hmm, i have a few minutes before i need to pick up my laundry, so i figure i should post a little something. it’s been a few months since i’ve really put up anything really worth reading. at one point, i think i had managed to get some interesting stuff up on a pretty regular basis sprinkled with some good rambles in between.

over the course of the spring, my semester really caught up with me, like graduation, and my artshow. in fact, i still have a few thousand emails that i have to organize or at least respond to, some of it dating back to may… scary huh?

suffice to say, i put off most of my more directed web reading, although i’ve been unsuccessful in stopping some of my online habits. in any case, i basically slept for a month after finishing up my semester (instead of getting to some projects i really should have done, or looking for a job). and then spent the past month and a half on spanish.

so, now, it looks like i’m soon to finish some work i’ve been putting of and taking off for a few weeks to taiwan real soon now. after which, i’ll probably be on the east coast for a friend’s wedding (maybe) and to visit some old friends (maybe).

First Daughter Jenna Bush has every reason to be fed up with the beating she’s taken on late-night TV. But confronting Craig Kilborn in a bar probably won’t help matters very much. A West Coast spy reports that the 19-year-old Bush was in a Los Angeles watering hole last week when she spotted Kilborn drinking with Vince Vaughn. Bush, who’s spending the summer in L.A. as an intern at entertainment firm Brillstein-Grey, introduced herself to Kilborn and then pleaded, “Will you stop making fun of me on the air?” Sure, Kilborn said. But then, without missing a beat, he cracked, “So, can I buy you a beer now?”

hmm, been sorta mia. work and schtuff. now, i’m not the biggest flash fan, but i must say, this palaxytracks page is frickin cool.

“Chusssh chusssh” right note for safety – apparently this professor at leeds university has created a new alarm sound which is instantly recognizable and locatable. “It initiates a reaction that makes you instantly turn towards that sound.” very cool, and also a bit scary.
