Hey guess what? I just "discovered" that I can save money by not spending $150 a month on music and DVDs. I can download full albums and movies from the internet and record them onto blank CDs and DVDs. I guess I am a little behind the times on this one, but I was hung up on the ethics of the situation for a while. I suppose I just got a little annoyed when I stopped by Virgin Megacorp last night and the two CDs that I wanted were $18.99 apiece. Ahem...$40+ for two albums.

So I put on my anarchy face and walked out. My anti-establishment fire wasn't quenched until I pulled two freshly burned discs from my 32x and scrawled the album titles on the top with my sharpie. Their surfaces were still warm as I introduced them to my stereo, and within 10 minutes of starting the downloads, I had perfect digital copies of these $20 albums. I even ended up getting a few more (including the new Hot Snakes, which Virgin didn't have), that were probably a bit closer to my new acceptable buying range of $14 or less, but were still there for the taking. Being a chile of the Church of Instant Gratification has its perks.

My shoulder/back muscles are starting to look a bit more prominent. Ever since I realized that I have the posture of an 80 year old whore, I've been taking measures to make sure that I don't end up with a fucked up back and neck. Being unnecessarily tall lends itself to various spinal injuries (my family is a good example), so I figure I might as well nip it in the bud. Hopefully this step towards increasing my general health will also increase my general attractiveness to the opposite sex. Females that is...

Speaking of which, Hurricane Isidore was not female. I've never met a man named Isidore, but I suppose I've never met a man named Gustave either. By the way, severe storms are always a great excuse for being antisocial...
