today i added another link at the left. i found out that it costs 2 dollars and 80 cents a minute to call and wish my friend josh in australia happy birthday if i use my USC long distance plan to call from my dorm room. how nice. i sat next to a girl so great looking in my visual culture class that i think it actually hurt me to be near her. naturally, i didn’t talk to her or anything. i’ve had two pieces of pumpkin pie so far today. i longed — again — after rachel from the real world. i have to write a one page paper about which type of hinduism appeals most to me before the night’s through. i’m almost done cooking a deep dish red baron pizza for one, arguably the saddest dinner of all. i’m hungry and sort of bored.

but today isn’t all sad, even if i feel awfully empty today. shiner has a new website up which is impressively sharp and neat, and you can download “the egg” from the same-named album which comes out in october. good song. yesterday, my very nice grandmother sent me a box full of goodies. the store-bought pumpkin pie is actually very tasty. nothing i could call “bad” happened to me today.

see, you just have to focus on the high points.
