go off on tangents

Lately I keep starting things but never finish. Like books. And mix cds. And projects at work. And cleaning my room. Oh yea and probably the biggest one... my website.... The worst part is I see this and yet i can't bring myself to change it.

I don't work until 6 pm tonight. So I had all day and could have gotten so many different things done. At the very least I could have cleaned my room, finished those cds and made some webpages. nope. None of the above. I woke up at 7 am. I read for a couple hours. (so I guess I kinda made some progress) I took a nap. I ate some lunch. I watched Empire Records. And now I'm back at the computer.

So I work today from 6 pm to 3 am. Why? you ask. To re-merchandise cheese. Yea I don't know what that means either. But I can tell you all about it tomorrow.

I realized the reason I haven't really posted anything lately is because all I do is work and sleep and spend time online. Which doesn't seem all that interesting to me. But I've decided to begin posting about it anyway. And maybe it will lead me to more interesting topics to talk about. For example this post has just gotten ridiculous with its miscellanity. yes that's right I like to make up words.

Tonight at work I'm supposed to talk to my boss about one of those projects and why I've seemingly stagnated and how we can fix that. Hopefully it will be a good meeting. I predict, however, that we'll talk about it, but nothing will be changed to help me get the job done.

So I'm caving in. I need an mp3 player, and have needed one, but I couldn't bring myself to buy an iPod. It seemed too cliched, too mainstream. And this isn't something I usually have a problem with, but this time it bothered me. Now I'm caving. But to be different I'm buying the black one. When was the last time you saw someone with the black iPod? I don't think I ever have. The question is, what to have engraved on the back. By purchasing online, I get free shipping and two lines of 27 characters to be engraved for free. It's actually more space than it sounds like. I've been trying to come up with something better than "alex's iPod" because if that's the best you can do, you really shouldn't be engraving anything at all. Let me know if you have suggestions.

i totally forgot you were blogging again.

here are some ideas:

"i have better taste in music than you" (although that's totally not true)

"yuppie scum"

some mathmatical formula

...ok that's all i've got. for now.

story of your life. we should just call you nano.

definitely go with jess's idea, it's so true. omg we should get matching ipod engravings and it can be half of a heart with either "best" or "friends" but i get "best" because i always got stuck with "friends" or yours can say "alex" and mine can say "sucks" or yours can say "yuppie" and mine can say "scum" except i don't want my ipod to say "scum" because then i'd just call it scum and be like "hey, where's scum" and that's gross.

i should name the dog scum! PUPPY SCUM!! HA
