I spent the twenty-four of the last seventy-two hours driving. Actually, if you count the fact that I’d just gotten off work, it would be thirty-four out of eighty-two hours. My friends, that’s enough to give anyone a cramp in their ass. The reason for such insanity? Well, my great grandmother just had her one-hundredth birthday, and I had to drive down to Turlock, California. Since you’ve probably never heard…

I’m not lazy, really. I’ve just been busy again. And trying to grab sleep where I can. I got a new job you see, and I… well, I’ll start at the beginning. Last week was finals week, and though I didn’t have any true finals – I just lucked out that way – I did have five pages of essay to revise. Of course I picked my worst possible essay,…
Booze Cruise
It was a Thursday, around one thirty in the afternoon, and I was taking an opportunity to indulge in my most prominent vice – beer. There were only two other people in the bar, both of them regulars.

In my head: Decomposing composers – Monty Python
So, I’ve decided to start doing little mini-reviews (or half-assed reviews, as I’m referring to them) of the movies I see. I’ve done four so far, and you can read them here.
In my head: Peace Train – 10,000 Maniacs

He says that if you like recite it all it’ll be like a report and if you get like an A you’ll like get an A on the report.” “So are you gonna do it?” “Oh my God have you read like the Tall…
In my head: A Little Less Conversation – Elvis (JXL Remix)
You know what I really hate? The way my fingers smell after I floss. Yeah, I’m sure you really wanted to know that, but it’s true. It just grosses me the hell out. And it’s not like I don’t floss very often, I do it every day. You’d think that after a while it would be so sparkly clean in there that the scent I could reap from it would smell…
In my head: Chinatown – Hot Club of Cowtown
I guess the logical place to start is with my dissatisfaction of my current blogging setup. I’m obviously a control freak, and I just don’t like the idea that I have to rely on outside sources for both the blog engine itself, and the commenting software (which is the biggest problem). I want it all in one tidy location, and I want to have the power. The power to mold and…
