I am always amazed at my own ability to purchase food. I'll linger for days on condiments, ramen, and frozen hotdogs until I eventually remember 'hey, there's a grocery store that you take a shortcut past every day. it's only a block from your house. maybe you should purchase some fresh food.' Suddenly my days are full of vegetables and cheeses ( Read more... )

So a few days ago I discovered http://omegle.com/ by way of the xkcd blag. And it's really fun.
Well, sometimes; it's the luck of the draw and as long as you don't take internet cruelty and hostility personally, it can be fun. It reminds me of the old days of anonymous instant messaging where you had a new screen name every night and just talked ( Read more... )

I found an interesting article with a misleading title.

This is my fall break, which translates to "long weekend for no reason."  I'm happy with the arraingement, though.  I got to come home and visit my ( Read more... )

So Friday night Toby and several people returned to Toby's apartment from a party.  Someone decided it would be fun to spraypaint their living room using my crate of spraypaint that I was keeping there for my artsy impulsive moments.  Paul and Nick were displeased to find their living room thus 'redecorated' when we returned.  It was a tense ( Read more... )

I had a dream that I was starting work at a McDonald's outside of Oakland.  My manager was upset that I was a few minutes late, but seemed impressed that I brought my own watermelon ( Read more... )
