Gonna walk the Earth...
like Caine in Kung Fu. Especially since I found all three seasons of history's greatest television show for sale at Borders this afternoon. I only got season one, but that should tide me over until next month, when I procure season two. Spend a little of the allowance each month to bring a little Eastern mysticism into my life. Man, I love that ( Read more... ) -
Can I lick your forehead?
Ah, the joys of summer. Somewhere, kids are playing baseball in an abandoned lot, pretending to be Sandy Koufax or Harmon Killebrew. Lemonade stands are popping up across America, teaching financial lessons to the next generation of venture capitalists and their exploited working-class employees.

My struggle
We gave up cable a little over two months ago, my protest against the sapping effect of television on the American psyche. We no longer know how to entertain ourselves without the flashing bright lights of vapid broadcast. I figured B would fight the hardest against this, as she had a vast number of shows....Lost, Grey's Anatomy, etc. Ironically ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I missed my chance to do a good deed tonight. I was walking down the block to Cafe Diem to meet knittykittycook for a cup of coffee when a young woman with a guitar asked me if I could spare a couple of bucks so that she could get something to eat.

Random Musings of an adalpated mind

I've done what I could do to take advantage of this gorgeous weather. Last Tuesday I spent a good deal of the afternoon at Ledges, hiking the Lost Lake ( Read more... ) -
Summertime at last!
Exams are graded, the grades are turned in, and I am on vacation for the next six days. Nothing to do except read for fun, work out, and just exist. Time to make for up all the things I've missed. So what's on the agenda for Quietbluster? Here's a short list, in no specific order ( Read more... ) -
Summer Time Approaches
Well folks, it's all through but for the whining. The final is due on Tuesday, my last paper is due on Friday, and everything else is just a walk in the park. Time for me to figure out how I'm going to spend my summer ( Read more... ) -
Long time, no post
Hello, loyal reader. As you may have noticed, I stepped away from my computer for the past several weeks for really no good reason at all. Nothing really new or exciting going on in my life. And really, there's nothing new and exciting going on right now. So I thought, in my brilliant prowess, I would copy the meme of KnittyKittyCook, just so ( Read more... )
