a moveable feast and other miscellany

for about the past month, my girlfriend and i have been fake fighting about when i will next come out to see her. i am happy to submit that the fight has concluded, and i am going out to california for the second time on may 22 (aka 55 days from now).

in other news, i have finally completed the upgrades i made to my computer (which included a 320gb hard drive, and a 4gb memory boost)/. the hd took a little bit of time, as i didn’t initially realize that i could simply use the “restore” function in disk utility to copy from the old disk and create a bootable disk out of the new one. i fiddled around with what felt like five superduper! backups, and yelled at my time machine-enabled time capsule for not just doing what the fuck i wanted. lots of yelling. but all is well.

i have plans to go to the gym in a few. i’m up early (even for me) because for some unfathomable reason, i went to sleep at 3pm and woke at 11. i’m feeling somewhat refreshed nevertheless.

also, a cute surprise: i’m putting the phone i bought for Girlfriend in the mail today. since she has verizon (god.) she’s getting the voyager, which i’m eager to fiddle with and understand. she’s a big fan of teasing me for liking technology, but she’ll appreciate it when i know how to use her phone before it ever gets to her.

the odd couple, the newest gnarls barkley album, has been sitting in my itunes library for a little over a month (piracy rules), but i’m just now giving it a good listen. i put it in a playlist with imani coppola (the black and white album), koop (koop island) and hot chip (made in the dark).

not too much cohesion to this post, there’s probably going to be another one later.
