I had paid off most of my tuition earlier this month and hoped that a bursary would float in and take care of the rest. But nothing took care of nothing, so today I went in to pay the rest of it off. I slid my debit card over to the secretary and said, "stick it all on there."
She said, "but you have credit. Would you like a check for seven-hundred and sixty dollars?"
"Sure," I said.
"Okay then it will be ready for you on Friday."
So I went and ate pizza. And now I feel like buying the bestest Sabian crash cymbal there is so I can bash it.
Also rehearsed with S.L. tonight. I've decided to keep names off the chart. The lead singer googled the band name and my blog popped up. Google is our enemy. We're all on it. It's an evidence book. But the jam went very well. I developed a beat that I'm rather pleased with, and there's more cohesion in what we do. Also rehearsed with the lights out. Very fun. We've decided to meet at the bowling alley's cocktail lounge and take it from there.
Next I have to research a website for this fun movie project I'm working on. Either that or re-work the rest of a poem about sex therapists. We'll see.
Posted by matty-b at February 5, 2004 1:45 AMCongratulations. I'll look into a way to keep google away from your blog if you'd like. I don't think it's too hard, I just haven't tried yet.
Still working on getting a spell checker too.
Posted by: michael at February 5, 2004 12:02 PMYou're meeting at bowling alley without us? You're going to have a very small pitcher or three of long island iced tea without us? You're going to eat all-brown appetizers without us?

Posted by: matt at February 6, 2004 11:24 AMMichael -- A non-Googling page would be awesome! I'll buy you a glass of Merlot at the Grad Lounge.
Posted by: matt at February 6, 2004 11:26 AMWhy the heck wouldn't you want to be on Google?
Posted by: Tweek at February 6, 2004 5:56 PMSometimes privacy is a good thing.
Posted by: michael at February 7, 2004 11:16 AMI don't know. Everybody likes google, and that's what scares me.
Posted by: matt at February 8, 2004 5:47 PMMaybe you should consider Google's feelings. Maybe Google just wants people to like it.
Posted by: ben at February 8, 2004 11:16 PMBen, very true. But it's not Google persay that I'm against. I'm flattered that there's something like Google who's out there making friends with almost everybody, but who's behind Google?
Posted by: matt at February 9, 2004 10:23 AMMichael: I'd say if it's privacy you crave, posting your thoughts on the Internet is probably not a good idea :)
Although, the idea of having a website that's not listed in a search engine is intriguing...
The answer to keeping Google (and other search engines) away from your page is to create a robots.txt file... check out www.robotstxt.org
