This has been a long, odd day. Not in any specific way, it just was kind of off and unusual all day. But I should have known what was coming. The first sign of oddness was this morning, when I momentarily found myself trapped in a commercial for the Honda Civic. I was returning equipment ...

Those of you who have been reading this weblog lately have probably noticed that my postings have become increadingly sporadic and incomprehensible. That’s not stopping until finals week (begins June 10), when I can finally lift up my middle finger to all of my classes with pride, for I shall be finished with the Year ...

If you’re going to put chili powder in something, even if you consider it to be not that much, warn people. I was at Big Bowl down on Rush street tonight and I ordered pad thai, which is traditionally a very sweet dish, which is (almost) never spicy. I took a few bites and realized ...

I’m turning into a vampire. Or something. I can’t sleep at night anymore, and I’ve therefore been finding it increasingly difficult to stay awake during the day. I end up doing a lot of work in the middle of the night (hence most things on the weblog are posted at about 3am) becuase of class ...

I’m really glad that my tuition money is going to useful studies. Now I think I understand why the Onion sometimes gets letters from people who think that some of their stories are real. Thanks, Northwestern! (thanks to Sarah Wolff for this one)

WARNING: If anyone reading this knows any of my parental units, don’t tell them about any of this (you’ll see why below). I should state that none of these various parental units read (or even know about) the weblog, at least not to my knowledge. And if they do, they shouldn’t tell me they do, ...

Yes, despite the fact that I didn’t manage to drag my lazy ass out of bed until 3pm, I actually managed to accomplish a few things today. I: * Managed to catch up on my reading for my upcoming Gender And Society test. Don’t ask me what it says, I’m P/Ning the class (i.e. taking ...

Attention passengers, due to work on the tracks, we will not be stopping at the Morse or Jarvis stops. If you wish to get off at either of those stops, alight the train at Howard, and take the southbound Red Line train. I heard this announcement for the second time today. They’re doing a bunch ...
