So normally, I like to have my eggs fried. I'll keep the yolk whole and fry them with black pepper and salt and eat them with toast. I've gotten pretty good at dropping two eggs in the pan, letting them fry until the one side is cooked, flipping them in the air and frying the other side but leaving the yolk uncooked so I can soak it up with my ( Read more... )

I have a tendency to assume that people always have someone better to talk to than me, so it usually takes a seriously direct statement to get me to get involved in your personal stuff ( Read more... )

I built my first computer last night and I'm using it right now to update my livejournal. Awesome. Now I have to go to class and leave it alone until the weekend.

So, I don't have a whole lot going on today. But tomorrow, the rest of the parts for my computer arrive. I am really excited about finally building this thing. I've been waiting on it for about 5 months now. Humorously, I have too much work to do for Wednesday to trust myself in the same building with all the parts unassembled. So, I'll be at ( Read more... )

So I got this ipod last year to keep me sane while I was out in the middle of nowhere with a team of 8 people. It did the job and I had music up in the mountains of Colorado and in the volunteer shelter in Baton Rouge. My warranty ended at the end of February and my ipod stopped working yesterday. All in all I definitely got my money's worth out ( Read more... )

So my free time has basically been spent playing quadradius (www.quadradius.com). It's a pretty cool little game my friend Travis showed me. However, the majority of my time is spent reading.

This is something my cousin did for McSweeney's magazine. It's awesome. You should all totally check it out.

It's 5:30am and I have been up for about 2 hours now. I went out for a high school basketball game with Kristin last night to see some of her students play. They're really good! It was a pretty cool experience being in the stands with all the families and fellow students of the kids on the court. Our team won, which means that they're now the ( Read more... )

So, on Saturday the cable guy finally came to my apartment and gave me internet access. I say it's about freakin' time. I'd been stood up 3 times before he actually showed up. So, at least I can go online now and look at all the internet people and go, "ooohh ( Read more... )

My current reading list includes To Kill a Mockingbird, Candide, selected poetry, and some articles on social movements. For fun I'm reading A Feast for Crows, finally. It's taken a long freakin' time to reaquaint myself with the world of Westeros, but I've finally finished listening to the audio versions of the first three books. So now, on to ( Read more... )
