I’ve been making a list of films I need to see at some point. I’ve pretty much been making a mental note of them for the past few years.

• - Harold and Maude
• - Un Chien Andalou
• - The Short Films of David Lynch
• - Re-Animator
• - Withnail and I

I would have more to list, but I can’t seem to remember them right now.

I’ve been meaning to redesign the layout for this site, but I just haven’t had the time (or desire). I’ve been working quite a bit lately, so I’ve really not had much time to do anything. It’s been about a week and a half since I’ve had time to spend just checking SomethingAwful and my other slew of sites. I did go to Asheville yesterday and picked up some grape shisha from HookaH-HookaH, and I had a chance to try it out. It was better than I expected, although it looked pretty disgusting. I’ve never actually tried any that used honey instead of molasses, so it was pretty different. It certainly was easier to separate and there weren’t as many twigs as I usually find in Starbuzz flavors.

I finally bought a new server. Yes, Alice has been laid to rest and has been superseded by my new server, mogwai. Mogwai is an Acer Revo R1600 running Debian stable 64bit. I bit the bullet and built a kernel for it without CIFS support and I’m not even going to transfer files to it using SSH (I know, right?). Instead, I’ve found that NFS4 provides throughput speeds way faster than either of those two (why I even used CIFS before, I don’t know?), not to mention it no longer takes an hour to build a kernel.

This afternoon, I ordered a Bodum Santos.

I’m pretty excited because I’ve heard the coffee it makes is really good – not bitter at all, and there are no grounds left behind. Unfortunately, I’m just not manly enough to use it with a butane burner, BUT I’m going to be daring and bring a hot plate to school with me in the fall. If you look up a demo of one in action, you’ll be jealous. And you’ll want one. Amazon sells them for $50 and they retail at $120.

Also: of Montreal sounds like Phoenix. And I don’t have to work tomorrow. Sa-weet.

Look what I found:

1994.

HELLO WORLD. STOP USING JAVASCRIPT TO OPEN LINKS. IF I SEE javascript:; IN MY TAB(S) ONE MORE TIME…

Thanks. I love taffy.

I finally received my first paycheck of the summer on Wednesday and splurged on a new skateboard.

ABEC 3, 7.75′. I just hope it’ll be here by the end of next Friday since I’ll be gone to a happy place after then. I slept from 6pm until 6:30am. And Valve needs to release Steam for Linux already because the new version sucks under wine.

When you smoke, you inhale a chemical called nicotine. Nicotine feeds the tiny tobacco executives that live inside your lungs.

Oh yeah, it’s real.

I had a dream last night that I ate some watermelon with Steve Buscemi. I can only remember him asking if I had salt to go with his slice.

“A sentencing date will not be set until prosecutors decide whether they will retry kernel on the deadlocked charge” [...]

You can’t retry a deadlocked kernel. The only way out is a hard reset.

Doh ho ho ho!
