new features

i have been a busy bee today. as you can see, i have added another sidebar to my blog. so far, i've added some inspiration in the form of daily quotes and a list of my reading material. (keep in mind that some of the things listed will be mandatory reading assignments for my mandatory classes and not what i would otherwise choose for myself if i wasn't a slave to the man.) additionally, you will find a disclaimer that may or may not need its own disclaimer later. in the future, i will add a countdown timer in case i ever have anything worth anticipating. i will also be adding a list of places where i blurk because, hard as it is to believe, there are some pretty damn smart blogs worth checking out (besides mine.) if you have ideas you'd like to see, have comments on features that are bugging the hell out of you, or just want to make small talk, let me know. also- i'm still working out some kinks so keep the rude ass comments to yourself. remember, i knew nothing about HTML when i started this p.o.s. a couple of months ago so, if you have something ugly to say and until you can do better, go dig a hole and plant yourself.
