you may be wondering why the homepage has suddenly turned grey. well, february 24th is grey tuesday, a day of internet protest against major record labels, in particular EMI. DJ danger mouse's "the grey album," which mixes jay-z's black album with the beatles' white album has been banned from record stores and the airwaves, because EMI, who retains the copyright to the beatles' white album, did not grant danger mouse the sampling rights. the grey album obviously does not serve as any sort of substitute for the white album, and would not affect EMI's profits from sales of this album. in fact, if anything, it would probably increase awareness and appreciation for the white album and boost sales. so, i'm joining the downhill battle for using copyright law as it was intended, to protect artists' interests while still encouraging innovation in art and music.

i slept through my first class this morning, which wasn't suprising, since i'd had 5 hours of sleep in 65 hours before going to bed last night. i spent wednesday at work drinking a lot of coffee and trying not to let my eyes roll back in my head.
i'm leaving for costa rica in exactly two weeks. well, i take that back. i'm actually leaving for miami in 2 weeks, and once we get there we'll leave for costa rica. it's kind of strange to realize that this is my last real "spring break" ever. i'm definitely going out in style. (and, guessing from reading the lonely planet, covered in mosquito bites.)
question of the day: should i get my hair cut before or after spring break? i want to cut it pretty short, so i might not be able to pull it back all the way when i get it cut. it might be nice to be able to do that in tropical weather (or, as lonely planet put it, "a climate built for laziness." this is my kind of place.), but it would also be nice to have it short in said climate. thoughts?
i have an alexa rating! it's not very high (1,503,774), but it still makes me feel cool. everyone should go download the alexa toolbar. it turns the internet into a popularity contest while blocking popups. as you can see, i have added a comments feature. i'm going to pretty it up here soon, along with adding those pictures i keep talking about. keep your pants on, it'll get done.
also, can anyone tell me how to get out of the crimson room? because it's really starting to annoy me. i think i need to find 2 more objects that stick to the red box. but i have no idea what or where they are. help!

sometimes i stay up really late being bored or updating my webpage when i should be sleeping. i'm going to be mad at myself tomorrow, but the poetry page is done, save the polaroid that's going to go on the main page. i don't know which one it will be yet. photos are next. get excited.
does anybody know of a good comments program that is pretty easy to manipulate and is blogger compatible? if so, just go ahead and leave me a comm... oh right. better IM or send an e-mail.
quote of the day goes to whit: "I READ BOOKS UNTIL THE SUN SAYS 'HELLO I'M BACK'"
i'm going to bed, so give us some cuddles. (watch "robokopf")

so i didn't technically lie about not having a valentine's day date. i had four. i went to see the butterfly effect and to dinner at maggiano's with nick, whit, jonathan, and bvd. bvd gets to be last on the list because he forgot my name. (ask him to tell you the story.) a super time was had by all. highlights from the evening included dressing the boys and when the waiter came to bring us back our credit cards. he opened the top folder on the stack, looked at it, said, "whitney!" and plopped the thing down right in front of me. i picked it up, handed it to whit, and said, "uh, he's whitney." just as whitney said in a manly voice, "uh, yeah, i'm whitney." i think the waiter felt stupid, because he started telling us about having sisters with boys' names or something else that didn't make any sense. he wasn't too super.
went on another surf trip today. eventually i'm going to get some surf pictures on the site. you'll notice i fixed the links over to the right, so i really am good for it. now go play.

oof. early. i've given up the rare option of sleeping in to go surfing with the boys. and by surfing i mean taking pictures of them surfing. this photo story better be really good. (because it's not like i've ever had fun on one of these trips or anything :P)
in honor of my butt's valiant willingness to be frozen completely off on the beach, go play with this. wish my flash were that good...
Majere344: I'm about ready to leave
CuriousPokey: ok i'm down to the last lonely 3.5 cheerios, floating in pinkish milk
CuriousPokey: oops, there they go.

it's valentine's day (happy birthday, mommy), but barbie doesn't have a date.
neither do i. but i do have a weblog. the polka dots have been engineered to look strikingly similar to my weekly planner (a lined notebook that i bought at borders and added darker lines and dates to). i am still trying to decide if i like this pink color that's dominating all the headings and links, or if i want to change it to something more subtle. i need to find a comments program and actually personalize those links over to the right. but for now... behold the power of cheese.
enough creativity for one night. i'm going over to nick's.
