T-minus 38 hours until liftoff. I’m so tired I can’t think straight and yet I still have tons and tons of stuff to do. I know, boo fuckin’ hoo, poor widdle baby has to go on an insanely amazing trip. Like I said before: I love to travel, but I fucking HATE preparing for it. ...

Anthony Williams is the mayor of Washington, DC. He looks like this (though the lighting in this shot is making him look a bit Vader-ish): I thought Anthony Williams was the dippiest-looking mayor I’d ever live under.

These guys have got to learn that you need to use non-live things when pulling Senior Prank. Like my class: We got hold of 25 tons of marshmallows, and blocked the whole front porch of the school off with them, three feet deep. Although they’re still better than the class before us at my school. ...

After working a 15 hour day, I didn’t check the traffic on my route home because it was already 9, past even the point of Los Angeles rush hour. Of course, this is the one time where there was a massive accident after 9 on the 405, and I got stuck in entirely non-moving traffic ...

The fire alarm in my building went off for the first time since I moved in almost two years ago at 1am this morning. Since nobody ever fucks around with it, I figured it was real, so I scooped up the cat, put him in the carrier, and ran, heart pounding, outside. Where I was ...
