Mixtape Experiment 2008

EDIT: Link fixed.

S0, uh, about that mixtape Experiment. From, uh, June.

Oh wait! Here it is!

*cough*

Cell phones and books

I recently got a new cell phone. I'm frustrated by the fact that I can't turn a song on it into my ringtone, however apparently I can make a video a ringtone. So I might just film a song being played loudly and use that.

Tomorrow is Word on the Street in a variety of locations around Canada; I'm looking forward to getting some intriguing books for cheap! I've made some great purchases there in the past (including a $50 science encyclopedia/dictionary for $5), and it's always interesting to see who sets up. I'm guessing that my backlog of books to read will be increased tomorrow.

Webcomic discovery

I happened upon "Kawaii Not" today. It's "the webcomic for cute gone bad". I have been laughing all the way through the archives, and I would wear most of the comics on a tshirt. Check it out.

Internet Fun

Clean desk and room!

Ohmygosh it is so nice.

Glorious, glorious sleep

I am caught up on sleep and sleeping at regular hours and it is GLORIOUS. Sleeping is definitely not overrated. I feel so good.

In other news, I can't see my desk again. That will have to be rectified this week. There is an empty spot where my laptop usually sits, because I am getting more RAM! And the flickery screen fixed! Hurrah!

I found what looks like a delicious recipe for a rice/Italian sausage/rapini dish. I will try it out soon, I think.

If you buy any of the Polaris nominated albums from certain locations (check out the Polaris website) you get a free song download card! HMV was late in getting into this deal, but that is okay. I forgive you, HMV. You should, however, stop selling books and other things, HMV, because it is very distracting and not what I am looking for when I walk into your store.
