It's funny how my three favorite sitcoms all feature a main cast of six friends. I'm sure someone can come up with some clever analysis of that. That 70's Show is the current favorite, mostly because there are still more episodes I haven't seen than those I have. Plus I'm developing a crush on Hyde ( Read more... )

I am experiencing a sudden attack of hermititis. Hermititis being the frame of mind in which I hate the idea of having to have any close relationships in my life, ever. Under this condition, I think a tiny apartment in a very large city, with a big dog and a typewriter and no social contacts other than the guy at the newspaper stand, sounds like ( Read more... )

I'm feeling all music-hungry again. So I'm listening to the CD I made last time. And posting snatches of lyrics from it, because I really can't express my mood any better than Brian, Adam, Steven and Ed, Mark, and the like.
Surefire bets and certainties, they drift away like smoke ( Read more... )

So I went through my old stories last night so I could back up the most important ones via email. And then I thought, Hey, I said I'd put some story fragments on here, maybe this is a good time. 'Specially since I can't think of anything else I wanted to put in this update. So here's something I started working on several years ago... matter of ( Read more... )

I must confess, I do love intense, dramatic music. I just made me another CD (tolja), mostly of songs from musicals and the like. It's Volume II in the Authorized Road Trip Collection, which I've been planning for about a month and will hopefully have done by spring break. It will have either four or five volumes, each appropriate to the mood at ( Read more... )

Good friends are so amazing. I just had a wonderful visit with Leah. I love how, in a really good friendship, you can commune on all levels, from the utterly nonsensical and silly to the deep and painful issues you both face. It is not good for man to be alone (can't remember who said that, but someone pretty wise I'm sure)... and conversely, it is ( Read more... )

Stepping out of my building this morning was rather odd. Apparently it was deemed necessary to give nature a lacquer finish this morning... everything, and I mean everything, was coated in a half-inch layer of ice. It was really pretty. To quote Ancient Myth for the second day in the row, a beautiful bane ( Read more... )

Leah mentioned Oglethorpe Synchronicity in her latest entry, which reminded me... this semester it is present in an unusually potent form. First of all, both my "real" classes (the Photography class being, for me, more like a hobby-for-credit) have talked extensively about Daedalus, the ancient Greek architect/artisan. In one class we're looking at ( Read more... )
