So it’s fucking cold out. I normally am not bothered, but due to my health kick I decided it’d be an A+ idea to walk to campus for some exercise. That turned out be true for the exercise part (as it’s a decent uphill walk) but enduring the cold apocalypse made me question if it was truly worth it.

A few nights ago my cat decided that I needed a new keyboard and to accentuate her point she did me the favor of knocking over a nearly full glass of water on it (and everything surrounding it that she also apparently had disdain for). This resulted in my making a trip to the candy-land known as Micro Center and purchasing a Logitech G11. Honestly, I forgot just how much I love the sound the keystrokes make on a brand new keyboard. They just whisper sweet nothings to you as you type away, gently caressing your ears in a symphony of muted clicks. I also have a strange love affair of blue glowing shit on my computer apparati, which was extremely satiated to realize all the keys emit a faint blue glow. The best part about this keyboard and the main reason I chose it though, was the fact that it has 18 hard programmable macro keys, with 3 subsets to make a total of 54 virtual ones! This comes in handy for various games that I play and some programs that have a ton of silly menus to go through that can be condensed down into one hotkey.

Some time recently one of the radio stations I listen to decided to do my ears the favor of playing the entire new Mindless Self Indulgence CD. Mostly it sounds like You’ll Rebel to Anything to me which I absolutely loved (it has the strongest starting song of damn near any album I’ve ever listened to). It’ll be great to have along for the trip out to Burning Man this year!
