fab in the house (again)

Yet again, I've been slacking, but here's a little something until I have time to piece together a semi-coherent narrative once more:

- Just returned from visiting a friend in Louisville, Kentucky, and I have been instructed to tell the rest of the world that this cool little city is not filled with country bumpkins ignorant of modern conveniences and culture. The rents are cheap, the restaurants are amazing and my liver is recovering from the consumption of (too many) fine wines. If only they could do something about the humidity. And the lack of Trader Joe's.

- I got a 97 on the stats midterm I took last week. Alas, since this feat was the result of my skills in the fine art of cramming, I could not for the life of me explain any of the formulas that I knew by heart last week. My exam was done at about 8:45pm, and by 9, those suckers were gone.

- Anyone who complains about Harry Potter ,book 7, is just a hater and should be ignored. Or flogged, your choice.

- I went to see Snow Patrol at the Greek Theatre last night. After watching his performance on the big screens alongside the stage, I'm partially convinced that the lead singer has Tourette's, or perhaps a neuromuscular disorder. Granted, he is a white boy, but that does not excuse what I can only assume were his attempts at dancing. Fortunately for those of us in the audience, the boy can sing (and with an Irish accent, no less), so all is forgiven.

- Philosophical debate of the day: is it better to remain ignorant of a situation, always wondering 'what if'? Or better to find out the truth, but only after it's too late to change anything about it? I can't decide either.
