February 2008

Year 7 of the grand playlist experiment comes to a close (or a beginning?) with a mish-mash of songs that drifted around me. I thought about including The Jefferson’s theme song for moving, but I think it’ll wait until next month. Yes, that is Gnarls Barkley, Slayer,Bo Diddley and Lilly Allen in the same fucking [...]

More Adventures

Setup: Gretchen is somewhere in San Diego searching for some place, and I am playing tech support guy. We talk about and forth about how to find a place, and then this:
GW: Okay, I gotta go, a bird just shit on me
M: Really, a bird shat on you?
GW: I gotta go, it’s the second time [...]

My Girlfriend Be In San Diego

A half-remembered transcript from this morning. (IE, I made much of it up)Let me set this up. I am at work, and talking to a couple dudes when I get the call. I ignore it and she leaves a voicemail. I call her back.
M: Hey, what’s up
GW: Did you get my message?
M: No, I never [...]

Entering the Dead Zone

 
After tomorrow I am entering a 5 day period I’m going to call (very ominously, I might add) “””The Dead Zone”””. Both my internet connection and my parking space are expiring at that time, so I’ll be driving around the city for the entirety of the weekend and early next week searching for free Internet [...]

Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack!

A Disguise!

I like to think that when I take off my glasses nowadays i gain some sort of wonderous super powers, though in reality it pretty much just makes me feel like I’m drunk and everything gets a little fuzzy.
In any case, I have nothing to report other than [...]

Back to School

I enrolled myself in a project management class a couple of months ago and pretty much forgot about it until yesterday afternoon when I checked my work schedule and saw large chunks of purple blotting out the sun in the middle of the week.
Work education, or at least classes taught at work is an interesting [...]

Aha! A project better than deep frying?

While trolling the internet today I saw a project about how to make a polaroid pinhole camera, it seems a little complex, but I can imagine that it would make a cool Saturday project or so. I’ve got a pack of unused Polaroid film, so maybe it could make it worth while.
On an unrelated note, [...]

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

There was once a discussion over at Blogspedition about people coming to Neutral Milk Hotel’s album In The Aeroplane Over The Sea in different ways and different times. Something personal that strikes me about it is that when Gretchen and I broke up for that one half-year or so,  we both listened to it quite [...]

Thinking about Caucusing

So yesterday, Faye mentioned the caucuses on  Saturday to me, and I sort of mentioned that it’s all a joke due to super-delegates and the like, and really the whole primary being a sham in many ways. But in any case, as I thought about it throughout the day, I considered the fact that it [...]

Mitt Romney Dropped Out and I am sad.

So Mitt Romney is a quitter on top of being a douchebag, albeit one douchebag I hoped would win the primary and then stumble and asshat himself to an easy loss in the presidential race.
6 Years ago, if someone had told me that John McCain was pretty much going to be the nomination of the [...]
