Right so I was gonna write every day.  Oops.  Here's some crap I've been thinking about, pretty badly organized.

Okay so yesterday I finally watched Juno.  I've known it was worth watching mostly because my mom liked it, and she's really critical of movies.  I gotta say, the pop culture references and snappy repartee was pretty heavy (sometimes the ( Read more... )

So Google released this thing which lets you broadcast your current geographical position at all times (provided you're using Google maps on your smart phone).  It's called Google Latitude Everyone is all ambivalent (or even upset) about this, but I think we just need to figure out when it's good to use this sort of thing.   Like when you want ( Read more... )

I find myself plagued by a mild anxiety, but I also sense it slowly slipping away.

I think everything is gonna be alright.

Okay, so among other things, I'm going to use my large amount of free time to combat my fear of, or at least distaste for, writing. I'm going to try every day to write about something interesting that comes to mind. Largely this will consist of responses to books I'm reading, and my endless quest to define and become a modern man of the world. ( Read more... )

So I haven't posted in a long time, but now I've got all this free time, so I might as well start journaling again.

I'm seriously considering moving away from LJ, especially since there are stories like this, which seem to indicate that things might be drying up here soon.  My main reason to stay is to keep tabs on various people who update every ( Read more... )

So I've neglected my promise to write a little about Seattle. Seattle was lovely, very green and laid-back. I love forests. I really enjoyed hanging out with Eva and her husband. We used to have some tension back in high school (which she graduated from seven years ago), and I'm glad that we've both grown up a bit while still remaining cool ( Read more... )

So I was in Seattle (which I'll write more about later), and while chilling in the hotel I watched a little bit of the Wizard of Oz. And I realized that I have the exact problem as the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion, in that I have certain qualities, but I hold myself to such a standard that I think I don't have these qualities. And that's ( Read more... )

O, Internet, why?

Mingle2 - How Sexually Experienced Are You?-84204

How did this quiz end up with a negative number?

I started feeling this "land of opportunity" thing while I was in Silicon Valley this summer, but really, tonight I'm proud to be an American.

So I've grown a beard, and that's occasion to write about my dad.  For the past few years I've written things on his memorial day, but this year I wasn't as inspired, at least until now.

My dad is still my default model of what it means to be a man, in the grown-up sense of the word.  I trimmed my beard last weekend, and now it really does look ( Read more... )
