A Playlist
Stuff that has been played to no end as of late, in no order, maybe chronologically. And one-liners about each:
1. Raise Your Weapon - Deadmau5
Am I the only one who somewhat appreciates the dubstep part of this?
2. Black and Yellow - Wiz Khalifa
Turn your swag on to the max.
3. Chopin Etude in c# minor, Op. 10, No. 4 - Maurizio Pollini
The piece I am using to reinvigorate my interest in...
In Upcoming News...
In the next few days I will post up my 10 favorite films of 2010. I don’t think there will be a set interval between posts; they’ll just appear when I feel like it.
I’m pretty sure I had other ideas in my head while I was showering, but now I can’t think of what I was previous thinking.
The evolution of American pop is more like the rather disappointing move to...

I am an Hour Behind on Daily Posts.
I was pretty scared shitless on Wednesday for school. After today I think things eased up quite a bit. Today was a super long day but I made it out better than I thought I would. Didn’t fall asleep in any class. Even if it was from 9 to 6 with one 60-minute break and one 45-minute break.
Things can only get worse from here, I suppose. The probable key to victory is to not fall behind;...
It's Really Difficult to Keep Up With a Post Per...
I think the worst part is that I landed myself in perhaps another difficult quarter. I’m losing track. Will post full-er post tomorrow.
I also realized my Unplayed playlist is down to only 10 songs. On 9/1/2010, I refreshed all my play counts, so I started from scratch. I also made sure the library size never exceeded 2500 songs. If I added songs, I had to remove songs. Thus I began...
Ok, Maybe I Should Just Resolve to Post AT LEAST...
I left the house at 9:15 AM. If all went well, I should use up my tank of gas entirely, no more and no less, by the time I get to UCLA. I should only have to drive 350 miles and spend around 6 hours on the road. I predicted a 3:15 to 3:30 arrival. Smooth, no issues here and there. Snap. Click.
Instead, everything else that no one had expected to happen happened.
After about 2 hours of driving, I...
