Like Alanis once recommended:

I may have bitten off more than I can chew.

I'm writing a review for Beyonce Knowles' new album while listening to her album. After hearing it three times through I can say I've had enough.

It's good. But, again. I've had enough.

I've got a Paul Simon record to review and a column (called Celebunamics) to write. It's more like a concept column, since it has to be approved by the editor in chief of the newspaper.

I've still got two stories to critique in my fiction class and a short story to write.

And I've got about 3 books I've stolen (and 3 more I've bought) from Barnes & Noble that I've yet to read! They are as follows:

IV (Chuck Klosterman)
Branded (Alissa Quart)
The Namesake (Jhumpa Lahiri)
Media Virus (Douglas Rushkoff)
Eleanor Rigby (Douglas Coupland)

And my eyes hurt like pixels have set up camp in my retinas. There are digital protests going on inside of my irises. There are computerized wars saying: "give me JPEG or give me death."

CDs added to my collection as of today

The White Stripes (De Stijl)
Sade (Love Deluxe)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers (Californication)
Beyonce (B'day)
Paul Simon (Surprise)
Sohpie B Hawkins (Tongues and Tails)
Sophie B Hawkins (Timbre)
Annie Lenox (Diva)
Jesus & Mary Chain (Honey's Dead)
Kid 606 (Down With the Scene)

Tomorrow I'm buying another White Stripes album. When I listen to them I feel like I'm in a musical time warp.

Insight of the day:

You know how on AOL if you're away AOL has this thing called "IM catcher?"

Well in about 10 (maybe 5 years) AOL'l have this new thing out called: "IDEA catcher"

So whenever you think of an idea, you'll instead be left with this vapid nothing feeling in your head.

Outcome:

AOL claims hegemony over intellectual growth. Amer--wait. Intellectual growth. America?

Oh my jesus fuck, I think AOL's IDEA catcher is already functioning.

My eyes can't even believe I'm forcing them to read what I'm typing right now.
