Another week. Another post. Another insignificant scratch on the lenses of history. Another sentence saying that I have nothing to say.
Which is true, if you think of "nothing" as "nothing very important." But here it goes anyway.
I took a shower. In fact, my hair is still wet and its making me chilled. Brrr chilled, as opposed to relaxed chilled, also known by hip and happening young people as "chillaxed."
Getting progressively more interesting: I modified my iPod using an application called iPodWizard. Unlike iPodLinux, which gave my iPod a delibitating kick in the nuts, this one left it unscathed. Check eet out. I changed the font from Chicago to Arial Black and added little icons by the items in the main menu. It's a little wonky, but good enough for now. I'm thinking of tackling the images (ie. do not disconnect screen, battery icon, startup Apple) some time in the near future, but the process is a little bit more time consuming than this one, so... in the near future.
Have I mentioned my new appreciation of Franz Ferdinand yet? No, I don't believe I have. Although they've reminded me of The Strokes, DEVO, and many other currently unmemorable bands, they hold a place closest to the Futureheads in my mind. Not to say that I hold them in higher esteem than the little English fellows, but I'm enjoying their self-titled album. It all started when Monica had me listen to a mash-up of their single Take Me Out and that catchy-as-fuck Milkshake song. After walking around for a week with it on instant repeat in my brain, I decided I had to hear the original. And now I'm liking them.
Mia and Ned: Trailer Park Boys is making me swear a lot. Otherwise, it's fantastic.
I really want to watch Thank You For Smoking. I've wanted to ever since I first saw the trailer, but my sparks of interest were rekindled into a forest fire when my Japanese teacher came back from a week in New York City ranting and raving about it. I'm slightly discouraged by the fact that the love interest is Katie Holmes and even more discouraged by the fact that this movie will probably never make it to Japanese theatres. Hmph.
Haha, saying 'forest fire' reminded me of my favourite Jim Lahey shit analogy. "I'm going to bring in a shit-nami wave and put out his shit flame."
I have to go. Maybe I'll think of something more to say later.
