If you read blogs, or anything with an RSS feed, I highly recommend Google Reader. Not only can you access your feeds from any computer, but the site's ease of use is steadily increasing as well. Proof from their website that they're trying their hardest to cater to your every need:
"You can hit the space key to page down and/or move to the next item. This way, you can move through your reading list by using only a single finger."
A single finger! Couch potatoes rejoice! Happy holidays.
Glad I was stuck in Boston, and not Denver (I had a canceled flight through there).
So this afternoon, I loaded up Reason and starting playing around with synths again - one of these days, I'll harness their power. This particular track is a "Fresh Push No Sequence" track. Apart from using quantize, all notes were entered with a MIDI controller. Check it out below :-/
1. I found a store in Harvard Square that sells the GS-1000, Grado's new $1000 flagship headphone. I was buying replacement pads for my SR-225's; the owner complemented my taste, then suggested that I return for the GS-1000 in a few decades - what a way to build customer loyalty!
2. I don't want to see the word "diastole" again for at least a couple years (and I won't have to - nyahh!). That includes EDV, preload, and diastolic dysfunction. Heck, add MAPs and TPRs and SVs and EFs and QRSs and EDRFs and NTSs to the list, too - I'm done with this shit. Gray's Anatomy is still okay, because they just say "pulse," and then switch over to the sex scenes.
3. I saw an old (~50 y.o.), dishelved man reading some really graphic manga about young babes on the red line. My first thought when I saw him was that he badly needed a haircut; it was only after I stopped trying to figure out how I would trim his hair that I realized he was pervin' it, too.
All in all, it feels good to finish the term - when I didn't study in college, I never really had this sensation. Maybe like Runner's High, this could be Nerd's High? Whatever. Time to watch people try to simultaneously steal each other's money for the seventh time (read: episode 7 of Kurosagi). It's a surprisingly decent drama that also guest-stars Sean Connery - see below.
The day is mine.

Quick addendum - I just want to commend this comedian for the two points he makes: 1.) Pachelbel's Canon absolutely SUCKS for cellists, and 2.) all pop music sounds the same. Or at least 90% of it. They all use the same damn chords - this would explain why Jameel likes 90% of all pop music.
