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,…

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. They sat in their usual seats, drinking their usual drinks, and chain smoking cigarettes at twenty-five cents a pop. Between just the two of them, they’d managed to fill the bar with…
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: 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…
In my head: Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) – Journey
So, did you ever really want to write a blog, and then just not have time because you were up until one in the morning doing homework and had class the next day so you couldn’t write it afterwards, and then, by the time you got an opportunity to write it you’d had three other good blogs come and go in your head as well? Come on, someone else must’ve…
