Lazy me

I'm so lazy :) I woke up around 8 (can't seem to manage to sleep in anymore), but I've just been cleaning my place and starting to think about moving, instead of going outside to enjoy the day. Well, I'm finally all showered...

Anyhow, when I got back from Starbucks last night, I was really tired (it was late), and so I have some more notes.

Everyone there had a laptop. Well, not everyone, but well over 3/4 of the people in starbucks did, from middle schoolers to retirees. I guess I didn't anticipate spending a lot more time in coffeeshops, but now I probably will, at least for awhile. If I'm going to be doing that, I really should have a laptop, because I like to program but I also don't like spending too much time in my apartment. Money's gonna be tight for awhile (and I need to scrape together the money for first month's rent in the new place within a few days -- no easy task given my recent financial scrambling to arrange for the Perl Conference), so I might need to delay the laptop for awhile... hmm. Lists of things I want are fun. Here's one, which is a little bit blue-sky:

  • A co-located server somewhere, which I might share with suitably geeky other people
  • A nice, decent laptop which can run Linux
  • A Toyota Prius. Interestingly, the toyota site suggests that their new 2004 model has improvements to the hybrid system, with lower emissions(*woo*), higher fuel efficiency(*yeah*), and better acceleration (*shrug*) I really should read more about this, both for drool factor and because I'm curious what they changed, and how it works. Anyhow, kudos to Toyota for producing a fuel-efficient, less polluting car!
  • A Segway - I got to ride one a few months ago at a presentation at CMU, and it was fun. I'd like to own one, but in reality, I would have somewhat mixed feelings about it because I probably wouldn't be as strongly tempted to run if I could ride, and riding wouldn't help keep me healthy. Wierd mixed feelings..
  • A pair of scissors, so I can start to make a scrapbook (not everything should be blue-sky)
  • Several books on amazon (to add to the end of my moderately large to-read list)
  • Some running shoes

Actually, I can probably take care of some of that stuff today if I stop writing the journal and leave my place :) On the agenda is: A walk in the park, some nice Knish or MatzohSoup at a local restaurant, some time in a bookstore, and probably some time in Starbucks, later at night. Maybe I should've visited Columbus this weekend. I still could, but it's a bit late to make arrangements. I could visit my parents in Brecksville again, and see my grandparents more, who I haven't gotten to spend much time with. Speaking of which, I should visit my other grandma in texas soon.

Oh well. I have essays to write, things to read, a walk to take, food to eat, and when I get back, a webpage to update (maybe). I can't dillydally any longer, or the day will begin to come to a close.

Oh, and as a final note, here's a link to the website for the lava soap I love so much. The thing that I bought several of is the biggest container there.

Beeeeeef out, yo!
