Well, there's always next year....
Man, did my NaNoWriMo ever crash and burn.... I think I wrote 2,000 whole words before I wandered off and got distracted. ha ha Sucks, because I actually was really into it, but November is a busy month for me. I lost five days to a conference in Ann Arbor, and now I'm in the middle of this 1023 IRS form for my co-op, and that's obviously more ( Read more... ) -
School stuff
First week of grad school. I'm so happy to be back in school. It's going to be very challenging (especially as my undergrad degree was less-than-challenging, to be honest), but I'm ready for it ( Read more... ) -

Had a great time during SXSW. John came into town, and we caught lots of shows. The rock scene was kind of shitty this year, so we mostly watched hip hop shows, specifically underground LA hip hop from the Good Life Cafe, Freestyle Fellowship, Project Blowed, etc: busdriver, Myka 9, Abstract Rude, Pigeon John, and 2Mex. It was so much fun. They ( Read more... ) -
What a douchebag.
I HATE this motherfucker. Molly Ivins is right -- abortion is wasted on the unborn. I've never seen a guy screaming so hard to be aborted. ha ha What a motherfucking douchebag.
