i would be more upset about the commenting thing if i actually updated more. sometime maybe i'll have time to hook something else up, but for now, i have way too much happening. classes are interesting; i thought they were all going to be easy, and for the most part they are. i feel like a bit of a slaker in school. work is chaos, as usual. we're all supposed to move in together with pastors.com in March. PDL sales just flew past 13 million. i think we all sort of loose sight of the global impact of what we are doing. being engaged is weird becuase i look at all sorts of things differently now. so that part of my life is crazy too, [insert long paragraph on relationship drama here] but for the most part its a good crazy.
going to see The Get Up Kids in march. excited about that. need to buy tickets for the tooth and nail tour... forgot to ask Seth for a hook up. maybe next time.
midterms are this week... guess i should study for that.

in music news, check out brand new and also the starting line, who is signed on the same label duo Drive Thru/Giffren as SoCo.

i know that this quarter is going to be great. here are some quotes from my new profs...

*--* James Steintrager, Comp Lit 50b. he's great because he's one of those white american english teachers who has fallen in love with japanese culture in the way that only a white american english teacher can...
.... so there is a war lord in Fullerton, and a war lord in Tustin. And you don't step foot in Tustin....

*---* Professor Schonfeld, Pol Sci 6C. he's great because he's jaded and funny and can somehow link masturbation to political science...
...we wear shirts that tell little stories..... Poli Sci can affect your personal life. You can study The Seduction by Macciaveli and John Locke in the Bedroom
