So let's see, what have

Posted at 01:19 AM on

So let's see, what have I purchased recently for not terribly good reasons?

1) Epson CX5400

2) Red/Black Chain Practice Nunchucks

3) Some Inkjet Paper from Staples

4) (in the process of buying) Stainless Steel Microwave

The CX5400 is supposed to print near-laser quality text decently fast with OK scanning/photo capabilities. Since I'll be printing out papers most of the time, that works for me. A nice flat bed scanner and the ability to make copies independent of a computer is a bonus. Haven't had much experience with it yet but the cost per page is supposed to be low (cheap cartridges and separated color cartridges). In any case, now I can scan in my figures I do for papers and attach it as part of the document. The better thing to do would be to digitize these sketches with some sort of a program (finale?) but I've yet to figure out a good way to do it that doesn't involve a hojillion hours.

I can't believe I just watched through all of Fuishigi Yuugi again. It's fun, in an often repetitive way I guess. Gets addictive (what happens next?!) in a normal TV-series kind of way. It's been about 4 years since I first saw it so I thought I might as well review it for fun. Also finished reading Pillars of the Earth [where Earth = Pr0n] recently. Kind of like Fushigi Yuugi in a way: they both revisit the same sort of devices over and over again and after a while, you start expecting bad things to happen just to move the plot along. Except in the case of Pillars of the Earth, half the time it involve random rape/sex scenes. Hence Pillars of Porn. It's a decently written book, though a tad on the long side. Fun to just do a quick read through.

So Now it's almost 1:30 and I need to read David Lewin. Sleep now, wake up at 9:30, read David Lewin until 11:00 and then go to my piano lesson, class at 12:30-3:00, then Shostakovich and Ligeti paper...and biblio...and Stravinsky...uhm...

...oh...and laundry...and when was the last time I checked my e-mail...
