superbowl
We all agreed that the commercials during the Superbowl all had animal violence as a theme. No wonder PETA was banned from showing their commercials.

gold rush
Currently I'm reading the book "Heyday" by Kurt Andersen. Actually I'm on the last 60 pages of the 620 page book. It is set in 1848 with 4 friends eventually going out to California to build a small community and find gold. Well, it got me thinking about gold. The real worth of gold is not much because it fails to produce anything. Imagine if people had left gold where it was and never pulled it out of the earth. Obviously gold was not first discovered in the California... it had to be worth something for everyone to get there as fast as possible to mine for it. When it was discovered how was it determined that it had a worth. Funny how that works in perspective.

funky sunday
The possible things to do today are watch movies or read. Kind of a weird feeling to have this much free time. Hardly know what to do. Just decided to go for a walk and get a few things from the grocery store. I think trying to relax and enjoy it is key.

calories

I am totally annoyed with the calorie count on restaurant menus. Today I went to Starbucks to use my free drink coupon from Christmas. I actually read the the stupid calorie count for a yummy in my tummy Caramel Macchiato... total of 240 calories. Bastards! Now I actually know how bad it is. I would have to do a ton of extra walking and less eating for the rest of the day to drink that 240 lovely and tasty calories. I hate calories!! They ruin all the fun and joy of life.

subway ads
On the subway, there are these ads I just don't understand. The text is that if you spend $100 on transit, you'll get $10 bucks back. And then the next line I find very sarcastic. One has a picture of a guy in a suit with bicycle and helmet on. I first thought this was some kind of jab at the MTA. The ads are repeated throughout the subway car and only one says the whole story. It is a promo from bank of America. Making all the more confusing.

random
I wish that every Chinese restaurant made pork dumplings like the spot in my neighborhood. Cause when I'm at the office, I crave good pork dumplings.
Thumb rings on a guy are pretty hot.
Free donuts and coffee on a Monday morning makes life good again. Even made me forget that completely crap train ride to work.
Yesterday I enjoyed my day in bed watching movies with the cats napping. We have to conserve energy.
This pork lo mein isn't cutting it for lunch.

lyrics
I was chatting with a friend about music and I admitted that I can't hear lyrics in most songs. I can hear the melody and rhythum generally. Even when I'm talking to people I almost have to read lips to get what they are saying. I really envy those that can hear all the words in a song. I bet some songs make more sense if you know the words. Singing along also is better if you know the words. Thank goodness for the internet. If I know like 2 or 3 words of a song, at least I can find the song. Also I love music videos... can put a whole new light on the song. And now with the a new iPhone app I can see the lyrics to the song playing on my iPod. How cool is that!? Yeah, I've used it once and then never again. Sometimes it best to just mumble the words and get the melody right.

waiting
In class now, listening to the professor lecture about user interface. Thankfully he keeps switching to CNN.com for the latest reaults. Doesn't seem like it will be a close race, but it is still possible. Now we wait for the polls to close.
my tuesday, my vote
At the moment I'm standing in a fairly long line. It's grown down to the end of the block since I got here. Guess I should have woke up like an hour ago. Quite a few people are taking pictures of the line. It does kind of feel historic.
