Hi guys.
I just officially submitted my Early Action application to the University of Chicago, and I’m feeling pretty damn good about it, thank you very much. I’m feeling so good, in fact, that I’ve decided to go ahead and post something that…might end up losing us some readers. But that’s okay, because the purpose of [...]
I haven’t updated for awhile, and I’ve meant to update, really I have, but unfortunately…well, Nethack got in the way. Leila is on some crazy Wizard run where she’s skipping around the deepest reaches of the dungeon, encountering one and a half liches and master mind flayers around every corner. I’ve been doing my best [...]
Remember that cover of Black Cadillacs that I said I might do? Well…there it is. I’m not exactly thrilled with it, but given my equipment (Kodak Easyshare + Baby Taylor sorely in need of a neck adjustment), I could have done a lot worse. Dynamics weren’t what I would have liked them to be, [...]
Friday was the worst day I’ve had in a long, long time.
The root, the impetus of all of this messiness came from a common problem for me. I get flustered at cash registers. I’ll admit it, I do. I have some sort of complex where I am disgustingly deferential to authority (which, somehow, I unconsciously [...]
I’ll be frank with all of you: I’m not here to make an actual post. Blogging is, for me, a digitized amalgamation of life’s little mundanities, but unfortunately current issues are altogether too important to spend my time rambling about here — at least until they’re somewhat over with, anyway. But we’ve been a little [...]
There seems to be rash of matronly women who want to view me as some sort of affectionately unrelated grandson. I’m not really sure what has spurred Dorreen the cleaning woman and what’sherface the dining hall ID scanner to regularly address me as “kiddo”, but I’ve been idly wondering about it for a few weeks [...]
Well, the downtime was slightly unnerving and both of us were getting pretty twitchy about it, but everything seems to be in fine fettle. The comments on Seth’s last entry were lost as well as my entire “Babyjuice” post (which, thanks to LJ crossposting, still exists after all), but nothing major was lost. I’d like [...]
Hell, I even went through a phase where I believed that (I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone was a hidden jewel of “fuck you I’m going to do what I want” in the vein of Tom Petty’s I Won’t Back Down.
Not your steppin’ Stone! Not. Your. Steppin’. Stone.
(AH-ah-AH-ah-Ahhh.)
Listening to it again, I’m not sure I’m entirely [...]
…says my calculus professor. I’m not entirely convinced. If I take the natural logarithm of the distance between Leila and me, my calculator (my new one, fans of the old one despair) I get 7.820~ (miles, I assume) which is a much less depressing and manageable number. I could walk that distance if I had [...]
Last night I downloaded FutureSex/LoveSounds, the Timberlake/Timbaland collab that the indie community pounced all over soon after Pitchfork’s 8.1 review1. I know I’m a year late, but I needed time to deny my love for SexyBack (which I still believe was never a natural occurrence, but a result of spending too much time with my [...]
