update:
this week i've made significant progress in getting caught up with things; i've cleaned a hugely significant portion of my van, accomplished a huge deal of progress in my bedroom, the daily show and the colbert report have been my favorite daily tv shows, lucky louie on hbo this week was hilarious, innocent people are being bombed to death and injured horribly by bombs in Lebanon for bullshit reasons, making progress on the music/dj aspect of my life, talked to a couple ex-girlfriends in far away places, did laundry, helped my dad's friend's family with their computer three nights in a row, paid some bills, read a lot, and basically took it easy after the long weekend i had this past one up in Austin DJing for Chris & Ross' birthday parties (that was craaazy) (boobies! haha).
