The end of an (affordable) era.

Thanks to the rising costs of... everything... Brian and I were forced to jump into our next travel purchase, for him to come visit and see me graduate in early August. We managed to snag a round trip flight from LAX to Birmingham and back for ar...

Bummed.

2008, so far, has not been a good year for people who are or have ever been in my life. What the hell. I'm ready for the bad news to end, already.

The semester that keeps on giving.

It would be easy to sit down and feel sorry for myself. But frankly, I've done enough of that today, and the truth is, I'm actually amazingly lucky. Monday night two friends and I went to Sonic. We had the windows down, but I didn't want any sp...

Okay, I know that everyone's buzzing about Heath Ledger's death and it's all celebrity gossip blabla. And I feel stupid making a big deal out of it, but this one seriously hit me. Heath Ledger was probably my first real teenage-crush-on-a-celebr...

I've made the roughly 45 minute drive to the airport twice in the past two weeks; each time NPR has given me a little symphonic present. The first time it was Beethoven's Fifth; today it's Dvořák's New World Symphony. If you've never heard it and...

A sad, sad day.

I just made a lengthy post about this on the Playstation 2 forum at Playstation's website, so I'm just going to copy and paste that post to explain. (I should also point out that those forums are where I started making friends online; for at leas...

Today's Big Mistake:

2007-10-02T02:19:57Z

Watching Meerkat Manor. More specifically, watching Meerkat Manor because I wanted to relax after a long day before getting to some work tonight. Double-you. Tee. Eff. I'm so depressed now.

Food!

2007-06-10T17:55:44Z

The good thing about working for a church is that the day after a wedding... you get free food! Also good is the fact that you make excellent money just to sing. Imagine how much money I'd make if people paid me to sing in my car. Also good is...

The Sinking of the Titanic

2007-04-27T01:02:53Z

I just spent the past hour (literally) listening to Gavin Bryars's The Sinking of the Titanic. It's a minimalist piece based on accounts of the sounds involved in the ship's demise, specifically this: "...from aft came the tunes of the band........

Because I'm bored, because I want to distract myself, and because I want to put off working.

I said, "Ben [my iPod], you know how to make things better. Go, baby, go." And I put Ben on Shuffle (skipping the songs I didn't particularly care to listen to... Ben's amazing, but like everyone else, he's not perfect), and I thought it would ...
