brick by boring brick

so today, i went to the library with just my book, pens, ipod, and phone. I barely glanced at my phone, took pages of color-coded notes with my numerous, variegated pens, and read an entire chapter of biological systems in under 2 hours. not bad. it's amazing how productive one can be without a computer.

but with a computer too! i love this new template of mine. obviously, it's taken from the creator who gets credit on the bottom, but with numerous edits of font, picture, and colors from ME :D i love coding, and i miss it, so whenever I get to manipulate some, i'm a happy nerdette.

in other news, "will grayson, will grayson" arrived today! right on time / maybe a day early! and so did my wavecams. I read about 6 chapters into WG, WG and like it enough so far. (i am not used to david levithan's style, so i'm partial to john green's WG for now.) ironically, levithan's non-use of capitalization bothers me a lot within a book. reminds me that i should capitalize. But this looks weird to me for blogging; so I don't know.

wavecam required dissembly and assembly of my original torpedo 40, or gnarls 'gnarly' barkley, as i've dubbed him from an early age. the dissembly was EASY with the hex key that they thankfully included as per my request. :) the removing of the locktab took SO long for me to understand. and the black grease is still underneath a few of my fingernails. (i haven't figured out cleaning that much yet...) and i found that my wave cams weren't really broken, just ungreased. (gonna invest in some white lithium grease when i get home) but i installed the new, freshly greased ones and reassembled. and it rides like a dream. much more sturdy than it has been for a few months. feels like a new board, minus the wheels (which are on their way + bearings! yay!)

STILL waiting on my all caps bundle... minus t-shirt. : /
what baffles me is that WG,WG was ordered maybe saturday and it's here, while my all caps which i ordered two weeks ago, still isn't. yes, yes--sticker troubles, but that doesn't make up for the waitinggg in anticipation while knowing that its climbing on itunes and everyone else already has their copy.

BME is still a go-- meeting with advisor tomorrow. (that rhymed!)

that's all. please comment letting me know what you think of this blog, my vlogs, me in general, etc. :)
