Waking up after 8.5 hours of sleep is much preferable to waking up after 5.5 hours of sleep, I’ve found. I make this “getting enough sleep” thing a high priority.

I messed up most of northwestern.edu for a while today after adding a <!DOCTYPE> to every HTML page. That wasn’t cool.
Last night, while having a fabulous dinner at Taco Bell, I overheard a great conversation between three very sorority-ish sorority girls (probably Kappa or Tri Delt). My favorite quote, paraphrased, was something like “yeah, that was a really crazy party, but maybe it just seemed that way because I was really drunk.” Fabulous. Now don’t get me wrong; I love sorority girls. Who wouldn’t? They make the walk to class so much more interesting. But these chicks were living the stereotype. Well, more power to ya.
A few random observations:
- “Hot For Teacher” by Van Halen may very well be the most kickass guitar work ever recorded.
- I hate skateboarders. I want to closesline those fucks every time they skate by.
- Out of four classes this quarter, three of them take the top three spots for most-boring-class-I’ve-taken-at-NU.
- I miss watching ESPN. O Free Cable, come back to me.

I watched Waiting for Guffman tonight with Julia. Hilarious movie. If you don’t know it, it’s in the “mockumentary” vein, a la This is Spinal Tap. I pissed Julia off soon after meeting up with her by arguing about politics. I should be more careful about stuff like that. I get people mad without even trying, and then it’s hard to get it back to the way it was, you know?
I’m trying out this new idea of going to sleep before 2:00 a.m., even on weekends. Neat, huh?
Argh, I really should get a lot of homework done this weekend. I don’t know if it’ll happen, but I know that it should happen. I need to start doing background reading for my senior thesis. It’s lingering in the back of my mind, and I can’t stand not doing something active about it.
Oh, and to borrow from Tony’s Web site’s format…
FACT: pickled herring is fabulous.
