Pretty clearly, the time off well enjoyed by all never lasts long enough, as depicted by the fact that I'm back to work and school. I'm just glad my return was easy (one test on Monday and I was done). You can all pretty much assume that I didn't update last week because I was busy "enjoying" my spring break. I use quotation marks because in all ( Read more... )

I'm not really gonna go "sci-fi" on y'all, but it's actually kinda what's happening. With my PC very likely on its way to me, I've added to the "welcoming party" by grabbing a new computer chair. It's a nifty little plush number that I've been looking at for a few weeks now. It went on sale for $70 off and I treated it as a sign, and now I'm ( Read more... )

Chances are, anyone who's ever owned money and/or opened a checking account knows how utterly stressful a field trip to the local bank can be. Well, I'm kinda picking up on how they make it a better experience...at least for us guys. So my story BEGINS with my decision to go ahead and order the gaming PC, at Mikey's card's expense. Turns out there ( Read more... )

If it seems like maybe I'm taking this a little hard and "lengthy" you'd be right...but I'm also justified in all this. Granted, I DID find out from a pretty reliable source some of the reasoning behind it all. It doesn't make it RIGHT...but it gives me a more logical and complete idea. I still sure as hell miss having companionship, affection ( Read more... )

That joyous of joyous pseudo-holidays where you're either miserable as fuck, or happy as hell to probably spend an excess of money in the rather likely chance you'll get laid. So what did I do? Got up...enjoyed my day off...went to IHOP with Mikey for lunch, and came home to watch the Simpsons Movie. After having read that, you're probably like, " ( Read more... )

It's true...and a pretty goddamn cool experiment. In case some of you are a little slow to the feed line, we did a Chemistry experiment today that involved using a flame test to see which metallic compounds burned what colors, among other experiments. Turns out Barium has this really awesome pale-greenish flame to it. To be honest, this was ( Read more... )

As you've probably guessed, it's the fourth week of college's ever-draining grasp on me. In reality, tomorrow marks the end of the fourth week academic-wise. You might be wondering how this can at all be considered a gift or some form of sunshine. Well, for those of you who've been loyal to these little installments from the past, the fourth week ( Read more... )

So while it's been a busy week filled (surprisingly) with mostly ups, the most important thing I'd like to mention is that on Saturday, I tested for (and subsequently got) my blue belt! I've got a fancy keychain to commemorate the occasion too. It went pretty damn well I think, except for the part where the chief instructor's dog crapped behind the ( Read more... )

Y'all remember when the Eagles played like shit and Dallas somehow advanced to the playoffs? Well Sunday's game was just the thing I needed to go to work in a good mood. It certainly gives me some ammunition for the more obnoxious Cowpies fans I come into contact with. This was just one of many "looking up" things for me in the past week, the fact ( Read more... )

Well, if you haven't already guessed, I'm back at college...and does it EVER fucking suck. Believe it or not, it's actually a little more bittersweet than usual. Turns out we actually get spring break this year (but at the cost of a week we normally get off in the summer), and my Algebra class is only an hour and fifteen minutes long. The ironic ( Read more... )
