Public Transportation is Magical

It didn’t take long to figure out that driving to and from work every day clear across town is going to cost me a fortune in fuel, so today I decided to see if the train would be a better option for me. Well it works out great, but that’s not what made the trip [...]

Strip Nation

On my way home from work today, I noticed a guy standing on a street corner prancing around with a sign advertising that a furniture store was going out of business, and that everything was on clearance. I made a mental note to tell anybody I knew that was looking for furniture about the sale [...]

The Simple Things in Life

You know what one of my favorite things EVER is? When you’re talking to somebody on the phone and they get another call, but fail to correctly switch lines and end up talking to you again…but you go along with it anyway. It goes something like this: Me: …and I said “there is NO WAY [...]

Oh, My Precious, Precious OiNK…

This is seriously a big deal to me. I was an OiNK user for years so I’ve been in a bit of a daze since I heard the news. Word is the owner has been released, but I don’t know what sort of legal action is being taken against him. I’m reminded of back in [...]

OiNK is Dead!!!

Worst fucking news I have ever heard in my entire life!!! I’m seriously heartbroken!!! From Canadian press: British, Dutch police close file-sharing website OiNK, arrest its alleged manager LONDON – British and Dutch police shut down what they say is one the world’s biggest online sources of pirated music Tuesday and arrested the website’s 24-year-old [...]

Fear of…Abysses?

Here’s a weird phobia I’ve discovered: I’ve noticed that while washing my hair, I can close my eyes in the shower, but if the water turns cold I have to open them, even if it means getting shampoo in my eyes. I can’t handle the cold water (without my sight) because it simulates the feeling [...]

Brick & Mortar is a Ripoff + Bees & Hives

Finally picked up tickets for The Hives today, then headed to Powell’s to try to make my trip downtown more worthwhile. Wait, what? Living in a city that bands come to? Weird. I ended up purchasing Carl Sagan’s The Varieties of Scientific Experience for $27.95 in hardcover. You know what that exact same title costs [...]

Years of Tetris Finally Pays Off

So as I was packing my belongings up, I was a little worried about being able to take everything with me that I wanted to. I mean, I had three boxes of NES carts alone. I figured I would pack by priority and leave behind whatever didn’t fit (i.e., video games first). Well, everything I [...]

New Departure Date: Tuesday

There’s no way I can make it out of town on Monday. I ended up getting hit with a bunch of time-consuming projects this weekend like building computers or burning and/or downloading ridiculous amounts of music for my brother and dad (which I’m STILL doing, while getting my clothes sorted, washed and packed), among other [...]
