My landlords are selling the building and trying to create a TIC. Kinda like converting the building to condos. Yelena and I realized after about 15 minutes last night that we don't have enough money to buy our apartment as a TIC.

Actually, we don't HAVE to move in two weeks. We could choose to stay longer, until it's convenient for us. Namely, the end of the school year. But, we have spring break in two weeks so that's as good a time as any. The only problem is Yelena is busy preparing for finals and I have my damn brief, this isn't a good time to go apartment hunting.

This doesn't really explain why Russians are so damn weird.  Really it just proves that they are.  As if we needed more evidence.

You know, those things where you put pictures of your family. My wallet insert was falling apart and it was a pain in the ass. Every time I opened my wallet my ID fell out. You know how hard those things are to find? It's ridiculous. I went to Office Max, Office Depot, Safeway, Ross, and two Walmarts before I found one. But ah, it looks so nice . . .

Yeah, I'm easy to please.

This was very interesting to me as I was 2/3 through my brief at 4 am.  Especially when I found a can of Red Bull in the back of the fridge.

Can you tell I use my blog as a procrastination tool?

KDE and Gnome are two GUIs for linux. Unlike Mac and Windows, which only offer one interface each, linux is flexible and allows you to pick the interface you want. There are dozens from which to choose, and the two most popular are KDE and Gnome. KDE is more like Windows; businesslike and professional. I would say Gnome is more like Mac OS, more friendly and playful, but the truth is Gnome isn't really like Mac OS; Gnome is like Gnome. It's a little rougher around the edges and doesn't have as much built-in functionality as KDE. It seems more "free." The truth is both interfaces are very powerful and you can do just about anything with either one. Nevertheless, someone has written a hillarious article describing the stylistic differences between the two interfaces.
