I'm the type of person who saves on lunch money ($1.25 for right-enough tomato pizza), but then goes on to blow it all on some big relatively unnecessary spending ($90 on headphones - which I acknowledged to buy before entering the shop... I don't know if it was a good sign the salesperson reduced the price by $10 despite that I was basically sold?). I also spent 80-something on the books aforementioned, one of which is available online, for free, through my channels.

I will ask my mother to get me ten more of those UniQlo tees. Ten for the price of two of similar quality, here in Montreal, Canada, but I don't get to choose by myself. It's a tradeoff I'm... able to live with. XD

I didn't get around the mt-comments.cgi problem yet. Now if I do something as simple as stupid as changing the directory name, and putting a blank page of 0 bytes instead of the old one, would it solve my problem? Sometimes, a Livejournal/Blogger/Xanga/whatever seems so much easier...

Javascript is untempting, b/c it works despite the flagrant lack of standards in the actual use of it. Maybe it's a thing of the past, b/c it really just fairly looks and works like any other object-oriented programming language. Also, AJAX is cool. So, it's fine to try it for loading more than half a page, but it's exactly not for that that it exists.

I bought two books from Amazon today. Not bedside reading: Programming PHP and Ajax In Action, both of which I will probably let sit on bookshelf, desk, to collect dust. No, it's alright actually, but so many books/websites I want/should read - and I am lying to myself flagrantly.
