A Geek of Many Colors

despite the rain and getting a late start, the aforementioned balitmore trip was a success*. atomic books didn't have a few of the books i was looking for (they'd just sold out of the art of modern rock, for example), but i made out ok. sound garden wasn't bad, either. [see below for the booty]

finally saw Mean Girls (via netflix) last light. it wasn't bad for a dumb teen movie, i guess, but it lacked the nudity that could have made it great. i mean, did we not learn anything from Porky's? we were going to watch Before Sunset, but travis fell asleep almost immediately after getting home, so i decided to save it for some other time.

i intend to start work on the photos section today and hopefully have at least a little something up soon. i found some good code earlier this week, which should help in building the galleries.

i'll have to watch the time if i want to get anything done. i've been playing gamecube again recently. thanks to leslie, i got back into Zelda: The Wind Waker and have been progressing quite nicely. which is good, because i told myself i can't buy any new games before i finish more of the ones i have. until i do, there won't be any of this or this.

*Success, as in successfully spending too much $$$.

haha...yeah, that movie definitely goes well with some level of inebriation.

i haven't yet dug into the tomine book, but i'm a fan. he's awesome and he really knows how to capture the essence of indie girls and shit. in fact, my roommate and i were joking about wanting to date his drawings. retarded.
