the time has come to discuss killer bees. there was a time when people outside of the congo didn’t even know such things existed, but i have it on good authority that we will soon need to know as much about them as possible, as they have reached the eastern seaboard of the united states […]
words and phrases i haven’t used in a long time
“cool beans” “what’s that got to do with the price of eggs in china?” “psyche!” “oooooh! is that a new coke watch?” “when can i get a 10-speed?” “do i HAVE to go to bed??!!?!?” “um… i forgot my homework at home.” “bone” (as in “dude, i promise not to bone your sister” “oh, wow, […]
hectic!
wow i’m busy lately. it’s odd to have an actual schedule again for the first time in years, and not having internet access at home has kept me offline a lot, which has been very nice, actually. 😀 i posted a bunch of new photos to flickr today from the last couple weeks. the puppy […]
you don’t need that much time
We all thought she was telling us that she was pregnant again — by a different man! And as an example of how wrong my Aunt Martha was, concerning her point of view that my mother was “a little simple,” my mother instantly saw what we were thinking, and laughed at us, very quickly, and […]
world’s longest forehead hairâ„¢
just now, while sitting here reading blogs at the abbey in downtown indianapolis, while resting my head on my left hand, i discovered that i have a 4-inch, very fine, hair, growing out of the middle of it. i am positive it was not there last night. how does such a thing happen? am i […]
more on starbucks
today was my second real shift at starbucks. i have never had a job with less downtime — WOW is it busy, the entire damn time. it’s hell of fun though. the register is not nearly as overwhelming to run as i had feared — the interface is actually very well designed (even if it […]
baristing
today i start my first shift at starbucks. yeee-hah. :-/ while it is nice, after almost a month of putting in applications, to finally be starting a job, it is daunting to be faced with the fact that for the first time in almost two years i will now have a schedule to stick to, […]

so, uh… about those fossils… ?
Theological scholars may have noticed that there are, in fact, no dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible – and here lies the Creationists’ first problem. Since there are undoubtedly dinosaur bones and since, according to the Creationists, the world is only 6,000 years old – a calculation devised by the 17th-century Bishop Ussher, counting back through […]
loathsome
filling out employment applications has got to be one of the single most awful things a person must endure that doesn’t cause actual physical pain (except, of course, for the cramped hands from gripping the pencil too tightly). i hate this.
back home again
i have started pulling at least some of my stuff back out of storage and putting it back into the house. it’s starting to look like someone lives there, again. if nothing else, at least the place gone one hell of a thorough cleaning, eh? 😀 i have started back on zoloft — only been […]
Wired News: The Crusade Against Religion
Wired News: The Crusade Against Religion:Prophecy, I’ve come to realize, is a complex meme. When prophets provoke real trouble, bring confusion to society by sowing reverberant doubts, spark an active, opposing consensus everywhere — that is the sign they’ve hit a nerve. But what happens when they don’t hit a nerve? There are plenty of […]
last pretty day of the season
today is gorgeous out: 73°f, sunny. so why am i not playing disc golf, on what is the last best candidate day for doing so? because the winds are up to 30mph, and the disc kept flying into the woods. drat. so now i sit at a cafe downtown, working at a free wifi spot. […]
