can i set blogger to not switch over to the next day until 3 or 4am, so when i write things late at night (i.e. after midnight), i don’t feel the need to draw attention to the fact that i’m describing events of what is technically the previous day but as far as i’m concerned was just earlier today? that seems like something i should be able to do.

yeah, today (tuesday) turned out okay. i finished another neat book, i readied a special package for its intercontinental flight, and i watched half of die hard. that movie just kills me. how can there be so many cheesy/priceless one-liners in a single film? it’s amazing! i mean, the friendly black cop actually says, “my car is getting turned into swiss cheese out here!” . . . and means it! i love it.

but back to the literature, i have to find a new book to read now, because my stack of books-in-waiting is down to the one i’m about to start and no more, which is trouble, because i hate having nothing to read. especially since i’m about to embark on spring break, during which i’m sure i’ll finish at least one book in the many hours of aiport and flight time on the way to see kate and some other friends in far off cities.

hey, that’s right, i’m going to see kate and my other friends in a matter of days! now that’s some good news. let’s get out of this place. go somewhere colder, somewhere new, and somewhere i can spend time with dear friends i see far too infrequently. or never, as the case may be (but we’ll not dwell — the emphasis is on how much i’m looking forward to saturday and how soon saturday will be today).

yes, today (tuesday) was such a good day i deserved to buy myself 30 dollars worth of cd’s. i mean, i need something fresh to spin in the player while i’m grumbly and groggy on the plane to maintain good spirits, don’t i? i think i deserve it. and i want to be smiling when i get off the plane so i don’t scare off my hosts. so it’s really for the best.
