Pissed

• Tuesday, March 14th, 2006 • No Comments

So today I got shot down in my ceramics class and it pissed me off so bad that I can’t see straight even now, an hour later.

I drew out a new idea for my next piece since the professor said my original idea might be too tall (at four feet, it was tall, I can [...]


Curiosity

• Tuesday, March 14th, 2006 • 1 Comment

Just in case this reaches Google and finds someone:

I’m looking for Lisa Haney, an online friend I lost contact with years upon years (upon years) ago. When I talked to her she lived in Ohio. She should be something like 23 years old now. Her AIM screen name was Vevina2 at one point.

If anyone knows [...]


The Problem With (Some) Atheists

• Monday, March 13th, 2006 • No Comments

I got into a bit of a fight with my friend Mike. I’ll spare you the details, but suffice to say I acted like an asshole in retaliation for something he did that was assholic. Neither party was actually hurt in any permanent way by these actions but it was important that a lesson be [...]


Star Sighting

Driving Trista home tonight I stopped at a gas station to get her some White Chocolate Reeses cups, and when we pull in we see…

The Los Incomparables De Tijuana touring bus! (An old, run down, shitty, sand covered, but cool looking bus.)

They were inside and I had to pull the cashier away from them in [...]


Glad

• Saturday, March 11th, 2006 • 1 Comment

I am glad I live a somewhat pure life. It’s a feeling I have. I look at some other people I know (not counting the obvious, don’t be so self-centered, you know who you are) and I am filled with an overwhelming disgust, followed by a nice feeling of knowing that the life I lead [...]


Reminded

• Wednesday, March 8th, 2006 • No Comments

Thanks to a post in the comments on… some site… I remembered that I should say this:

Kevin Bacon was totally robbed by not getting a nomination (nor the Oscar) for his performance in The Woodsman. Here’s my review of The Woodsman for people who are not aware of what a superb movie it was. If [...]


New Computer

• Monday, March 6th, 2006 • 1 Comment

I’ve been pre-occupied. I got a new computer, graciously bankrolled by my father.

Kind of a dream come true in all honesty.

Yes, the power supply is sitting on a box outside of the case. The case is too tall for the power supply cables to reach the motherboard, and so while I’m waiting for extensions to [...]


Tristapus and Others

• Friday, March 3rd, 2006 • 1 Comment

Trista made me this octopus for my birthday.

Here’s a new photo of Trista.

I made these pictures below using that fake model photoshop trick.

That last one is my house in the middle of the picture.

Here’s two pictures of my “self-portrait” I recently finished in ceramics. The finished product will look nothing like this but still.

And just [...]
