Search Terms

Jack, I swear…
I swear, dude, I could post every single day about the search terms people punch in to reach this blog. Today I found one of the funniest I’ve ever seen, though…”showering alternatives”. I guess deep inside their heart the person wants to be clean, but sometimes you’ve just gotta bite the [...]

LAN you dig it?

What is the difference between an artist and an artisan? It seems like the words are interchangeable, but one is infinitely more pretentious than the other so its use immediately conveys some information about the speaker…and it’s not good.
So, I went to a LAN party on SATURDAY NIGHT! SATURDAY NIGHT LAN PARTY. There, I said [...]

Less Than A Week ‘Til Payday

And I feel like some new Pumas.  In fact, I might double up because I can gain some momentum while shopping.  When it rains, it pours.
Not much else to say, except to reiterate that the web is the greatest/worst thing ever.  So much information, but also such a magnet drawing me from things that are [...]

You Know You’re Back in School When…

It’s 12:45am and you’re just starting to do the research and PowerPoint for a class presentation at 1pm.  Only, this time around, it’s 2006 and I’m employed so the morning hours will be spent trying to convince the high school students that I’m alert and prepared for class instead of half-asleep and stressing over the [...]

Make a Wish, baby!

$500 karaoke competition coming up in less than 2 weeks. If I’m lucky, I’ll be able touse Ambrosia’s “You’re the Biggest Part of Me” to bring the house down.

Library Laws

I’ll admit, I’m in the library trying to keep quiet as I rustle through bags of jelly beans adn cough drops, shuffle through papers and sniffle-snort my way through this cold. But that chick across from me just answered her cell phone with a full-voiced “Hello?” That should grant the rest of us [...]

We’ve All Been There

Holy shit.  11:53pm.  Work and school tomorrow.  Assignments half-done and what am I looking at on the web??  The Small Wonder Webring.  Thank goodness I can at least leave home to escape my computer because if I had a laptop, I would never get any work done EVER.
Gotta admit, though, Small Wonder was a fun [...]

I hate so much about the things that you choose to be

Fresh off some poker tournament winnings off my friends, I decided to return to the Lucky Buck to test my skills aganist the diehards. Obliteration was the name of the game as I won a whopping four hands in 3 hours. Because I work as a substitute teacher I was short-stacked from the [...]

Stargazing

How minor a celebrity does one have to be before they are no longer a celebrity? Perhaps if only 100,000 people know of the person? 10,000? 5 or 6? Last night I drove across the bay to Happy Donut because it’s the only 24-hour place I could think of where I [...]

Looking Forward (to Miami Vice)

It’s not often that I think about the future. There’s something of a no-planning, no-direction, play-as-it-lies spirit to me. It’s a philosophy that can work, I believe, and in fact in can yield fine rewards because to subscribe to such a philosophy and to be successful means one must be prepared for anything. [...]
