It's another one of those posts where I simply update what's been going on lately. There's not been much to talk about, really. The gist of it is that I've pushed work aside and have been much, much too lazy.

I started up World of Warcraft again, and I'm having more fun this time around. What I need to control there is how many hours I spend ( Read more... )

It's worth mentioning that if you're alone for a long time, eventually you begin to realize the depths of loneliness. It's a given, right? Alone and loneliness, I mean. For years I've maintained that no matter how alone I get, I'm always just fine, because I enjoy being by myself. That's still true, to an extent. I love time by myself when I can ( Read more... )

No, this entry isn't about what you think, based on the title. I wanted to write about this last night, but it was late and I had class today. Now I've got time.

When I was driving home last night, I didn't want it to end. Trust me, I love driving, but at some point I do want it to end. No, last night was different. Last night was magical. I was ( Read more... )

The Arkansas Razorbacks lost again. It seems like nearly every football game we play, we find new and interesting ways to lose. It's almost never a big play that kills us; it's the little mistakes we make. The Hogs have a couple of super-talented running backs in Darren McFadden and Felix Jones, but not much else behind them. Casey Dick is a straw ( Read more... )

So I've been playing Pokemon: Battle Revolution on the Wii, and I'm loving it. Been hooked on Pokemon for a while now, and I think most of you saw it coming. I beat the game's top Pokemon trainer tonight. Now I'm going to look forward to earning bonus points for items, while also staging impressive online battles with my Pokemon. Oh, and that means ( Read more... )

It's always nice to hang out with friends. Last night we finished up the second season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's an absolutely terrific show, one I can really get behind. Can't wait for season three ( Read more... )

Turns out I was wrong when I thought I had meeting times figured out for my classes. All of my classes this semester will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So those days will be real busy. I figure Wednesday being a sort of "sandwich" day will mean lots of homework. And of course, I shouldn't slack off on Mondays and Fridays, either. Right now I like ( Read more... )

I'd somehow managed to forget over the past six months how profoundly dull and boring it can be working the night shift at the newspaper. I'm here to answer the phone, primarily. An occasional call will come in, but it's never anything substantial. Oh well, at least I have Puzzle Quest. Currently, I'm working on both a Druid and a Knight. I'd ( Read more... )

I finished up my last day at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette today. Well, for all intents and purposes it was my last day. I'll be working weekends part-time, but since there's no indication of how long that will last -- and because most folks won't see me on weekends -- it's basically the end for me ( Read more... )

Guess who's going back to college?

I'm declaring as a professional writing major at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock for a second undergraduate degree. Upon realizing that gaining admission to the graduate program for rhetoric and writing was mostly dependent on raising my GPA, I opted to take classes. However, I've got to take -- and ace ( Read more... )
