The Concept

• Monday, July 31st, 2006 • 1 Comment

I finished Tom Drury’s new novel, The Driftless Area. It made me feel both uplifted and completely crushed. First time a novel of his has done that to me. I have to wonder if that is because his other novels are totally unlike this one (which they are) or if it is just because my [...]


Erotonomicon

• Saturday, July 29th, 2006 • No Comments

I wasn’t really sure if I was going to announce this here, but I might as well just to get Google on my side.

If you’re family you can safely stop reading right about now.

I finally started up something I’ve been thinking of for a few weeks now. I’ve been wanting to try to do something [...]


Internet Celebrity

• Thursday, July 27th, 2006 • 2 Comments

My emo-fagginess has reached me some small height of celebrity. This post over at the Radio Radio forums is pretty awesome, considering it is supposedly Moriarty from Ain’t It Cool News posting a link to my mammoth Trista break-up post for everyone to enjoy. Kinda awesome.

Wait, no, I’m crying.

No, wait, that’s awesome. Alright, cool, just [...]


Comments No Longer Broken

• Wednesday, July 26th, 2006 • 1 Comment

Comments don’t look all screwed up now. They are by no means as pretty as they should be, but whatev. No more roll-over on the title either, you’re welcome, Dan. Design still isn’t complete but at least now it’s “fully functional” to an extent. And by “fully functional” I mean monthly archives don’t work worth [...]


Another OKCupid Profile

• Tuesday, July 25th, 2006 • 1 Comment

This the last OKCupid profile I wrote up before deciding to delete it.

Hi. I’m Brad. I often wonder if there is some sort of psychological difference that causes people to say, “My name is (Name),” as opposed to, “I’m (Name).” It’s the sort of thing that could possibly define a lot about a person, or [...]


New Design, Now With Tentacles

• Monday, July 24th, 2006 • No Comments

Yeah, new design, finally another custom-made one instead of a template, which I was unhappy with.

As of right now it’s woefully incomplete and broken, but I wanted to get it up and running so I could see if it works. No more advertisements here, I wasn’t making any money off of them anyway.


Betrayal

• Monday, July 24th, 2006 • No Comments

When I found them in bed together, I wasn’t shocked. There was a sense in the last two months that he would stray from me. I knew it, I could see it in his eyes. He would still look at me with love and lust most of the time, but there were moments when I [...]


EPIC COMIC-CON POST OF DOOM

• Sunday, July 23rd, 2006 • 2 Comments

So, my comic-con saga. This is going to be fun. I wish I had taken more pictures.

Mike, Verne, and I decided to go down to San Diego this weekend. I had talked to Bill about going down and staying with him just as a fluke to get myself out of LA for a while while [...]
