oh for the love of a good book...

how many pairs of headphones have i gone through in the past year? i'll tell you. five. five pairs. my latest pair (bought only this past christmas break) broke. completely. my earphones are now unattached from the thing you plug into such and such a device...it's sad. now how am i supposed to sleep? i'll need to get into town and buy another pair, sadly...but that doesn't help me tonight. not when it takes me four hours vs. two hours to fall asleep without music. and that's not even counting the fact that i can't even think about trying to sleep until two in the morning. so, by the time i get to sleep, it'll be about time to wake up again. sad, that. but if i go into town to get another pair of headphones, this means i can stop by the book nook and see if they have that book that i've been wanting and have been too lazy to order off amazon...so...yay for productivity!

on another note: i want a kindle. well, a kindle 2. oh, don't worry; i'm not going to abandon good old-fashioned books. no. i'll just get a kindle copy and a regular copy! see? and now i won't have to keep handling my books until they fall apart. isn't that great? or maybe i'm taking my love of books a little too far... ah well. it's not like i can afford to just get a kindle anyway. so my dreams of multiple copies (BEFORE the first copy falls apart) is relegated to the distant future...

okay. it's late and i should at least pretend i don't have some sort of mild insomnia.

so i went to jury duty on monday. luckily, i didn't get picked...was it because i could barely state my own name (not my fault; my voice kept going in and out due to some idiotic cold makings its rounds about the college)? well, anyway, i would have been a horrible juror. frankly, i thought the case was ridiculous and both parties should be sent home. but, whatever. i got to spend the next couple of days in complete misery...lucky me.

beyond that, nothing much has happened. this semester is a bit tiring, but maybe that's because i started it on a sickly note. and i've got a nice little secret occupying my mind lately. but i'll keep it to myself a bit longer; who knows if my burgeoning plan will pan out?

well, in any case, my nose is going numb...a sure sign that i've not gotten the proper amount of oxygen...so i'll stop here.
