New Machine, Review
Since it's finished I might as well link it here, I finished the review on my new notebook, it's found on Notebook Forums.

Now that that's written up, I'll start working on some other stuff. More information coming.

Somewhat Neglected
Yeah its been a while since I last updated. I've been containing my impatience while waiting for my new notebook to be built and shipped to me, and then taking it through its hoops. And I got a XBOX 360 and have been spending a lot of my free time playing Dead Rising. I haven't forgotten about this place, just a bit busy. I actually started a few different entries, but wasn't sure how I wanted to complete them, so they're sitting held until I finish typing them up.

Quote of the Day
A prose writer gets tired of writing prose, and wants to be a poet. So he begins every line with a capital letter, and keeps on writing prose.
- Samuel McChord Crothers
Sounds about right.

Something Different (Continued)
The roads forced him down a new path
A path he didn't normally travel
Yet,
As he went along the road, something was familiar.
He knew that building there
He knew that curve ahead
The vague memory of the path, but with no explanation
As he passed under a bridge
It all came back to him.
A path from the past
A road often traveled before
A flood of memories entered him
Things could have been different,
He hadn't pursued the paths that opened to him.
The girl he had grown close to then...
He shook his head
He could not change things from here
And that path was gone forever
The road took him back to his normal path
And he left the memories at the corner
That path
Was possibly better not traveled, he realized
It's ending
May not have been in his favor

Typing Gloves
Since apparently a lot of people hit my site this month for search results varying on the theme of my typing with gloves, I guess I'll go into them. There's not much too them, though, they're just simple knit gloves I got from Wal-mart last winter for driving and operating in the snow, because I wanted something thin so I could feel most of everything still while I was doing things, not cutting off the feeling going to my fingers completely like leather gloves would. They're thin, black knit gloves, and they were seriously only $2 at Wal-mart (funny anecdote, I don't carry cash with me so I was putting the purchase on my debit card, it was somewhere close to Christmas and the cashier joked that if I was putting that on a credit card she would just pay for them herself, because she thought that was a seriously ridiculous thing to put on a credit card).
I have to slow down a little bit when I'm typing so I don't fat finger the keys, but for the most part it's pretty easy to type with them on. I get funny looks occasionally though from coworkers or superiors that are in slightly different parts of the room that don't nearly get as cold as it does at my desk when I have them on.
