So. Kids love tearing sheets out of their notebooks without a moments notice and pretend to be Michael or Kobe and throw them across the room into the trashcan. It's kind of the biggest problem I have here at school.

Also, Man I'm so loving the switch from 30gb iPod to 4gb iPod Nano. Limiting your musical selection is so refreshing. And, in a sense, very Blip-like. Putting artificial restrictions on your entertainment or creativity - and just limiting the glut of information we are constantly having thrown at us is incredibly liberating.

This tears me up, because I would never want to return to a pre-Mp3 world, where our musical selections would be limited to a) what was available in our local stores b) what our wallets could afford to buy expensive physical media. But, having 20,000 songs in your pocket doesn't make you appreciate any of them any bit more, at all.
