Today I will not get paranoid and read too much into people's actions or lack of them.
For reals this time.

Playing "Amazing Grace" on the banjo is... more satisfying than anything I have ever played on the guitar. Ever. Except maybe Carter Family songs.
Even playing it with a pick, like some kind of disgusting rock and roll heathen.

Today, I realized that the bitch-fest my mom unleashed at me the other day about housing for next year was almost completely unwarranted.

basically she accused me of throwing away their money with no regard by being completely irresponsible, being spoiled for wanting to live off-campus, etc....
did a little research, and right now I'm/they're paying more than twice as much rent per month (to live in school-owned apartments), which is even less than I'd be paying to live in a dorm. So, instead of throwing their money away, I am saving it. Which is nice to realize.

I did the math and thought that I was wrong, and that school-owned apartments were only a tiny bit more, and include utilities...
and then I realized that, no, because the rent for a non-school apartment was listed in terms of TOTAL, and the rent for a school-owned place was listed in terms of PER PERSON.
So we would be paying... less than half as much, per person.

So, yeah, I found a kick-ass duplex to live in.

I still can't figure out whether it's awesome or horrible that your school owns apartments.

You've never played surf rock on guitar, eh?

My school had those, too. It's a lot like a dorm, but you get a kitchen and have to clean everything yourselves.

In my case, the latter lead to a horrifying bathroom that resulted in lady callers going next door to the neighbors.

Man...

I've been getting my haircuts for friends for a while, and lately they have been turning out awful. So I decided to spring for a "real" haircut.
Turns out, professionals can cut hair so that it looks like I cut it myself without a mirror.

Actually, no. It looks exactly like it looks when I am growing out a buzzcut.

Do I cut my losses and just buzz it off? Hm.

My computer got thirsty a couple days ago and gulped down a whole cup of "liquid". So I've been forced to do things like go to this thing called a library and read text printed on compressed dead tree guts. It is the saddest thing.

Acap: I was thirsty one day and I sat down. A year later, Jack's was built around me and thirst is a recurring thing.

I choose to interpret "liquid" in the most disgusting, sexual way possible.
