I need to get new earplugs. I initially got them because the Smashing Pumpkins nearly deafened me on the Adore tour. I had great seats, but it was at Constitution Hall in DC, which has the most atrocious acoustics I’ve heard, ever. They had the subwoofers (low frequency, like the bass) jacked way up, and ...

these wouldn’t post last night because the server was being a pain. enjoy!

So I mopped the kitchen and the bathroom in my apartment today. The entire apartment smelled like Jewel-brand Pine Cleaner for several hours after I finished. To an alien arriving on the planet Earth, this would seem like an odd phenomenon: “So let me get this straight. You’re going to take your living space, which ...

I went to White Hen on the way back from a midnight IHOP run for the second time in about a month, and for the second time in about a month, White Hen was closed for cleaning. Employees were shooing people away, even as I looked down the door to the sign that says “Open ...

It has occured to me that either the TA or the prof of my News and New Media course may get bored with reading fake AP stories and click on my weblog link when they hit my index page, and thereby end up reading my last post, thereby leading them to strongly consider failing me ...

Beware these words when they come out of a professor’s mouth. They THINK they’re making things easier for you, but nine times out of ten, they’re making your life more difficult.
