Seems like my last post was in 2007, in the last major crossroad of my life. Before that was when I wrote more frequently, in highschool and early college. Since I've been writing on Xanga, on Blogspot, now Blogger, on paper, and on various other scattered media. As sometimes writers prefer the antiquated mechanical typewriter, so there's a strange ( Read more... )

Looks like the last time I posted was about two years ago. Thought I would be blogging at Blogger, but that never really got anywhere.  Don't think I'm much a blogger. I just ranting, and I need to do some of that right now ( Read more... )

Anyone crunched on gas money wanna take me to LA this Thanksgiving? Or do you guys know any other sort of hub besides Craigslist where students can rideshare? Any help much appreciated.

Disregard the last entry, it was meant for elsewhere.

But just writing as a reminder that LJ is no longer my home blog. I've switched over to BlogSpot and can be found at:

You know when you're watching TV and you see some guy trying hard to open his bag and the bag explodes on him spilling out all those food contents everywhere? I always thought these guys were either exagerating or just plain stupid. Well, today is July 20th, 2005 and at 12:06 PM today, I -- yes, I, a Cal student had my Planters 3.5oz Mixed Nuts bag ( Read more... )

My try with the LiveJournal paid account just expired and though there was a lot I could do with the paid account, what I really wanted to do was either unattainable or too hard to learn to do. Being and continuing to be inspired by my professor's blog, J. Bradford DeLong, who is a sort of grandmaster of blogging in my opinion with his reality- ( Read more... )

Let me practice my LJ-cut command...

There's nifty, yet a bit older article about the news media:
( Citizen Media and Rather's fall )

So today and tomorrow, and maybe for some time during the summer, I will be having 9 hours at work here in the library, probably averaging 2 calls per hour, 1 call about room scheduling per 2 hours, maybe a little job Bernie wants me to do, and with any luck, paper shredding. The rest of the time I'm doing whatever online. I need to better utilize ( Read more... )

I often thought that I was too smart for the reality tv show phenomenon. I didn't care much for Survivor and I hate Fear Factor. But now, I think the bug has bit me too. My reality show is The Contender on NBC. Today, Anthony just got knocked out. I almost cried at the end of that episode. Every Superman has his Kryptonite.

It's finals time here at Cal. It's a time of transition. My high school friends are winding down to the end of their relatively innocent lives under the protection of the institution of K-12 instruction as they go through their AP tests and senior prom. For us college students, we have a unusual, almost sadistic grim on our faces as we see them ( Read more... )
