. (Well, not this add, but something close to it. Those things on the sides are supposed to be game controllers.)



Okay, what does the line mean? My first thought was, 'Mac bits...they're white.' But, I'm guessing that PS2 isn't advertising for Apple.

Second thought was, 'Sexual innuendo?' But, I've never heard anything like it before...and since it took me so long to get to that possibility, it makes it a bad ad. At least for a US-brought-up consumer.

So, is this a easily understandable phrase that I've just missed? Ayuda me, por favor?

I have the word 'tocopherol' stuck in my head. Not a clue what that is.* Any scientist types know? [info]pling, [info]kiinkawaii, anyone? :)

In other news, I'd love to have a couple of Erlenmeyer flasks. I think they are quite useful, at least that's what I remember.

So, I go to work. I'm rested. I had a good weekend.

However, none of that combats my general klutziness. So, BAM! went my shin into the palletizing table.

And that, as they say, was that.

By the way, way are those steps to victory or what-have-you? The first is acceptance? Or the first is awareness? Ach, that's why I'm asking you people. :)

I've never really thought about it, but what in the world does 'emo' mean?

I keep seeing emo-scene and 'I'm an emo-boy' and such. What are they on about?

I heard a song on the radio...well, precisely I don't remember when. :)

Anycase, the bits of the lyrics that I can remember...or half mis-remember are as follows:

Light up, light up
as if you had the choice
even if I could not hear your voice
I'd be right be side you, dear

It's ambient in feel...sort of like Interpol or Muse or No-Man or such. Though, I could be remembering it wrong.

I heard it on 96.5 FM for those locals reading along.

Please, please help me figure out what it is and exorcise this earworm before it makes me crazy!


Thanks.

They keep making this a sidebar story in hotmail...and I keep going to look, yet again.
I guess i must think it will change at some point.

10 places to see before you die
I think it's a bit odd that a South Dakota motorcycle rally made it to the top ten in the world, but whatever. :)

So, that got me wondering...what place(s) do you think should be seen before death?

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him well, Horatio. I sat next to him in Trig. -MST3K
I love Mystery Science Theater. Mmmm.

Also, anyone know any good ways to sell old clothes? Many of them are hardly worn...I tend to get clothes for Christmas...
I will be giving some of them away, but I'm needing money myself.

Any help will be rewarded with your weight in peanut M&M's. :)

Well, I have files still.
Files I can't get to. But (!) they're there. So not all research is lost.

I think it's the bios in the end.

The guru helped. And helped, and helped, and helped.
I owe ya.


Now, for my weekend of studying that now gets crammed into 2 hours. Bah.

Oh, and I have a date...first in Chicago...yay!

PLEASE
give me ideas for a good and seductive date for tomorrow night.

Thanks sweeties!
