For some reason I have mixed feelings about tablets.
On one hand, it seems like it's just a smartphone made less useful by being bigger and more cumbersome. It's not exactly something you stick in your pocket and carry with you at all times--I have a smartphone for that.
On the other hand...it's kinda something my 6-year-old self would have thought was from the year 3000. It's a full computer, more or less, that fits into something the size of a book. Instead of taking a book to bed with me, I can get the ebook, then have that in bed with me alongside a full web browser, videos, music, podcasts, etc...
I know that if tablets had existed back in, oh, 1985, I would have been in heaven. It would have been like having Penny's magic book computer from Inspector Gadget!

The one absolutely awesome thing about working is having money of your own, I can now decide that I want pizza and just go out and buy pizza. It's awesome.
On that note, I'll see you all later, because I'm going out to get pizza.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
That sounds annoying. What exactly went wrong, if you don't mind my asking?
Um see the work study system here changed...so not even the staff knows what this new crap is. You have to sign a form (as well as your employer) and then it gets submitted with the other form that lets you get paid. Apparently, the clerk who files stuff didn't submit anyone's hours because they had not heard back about the work study until a day after pay day.

Yeah...the old system was much easier. "I have work study" "K, whatever, here's your moneys." Well, kind of like that anyway. You actually knew how much you could get in a semester. Now, they don't tell you, just put a $2,000 cap on it.
Rest of my day was okay. The internet here is terrible though and went out for awhile. But, I went and worked out while it was being funky.

I'm doing okay too. My classes went well, though my physics lab didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped. I also got to catch up with one of my friends for a bit. That was really nice.

Well, that would explain things (particularly why the most popular of us altos was a drunken drug-addict for most of his life).
@ Truant: I think you should do some animated lyrics for the songs you keep posting. I think you'd have the creativity and liking for the job.

I believe the genre's called kinetic typography. Like this
...now I don't care. Odd.
I'm slightly curious about his Waiting For the Barbarians opera, since I thought the book was pretty good.

Other people can have them and enjoy them, I just don't like them.
They can be alive, I just don't like them.
Don't wreck this place in the meantime

She doesn't believe that I have depression because I, and I quote, "wear bright colours."
We got matching neon orange hoodies together... I was wearing mine to please her... And that's how she treated me...
*hugs back*
Also, the work study system is stupid and is why me and many other people did not get paid this week.

How about you?
