Is it wrong to lust for a piece of metal?

So I saw Steve's iPod the other day. I now renounce my abstination from the iPod brand. I want an iPod video, it's so freaking sexy. Now I don't want to give you the wrong impression, it's not like I'd stick a newly accquired iPod video in my pants. I would put the better half of my movie and anime collection on it, enjoy it, savor it, and *then* stick it in my pants. Possibly. Just one more reason why I should get a job next semester instead of taking physics.

I got a new cd this weekend. A really good recording of the London Symphony Orchesra performing Dvorak's symphony no.9. It's shit hot. I'm listening to it for the fourth time, and I still consider it 45 minutes of pure unadulterated joy.

We did an in-class assignment with The Raven by Poe today. I was reminded why I consider The Raven to be the greatest piece of poetry ever. Every time I read it I think to myself that this is what poetry should be. But the darndable thing about it is that someone may ask why it is good, and to which I must reply, "I have no freaking clue". It just is. People will state all sorts of technical reasons, but I think it just boils down to the fact that Poe was a genius and a lot of other "poets" are absolute hacks.

Now the time has come for me to take my leave and go back to ~~Final Fantasy~~ homework.
