Two sources of amusement for y'all, because I dug out my N64 microphone and jumped through the right hoops to make it work on my laptop. These are Ogg-Vorbis audio files (most people should be able to play them, hopefully)

• My reading Sigmund Freud's Civilisation and its Discontents (english version, opening paragraph)
• Nietzsche's Also Sprach Zarathustra (in german)

Enjoy!

Also, I am thinking of moving.. either someplace else in Squirrel Hill, or maybe, just maybe, somewhere else in pittsburgh. Motivation: Save money, reduce unused space. Musts:

• Include all utilities (no elec is still ok)
• free laundry
• Walking distance from CMU
• Permit 2 cats
• Not in a huge building, ground floor highly preferred
• Be in an area friendly to walking places
• Cost me less than $700/month, which is what I'm paying right now

I don't know how seriously I'm looking -- my current place isn't bad, it's just a bit expensive (and big) for one person.
