It's been a restful couple of weeks, as much rest as one can procure from working 40 hours a week. It's still a break from the grind of academia. I've been spending every moment I can with Candi. It's like we should get married or something. We play scrabble occasionally or Press Your Luck on Wii or even Umbrella Chronicles, but most of the ( Read more... )

It's no secret that we romanticize about the past. I keep thinking how I don't have any time on my hands. About how, when I do actually sit down to write, most of the time I draw a huge blank. About how I used to tear through video games whereas now they sit gathering dust unopenned. I can think of only one reason for all of this, really ( Read more... )

Or lack thereof. Everybody talks about how the so-called two-party system isn't fair, but nobody has a solution. The current system is the equivalent of everybody deciding the Red Wings should play the Rangers every year, just because everybody likes them. Even though the Devils beat the Rangers last year, and the Red Wings have slowed down due ( Read more... )

So, I don't mention it much, but the only sport I follow is hockey. No basketball, no baseball, no world series of poker. (Though, traditional football is fun in a pinch, just no american handball.) With the NHL in lockout, I'm quite the sad panda ( Read more... )

Seven hours of sleep isn't bad. Plenty of days I'll wake up a couple minutes before my alarm. Or, be awoken by the kittens. They've been better about not being a pain at night, or I'm just sleeping through it. I woke up at 4 AM to notice them both sound asleep on me. On my back, T`Pol was stretched out lengthwise between the indentation in the ( Read more... )

When I was in the Math Center the other day (doing the whole undergrad tutor thing), a girl randomly started talking to me. She was saying how college isn't what she expected at all. She described feeling demotivated, depressed, lonely. She said, "There's nobody over my shoulder telling me what to do!" She said she had this vision of what ( Read more... )

I've been doing a little looking into major requirements, which is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. In the same way I'm fascinated by workout routines, I like coming up with theoretical class schedules for successive semesters. It's different now. I actually have a driving focus. I'm, dare I say, excited about taking more higher-level math ( Read more... )

I had a really nice weekend. I wanted to hit up On The Border in the morning on Sunday, so I stayed over Candi's on Saturday. I really don't remember much other than her sucking on my balls. Girls: Don't be shy, it doesn't hurt. Seriously. As much as I like growing my pubes out over the winter, I should consider keeping my balls shorn for ( Read more... )

So my dad's computer seemed to have died. Which immediately made me think, "Wait, computers don't just die." Which immediately put me in diagnostic mode. When in doubt, check to verify that it's plugged in. No, seriously. It was plugged in. I checked the electricity coming into the motherboard from the power supply. There was power. So, I ( Read more... )
