Because, I swear, my life isn't all just obsessing over the roommate situation--in fact, that's a very small portion of my life about which I just have an overwhelming amount to say--I figure I should maybe post about something else now and then ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to post about this since Friday, in particular because I could use some outside perspective which doesn't amount to hollow platitudes like 'give her time' which doesn't do anyone any good. I just haven't known what to say. I still don't. There's no way to do this succinctly. The problem itself is not succinct. It's not neat and ( Read more... )

So, my brother says to me, "I had the weirdest sex dream last night. I've been reading a lot of Harry Potter lately. I mean... a LOT."

Also: we picked out our tuxes. Yeah, one for me, too. More on that later, maybe.

Stayed up way too late on Friday puttering online, as is my habit, and got a text message from Carrie just before shutting everything down pre-sleep. Eric got picked up on a DUI. Eric whose license is currently already suspended for a DUI while on a suspended license. Years ago, mind, but still... You'd think he'd make better choices, that even in ( Read more... )

Today's new icon is totally relevant to a recent 4am conversation with my brother. Someday, he'll stop calling me at the wee hours of the morning when I have work the next day, I'm sure, but I think I might actually miss it when he does. We ended up on the phone for a good two and a half hours. Guess it was, as it always is, Sunday night. Well, ( Read more... )

I've been jonesing some Reel Big Fish lately (which always makes me angry at the asshole for swiping those CDs) which has consequently got me downloading stuff and watching YouTube. This one was on the Keep Your Receipt CD (I think), and I remember watching it with Eric and getting a real kick out of it considering we were at the 1997 FEZtival ( Read more... )

Dar Williams came and went as I expected. However, I don't feel that anticipated pang of regret that so often accompanies choosing laziness and general flaking over something potentially interesting. No, more interesting possibilities arose, and I pursued them without hesitation ( Read more... )

Heh. So, I had a very serious entry to make, but when I typed in that subject line, I couldn't help but think about me, Eric, and Justin all playing Halo 2 some time back in which Eric (I think) was getting a lot of assassinations. It was said of him that he was, "a thief in the night, like Jesus come to kill us all."

But, yeah, serious post.

I had a dream about my dad today. It's something that happens from time to time. Except... this one was different from every other one I've had before. I mean, I've had anger dreams about dad, I've had dreams about vacationing with dad which were just weird, but... this one had depth, significance. I remember a conversation I'd had with Amna ( Read more... )
