School. Its For Learning. About One Night Stands.
My Construction of Personal Identify (yes that is a class) professor is a fantastic woman. Talk about someone who really understands and embraces her craft. I wish I had taken classes with her before my senior year.
As you may have guessed, Construction of Personal Identify is a class that is all about how your identity is created. Its kind of like a Theories of Personality class on drugs. (Or...

*Cinema -- The Departed
I’ve seen plenty of Leonardo DiCaprio’s movies, but this is the first time I really appreciated his acting. I still think if there is any movie he should win the best actor Oscar for, this was it.
Although Jack Nickelson played a great villain, I actually think Matt Damon really stole the show in the villain department. Just as he did in The Talented Mr. Ripley, Damon plays a really...

*Mephisto-Fu -- Pretty Admin
Mephisto pretty much has the best designed CMS admin I’ve ever seen, but when I first saw SimpleLog’s new color scheme I fell in love, and had to give Mephisto’s admin a (tiny) makeover.
In other news…
Apple is going to fix my Macbook Pro for free! Yay! They’re also going to do it in-store, so it should only take a couple of days. They seem to think it is...

Progress
So I have officially moved to Mephisto! I have pretty much fallen in love with it as CMS. Here are a few reasons why…
As I previously mentioned, Mephisto has sections. In my head, I kind of consider Mephisto a rails-based better TextPattern. Mephisto’s sections are like super-customizable categories, but better.
Liquid Templates are actually extremely flexible. Compared to a...

Apologizing In Advance For *The Btichy*
I haven’t been writing here because I already converted my old entries to Mephisto and thought I was switching over asap. Hopefully next week sometime.
Now on to some bitching (mostly)…
I might be bringing my Macbook Pro to the Apple Store tomorrow, and they might take it to fix it. My cat accidently flipped my computer off my desk a couple weeks ago, and while it still works...

The Only Way Out is to Go So Far In
Yesterday I handed one of my professors a grad school recommendation form. She actually told me she was “worried about me” when she realized I was just applying for a masters instead of a doctorate. She told me I have to figure out what it is I want to do. I told her I just want to move out of my house.
The worst part is I’m trying to just write a personal statement for...

The Sad Tale of my Battery
… Or, another reason for my Apple love.
So last saturday I was writing a paper on my bed and my laptop randomly shut down. It has been randomly shutting down regularly while running on the battery for the past week. Unfortunately my battery was not eligible for the battery-recall exchange type thing. So I called Apple support yesterday morning and the guy was nice enough to offer me a...

A Quick List About My Week
This was my first week of class, so it has been busy.
I’m taking a Psychology in Film class as my senior seminar. Its tougher than it sounds.
The professor of my film class has a lisp.
I was actually twenty minutes late for my film class this week. I was feeling sick after dinner, and couldn’t handle driving. So that was my professor with a lisp’s first impression of me....
