It is 4:00am and I am wide awake. I really, really shouldn't be awake still, but there it is. I'm not really sure what happened. I went to bed at 10:30 because I had a long day at work and by 2:00am I was downloading music off iTunes just to pass the time.

Incidentally, the soundtrack to "the darjeeling limited" is a mix of really good songs and strange acoustics.

Yep, only another 2 hours and 36 minutes before my alarm goes off. If I didn't have a lot to do at work tomorrow (today?) I would just give up and go do something...

I know this is completely random, but I learned something funny today; the history of the word "silhouette". I was looking up how to spell the word when I learned that it is actually named after someone. A silhouette is a solid, usually black outline of an image (think iPod commercials). It became really popular during the 18th century when newspapers realized they could reduce printing costs by using them. Anyway, the word it self is actually the last name of Étienne de Silhouette, a man SO cheap and stingy that the French wanted him forever associated with cheap imagery. Kind of a rough deal if you ask me. I guess being the finance minister to Louis XV is a pretty thankless job.
