I have been writing and posting Evangelion fanfiction on said site for at least two years now, starting roughly the beginning of spring 2005. Since I began, I have developed a small band of loyal fans who crave every sentence of my next update, regardless of the project I have made. This is partly due to the way I write, and partly due to the fame ( Read more... )

The goal I had set for myself to reach before commencement was to run 10 miles continuously. I effectively exceeded that goal this Memorial Day weekend, running 12 miles nonstop in 1 hour, 37 minutes ( Read more... )

Les Schwab, the founder of Les Schwab Tire Centers died yesterday. It is a significant loss, both for the family who knew him, and the customers (such as myself) who were treated well from his firm's great service.

We haven't even covered more than one chapter of the textbook, and that was just scratching the surface. There is no way in hell he could possibly have a midterm next week.

I have become the unofficial TA for tax class, as I'm the only one who has both the triple digit IQ to make the Pro-System FX tax software work, and the patience to teach others how to make everything work. However, I've been expected over the last two weeks to practically spoon feed the answers to everyone, rather than helping others learn ( Read more... )

Discrete Math is driving me nuts again, and the fact not a single cd/dvd retailer has the particular album I have been looking for over the last week. It's like Best Buy, Wherehouse Music, Border's, Wal-Mart, and Target are all working in collusion to keep the one specific album I want off the shelves as long as possible ( Read more... )
