same york

a one-year subscription of Nature (print + online): $199. if you're a student: $79. so much for encouraging the education of the general public. then again you wonder how much of the general public can comprehend the articles.

new yorker: one year (47 issues) for $40. american
the economist: 51 issues for $77 (students)
bon appetit/Gourmet: 24 issues (2 years) for $27.
cook's illustrated: one year (6 issues?!) for $25.
esquire: 24 issues for $12.

if i am going to have free time for 1/2 years, i might as well educated myself, no? would esquire be educational? esquire: man at his best. hmm.

i'm tired. i'll have new material after i wake up. chinese-american food on campus, people slamming doors, and motor control. ugh, i'm reading about neuroscience and visual processing, and somehow they managed to mention drab in the paragraph. how unsettling.

PSH you mean they came up to get punched in the face!

i have an aversion to riding with people in elevators. if i see people going in, i would detour to the right in the apartment complex and check my mail in the hopes that i would actually get a slip in my mailbox alerting me that my package has arrived. i also push the close door button so that the doors close quickly, not allowing anybody else to ride the elevator up to their respective floors.

you need to take an elevator manners class sir. i hate it when people close the doors while you're running for the elevator. sometimes they look at you blankly but don't do anything about it.

have you considered a subscription to any one of the series of 'jdm option' car magazines?

just an idea. it might not help you reach your goal of literacy.

just use a library siu.

also, don't do a whole other year of school... it's really not worth it. i'd recommend working in something related to what you want to do, and perhaps taking a few more classes.
