My roommate knows me too well. I left to go to the bar last night, with a side-track to see a bike for sale. He knew I wasn't just going to look. He spent lst weekend wiring new lights onto his Jeep, and I got very jealous. Restless. I haven't touched an IC engine in the eight years since I left school. Not even to change my own oil. But I ( Read more... )

Wow. Y'all should have been at Jon Brion Friday night. Well, except for Jeanette, because she was there, and more aware than I was. And of course Jeanette's friend Z, who showed up with a couple friends and some excellent baked goods. The second set was totally amazing, with some folks including an older pianist, an excellent fiddle player who ( Read more... )

So I was selected as an alternate for this prestigious fellowship at school. Better than a kick in the head, I guess. As long as I keep my internship, or find a new one for the summer, they'll consider me a Fellow. But, of course, the whole point of the fellowship is to place them in these internships, which are hard as hell to find. So ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm going to Vega$ this week. When I get back, anyone want to get together at my place and play a little poker? Julia's idea.

I just got the internship of my dreams. As it was happening, I felt like I was somewhere else, reading it in a book, because nifty stuff like this just doesn't happen to me. My last (and only) job was at a company where everything takes forever to finalize, and when this guy told me at the end of our interview that it was mine, I was stunned. So ( Read more... )

Halo 2 is cool. I suck at it, as I do all first person shooter games, but they're fun to play with friends.

So, friends, Halo 2 at my place, 9:30pm 'til who knows?

My Econ prof has an online dating profile that's been making the rounds. (He likes Aqua Teen Hunger Force...) At the moment, he isn't my favorite person, what with his midterm in a few hours and him not teaching us anything so far this term, but insisting on testing us on it anyway. But I digress. I feel for the guy, because he's a bit of an ( Read more... )

Wheneber I get thick (I hab a code), someone asks me why I don't take any medicine. I usually give some bullshit about not beleiving in it, or some macho answer making much of my indifference to pain and discomfort. Truth is, though, that pain hurts, and discomfort isn't really all that pleasant. I'm just allergic to cough syrup. Or at least it ( Read more... )

So I had my outfit ripped off me by a scantily clad beautiful young woman last night.

Unfortunately, it was my (paper) Halloween costume. Shame, nobody even knew who Master Shake was.

I managed to play Ultimate Frisbee for a few hours with no break, barefoot, while totally out of shape, without injury. Then I went and played beer pong with a 5 year old and turned my ankle. God's wrath for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, no doubt, even though the kid wasn't drinking the beer. And now I've got the cold that's been ( Read more... )
