that sound you hear is the pulse of university village via my finger

Did a lightning-fast errand cruise of the UVillage this morning and what do I find? A new store—Packaging Specialties! I love this store. With lots and lots of gift bag/wrap options, and most fairly cheap, Papyrus now has some serious competition in that category! Huzzah!

In other news: When your old (factory) car speakers were 15 watts each, and you get new ones, and the ones in the front are 100w max, and in the back 220w max, and you also get a phat new iPod-friendly stereo, IT IS EASIER TO HEAR ACOUSTIC GUITAR SONGS WHEN TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS!! That upgrade was way overdue, and I’m really enjoying it.
