so, i decided against revisiting the montreal trip. the post i wrote was terrible, and i don't think i could fix it. i've learned that i get one shot at the few epic stories i go through, and i gotta make em count. so, in the future, i'll take more care in posting the big ones - even if that means a slight delay. i don't want to rush my content at the cost of quality. hehe.

pictures will go up tonight if i do not get completely hooked to animal crossing. given that a) i played the game for like one and a half hours last night (maybe less) and b) i'm thinking about that game a lot, it might be a close call. however, i gotta put the pictures up. there are just too many, and i wanna see how they all came out. i hope some of them are good.

i bought crack for $35 yesterday, under the guise of a nintendo game. animal crossing, the aforementioned "crack", is quite good, even though it is kinda stupid looking and silly. i don't know why, but i want to be out of debt and i want to have a nice house, even though its a fake house and i'm not really a dumb little animal with a huge head that wears green and blue checkered shirts with the matching hat. i'm not sure how nintendo did it, but i want to do the stupid things they ask me to do in that game, even though i'm aware at how stupid they are. maybe i'm just giving the game a fair go, and i'll get tired of it. however, i was reading about certain complete sets of furniture that i can get that only come out on certain holidays, and i got excited. which is sick. sick and wrong.

i started downloading classical music (because of bad influences). i listen to it, and its relaxing, but then i realize i'm listening to classical music and i feel pretentious. i need to let that self-inflicted feeling of pretentious-ness go away.

the last few days of work have been slow, since i have finished the previous tasks but have not yet been told enough to tackle the new tasks. it is shitty. i want to work, but they give me nothing to do. strange, and somewhat ironic.

finally, i made some MORE tweaks to elscorcho's layout, but i'm going to have to do a lot more tweaking before i can roll out the new elscorcho. let me think real quick... i think this is version 4 right now (4 or 5) and the next version is more like a 4.1 instead of a huge overhaul. i made the site more compliant and more flexible, and maybe i'll get around to doing the whole "customizable look" thing, just cuz i think that'd be neat.

actually, if you've been reading elscorcho since freshman year, could you remind me how many iterations i've gone through? i remember the first one was gray/orange/blue, the next one was all blue (if i remember right), the next one was the recent gray and lots of boxes everywhere, and this is the fourth one. i might be missing one in there... help?
