– Hey. Experiencing a bit of hopelessness. Any insight on how to deal with it?

– These posts, and your reaction, make me want to sit and smoke a clove, saying nothing.

– Congrats on your lung-happy achievement. :)

– Hamsters are only the precurser to the true revolution. That, and I feel less and less desire to deal with those who invoke drama, even remotely. You know the entire group of people I’m talking about.

– I am jealous of your cat.

– Frank-san no tanjoobi wa itsu desu ka?

– I will continue to steal your Djarum Splash cloves.

To everybody – My car gets towed to Jack’s Auto tomorrow. My fingers are crossed for that price, as well as for the news from Dr. Wolff at MSU. Also, I payed off car insurance and rent today (including late fee). Two days ago, I paid phone and cable bills. That’s everything for another month.

AIM has once again blocked Trillian users from using their network. Again. Luckily for Mac users, Fire seems to be able to connect without difficulty.

I am hanging out with a certain graduate student Saturday night, eating Chinese food, and watching the last episode of Star Trek: Deep Space 9.

I’m waiting, rather impatiently, for a response from Dr. Wolff.

This is a letter I just sent to the Associate Dean of Computer Science at MSU:

Dr. Wolff,

My name is Dave Crampton and I am a past student at MSU. Since leaving MSU about two and a half years ago, I’ve been working in the field, and am now looking to return to MSU and finish my education. There are a few things about my standings as a student when I left that would limit my ability to return and gain the degree I’m after, which is why I’ve been referred to you.

Please let me know what you think of this, and if this is even possible. Thanks for your time.

The move to D-town doesn’t appear to be happening. So I’m taking a secondary option. I am not sitting on my ass any more.

You know, my dad once told me that he never really worried about me standing in a dark alley selling drugs… he worried about me standing in a dark alley selling pirated software. Needless to say, I laughed my arse off this morning when I read this comic.

Tonight, I am going to Spiral, and the new GothScape. Here’s the info:

First off, there aren’t that many pretentious goths in the Lansing, MI area. There just aren’t. Secondly, the first and last DJ names are retarded. They’ve probably got ferrets on leashes and are German nihlists. And how in the WORLD can you take a night with a regular showing of FIVE TO TEN PEOPLE and request a certain type of clothing, when people are ALREADY showing up in that sort of stuff ANYWAY?!

Ok, now with the rant, done, I’m going to it to check it out. So far, I’ve wrangled a few Green Spiral peoples, as well as , , and some friends from back in the day. I’m hoping the music was as good as last Tuesday’s was, because the pretention level on the flyer is f’amazing.

Undecided as to my inebriation level tonight.

Addendum: is rumored to be attending as well. :)

Randomness for sure. The In Perpetual Motion show was a blast last night, I had a great time. I ended up crashing on the love seat (which didn’t earn many protests from my knee, surprisingly enough) while there were still like three or four people here, and was DJ’ing. Unbeknownst to me, Leah, the infamous sexy voice of IPM, shook her breasts about an inch and a half to two inches from my face. I always sleep through the best stuff. Not sure how happy I am about the inebriation level I was at, but I had a good time nonetheless.

Beh. Pining blows.

is back from Las Vegas, I really need to hang out with him, like the old days. We haven’t done that in a while… the trip from Lansing to drop him off in his hometown was the closest we’ve been to that kind of discussion, and that was pretty much me asking how things were going in his life.

Oh, and my car is dead, until I can get it into the shop. No coolant into the engine. But, luckily enough, my State tax return check came in yesterday, so I’m hoping for the Federal one on Monday. They were both tele-filed, so they should both be lickety-split.

Did I mention that pining sucks?

Hrm. Maybe I should be a teacher.
