Hey gang, I haven’t been doing very much writing of my own yet. The basic plan as of now is to secure one of those “Here’s how to Write X” books, and to go through the exercises and to put them up here and to brainstorm and sift through ideas and settle on something to [...]
Thirteen days ago, but that’s okay. I should probably get on Seth about making an entry at some point, seeing as we seem to have hit one of those phases where only one of us is exclusively updating, and I am pretty much too boring/lack the pseudo-literary flair to keep a blog alive on my [...]
For all its beauty, Wordpress 2.7 is very, very, very slow, and I’m not sure the aesthetics are enough to make up for the 10 seconds (oh, horrors) I have to wait for any given admin page to load. On top of that, the scrolly things on the left don’t even work and I can’t [...]
I’ve been watching too much television lately, and I’ve generally been doing too much of nothing. I think Leila was right when she told me not to bring my television along to college. I’m still mildly addicted to Election coverage, and it’s difficult to concentrate once I have some within my grasp. Maybe once the [...]
ETA: Google circa 2001. No Twitter, no Wikipedia. How ephemeral will these cybercultural landmarks turn out to be in the future?
It’s currently 3:30pm and I am sitting in my computer science class feeling rather unengaged while the computer says, “Tick, tock, tick, tock, BOOM” for a demonstration of conditionals in Python. Introduction to Computing is [...]
I miss Leila both more and less than I thought I would.
When the head of Students for Obama sends you an email saying that the meeting is at 5:30 along with the Young Democrats, and the schedule of events posted throughout the Student Union says it’s at 6:30, listen to the email.
The fact that the [...]
I moved into Bryn Mawr today. The quad is, ah, “cozy” — but everyone I’m rooming with seems nice and I’m hoping to get over my shyness eventually because I think there’s a lot of potential for me to be happier here than I ever was in high school. There was lots of free food [...]
1. I eventually stumble out of bed and make my way to the Great Downstairs, where I’m greeted by this rhythmically groaning lump blanketed on the couch. It turns out that it’s my dad, who somewhat foolishly ate some rancid white fish salad that had been sitting in his car for a day last night. [...]
Leila mentioned this briefly on her livejournal, but I’ll tell everyone: we’ve made a pact to try to write for 30 minutes a day. The writing can be any kind of writing, not necessarily a blog post, but it has to be written and it has to be 30 minutes. I, of course, have been [...]
There’s this guy who lives in my room. I don’t have much longer with this guy, honestly, (out May 9th whooo) so I thought I would get a nice, formulaic, Bitchin’ About My Roommate post out before the windows closes once and for all.
My first impression of the guy was that he seemed, well, [...]
