I stayed home yesterday and nursed this sinus infection. I should have stayed in bed for longer than I did, but I got an itch to try something new. Currently, I update posts to this blog using either Notepad (if I’m on a PC) or Simpletext (if I’m on my Mac). I save each entry […]

The A/C at the library is on the fritz. Again. They’re “working” on it. I’m not sure that sitting in the comfy air-conditioned office of the physical plant looking over paperwork is all that effective, though. Just a hunch, really, but being on the other side of the campus from the A/C unit in question […]

You know you’ve got a sinus infection when your upper teeth ache. Over the last few days, my nose has been producing some of the most unearthly material I’ve ever seen. But this hasn’t stopped me. No sir. I am a fighter. I am tough. Except when I lay in bed and whimper for Ari […]

For some reason, my dog has come to regard the morning ritual of putting on shoes as designated time to nuzzle, rub against, and chew on me. What used to take me a minute at most now takes upwards of five. There must be something highly provocative about the busy-hands-on-feet maneuver–something about it says, “Come […]

Okay. I just had a big whopper of a laugh. I needed to translate something into Spanish. I’ve poured over my dictionaries and just wasn’t comfortable with what I’d come up with. I didn’t want to go to Babelfish because I don’t trust it for what I’m doing. So I did a search for online […]

I wish I could say I’ve been productive over the last few days. I wish I could say I’ve at least accomplished something. But the truth is I’ve been a completely useless, lazy bastard. It’s been so hot out that I can’t seem to get motivated to do anything. The heat sucks out all my […]

A long time ago, back when oddfellow was nothing but random interference on the internet (was, you ask?), I had, in my heroes+saints collection, links to places other than web journals. (I will one day very soon return those other links to their proper place.) One of the sites that appeared in my various+sundry list […]

What a weekend! We had Julien’s 4th birthday party yesterday and it rocked! I even overheard several of our guests commenting on how this was a perfect place for a kid party. Yeah! We had: Kiddie pool, huge sprinkler contraption with 5 (count ‘em, 5!) different sprinkler varieties all going at once, a big bucket […]

Ari and I went to see A.I. on Sunday with the lovely Julie. She had seen it once already but did a great job of remaining quiet so as to not spoil anything for us. I admit I was blown away. I was both amazed and heart-broken at the same time. It was, I believe, […]

From “No Need To Worry” by Folk Implosion:
Never know what I’m looking for
until I find it
Never know where I am
until I leave
Not aware that I care
until I’m angry
Never know what I’m thinking
until I dream
 
No need to worry…
Think that I’m a loner, but I’m never alone
No need to worry…
Waiting for the summer, but I won’t be […]
