6 Minutes Until Boxing Day (Sales).
…In the Mountain Standard Timezone, at least. What a scary thought. Even though my laptop is rapidly losing keyboard functionality and hard drive space (and I would very much like a new one), I will hopefully not be standing in line anywhere tomorrow. I will instead be on a Greyhound, traveling up north to visit an old friend for a few days. Hopefully this will not be as awkward of a trip as...

Put aside logic. Do what feels right.

I am going home.
Leaving for the airport in 45 minutes. Never mind that I have to change planes and wait 3 hours in Toronto. I have leftover ribs and cornbread from last night to eat on the plane, My room is super clean, I’m all packed, I’m dancing to Great Big Sea, AND I just found out I aced my final yesterday. As in, 100%. Can today get any better than this? I think not.
4494 plays.
That is how many times my most played artist (Anberlin) has played on my computer and iPod, according to last.fm. That is a lot of plays.
And because apparently I am in a mood to give out random statistics, the total number of plays from every artist on my Top 10 Most Played list comes to 15780. This just goes to show that once I like someone’s music (or ten someones’ music, in this...
#95: Reject Joy
“Don’t enjoy because joy is a silly way to behave. There are people who are making a living out of rejecting joy. Because it’s a useless emotion. Because it could make you vulnerable. Yes, it will make you vulnerable. But being vulnerable is the only way to really experiment life in all its dimensions. Life is not safe. But it’s full of joy.”

#5: Dream Without Taking Action
“Daydreaming is good. It opens your heart to new universes and goals. But daydreaming without action is useless. Sitting on your fat ass while waiting for all your intentions to manifest, without taking the smallest action for moving things forward, won’t change anything. Oh, sorry, it will change something: you[r] ass will be fatter.”

Snowflakes and silent nights
The snow was falling aimlessly and gracefully and it was magical and suddenly, finally, everything felt peaceful again. I could’ve stayed outside all evening just to watch it fall, but my knees were freezing.

Only 1209600 seconds remaining
Until I get to go home :). (Even though there will likely be four feet of snow on the ground when I get there).

How can you expect to win this war if you're too...
I slept for 12 hours today.
This is a remarkable achievement, seeing as I also slept through four alarms, the 3-year-old child in this house getting shipped off to daycare (she usually screams her head off), and the monsoon-like rains that took place overnight.
It is also remarkable because the night before last, I got one hour of sleep, and the night before that, two hours. I guess my body decided enough was enough and...
Flash CS4... the story continues.
I have one of those semi-abusive love/hate relationships with this program. It does amazing things sometimes, and sometimes it does exactly what I want it to do and more. Which is wonderful while it lasts.
And then there are the days when I change a line of code on line 235 and it screws up something completely unrelated on line 16, just because it can. And its error messages are so vague that...

Addicted last night, tonight, and for the next...
Never too soon; Oh, reckless abandon, Like no one’s watching you.
A moment, a love, a dream, aloud. A kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs.
So stay there, ‘Cause I’ll be coming over. And while our blood’s still young; It’s so young, it runs. Won’t stop til it’s over, Won’t stop to surrender. Songs of desperation; I played them for you. A moment, a...
