I keep coming back to Burroughs, I don't know why. A friend (not a friend anymore) once told me it's because I was not a mature reader. I laugh off such suggestions; in the meantime, I eat cold pizza.

I remember the incessant pain
that froze the lymph in my glands
when the baneful words
seared my reeling brain...


I was a 30-year-old unemployed student.


Not so bad; not so bread, either.

Went to an Industrial Advisory Board meeting the other day, met a dude who is possibly my hero... Mechanical engineer by training, branched out into studio design and now renders 3D models of car wrecks and platform collapses for the car and oil industry. In his spare time, he is revamping a motocross track and producing music and music videos.

Must be a nice life...

Most of Brazil had a massive blackout last night. Many dipshit media types are reporting that this may be cause for concern about Rio de Janeiro hosting the olympics in 8 years. These same dipshits are probably the same ones who promoted New York City as a potential olympics host site, forgetting the comparably massive power outage that occurred just 5 years ago.

Rio is a beautiful city; had an absolute blast there during my honeymoon. Hang out on Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, walk around in Santa Teresa, and stay away from the ghettos... You'll be fine. But I guess that's just too goddamn practical for some people.

Stayed up 'til 3:00 AM coding last night... Feel like someone scraped me across the asphalt this morning. The weather's absolutely beautiful, though, as it usually is in November... Can't really complain too much.

Today marks the beginning of a very difficult stretch in school... If I can get through this obscene noise, I can get through pretty much anything (I seem to be telling myself this every few months or so).


Hooray for Beatles Rock Band; I'm not sure I've ever had so much fun playing a video game before. Not only do I get to play old favorites like 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' and 'Dear Prudence', but I'm also discovering tracks that I have shamefully ignored up until now, like 'Dig A Pony' and 'I Me Mine'... Too wonderful.

I also have new respect for Mr. McCartney... Holy shit, what fun, lovable, creative bass lines that guy conjured ('Can't Buy Me Love' has some of the slickest bass I've ever heard)! And I used to think he was just the band's mascot... Oh, the shame.

I'm building a DJ mixer for my electronics design project... It's remarkably easy once you understand a thing or two about operational amplifiers. It won't have all the bells & whistles of a Rane or Pioneer mixer (e.g. BPM counters, samplers, effects knobs), but it'll be made with about $12 worth of components, so I can't feel too bad about that.

Last week was one of the more brutal weeks I've had in awhile. There was enough school work to keep me up 'til 2:00 AM (or later) every night (which wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't have to be up at 6:30 AM every morning). However, looking at my major's flowchart, this should be the last Hell semester I'll have to deal with before graduation.

Today it rains early and often and very, very hard.
