Three Weeks in Chile: Entry No. 3
Episodes of Prison Break are beginning to take over every last bit of spare time I have. I'm only on the sixth episode of the first season, but I'm already looking ahead.

Welcome to my tragic kingdom.
Till now, I had completely forgotten that December has 31 days.
With this realization, I took in the biggest sigh of relief, till I realized I was inhaling the chilled but still potent stench of cat excrement, with a tint of stale kitty litter.

What I have to say: The album is good. The album is solid. However, the album is not great.
The album is good because on an individual level, the songs caugt my attention, kept me intrigued enough to continue listening. "Quicksand" was an introduction that I ( Read more... ) -
Start the two-way monologue, speak your mind.
Black Friday awaits, and for once, I'll actually be be partaking in the festivities. Whether it is because of my excitement, or because my 13-year-old cousin is still playing Halo in the same room, I just can't seem to repress thoughts of shopping any longer. ( * ) -

Purging a bunch of my old entries tonight.
Possibly replacing them with some ethics memos and other papers I have written for my journalism classes. I know most of you probably aren't interested, but for those of you who possibly are, I would love to get some feedback. My professors are actually being extremely lenient. Come on, Johnson and Glass. ( Read more... ) -
