You Should Talk to Strangers!

I feel there is a stigma associated with contact between strangers.  Just so we’re clear, I’m talking about the type of strangers that aren’t dangerous.  I’m talking about every day encounters at bus stops, libraries, and in class.  I’m talking about people who could know each other but don’t because they’ve never conversed.  You may [...]

The new Facebook: Deal with it.

I’m pretty sick of people whining about the new Facebook or seeing online “petition” groups trying to revert Facebook back to it’s old format.  This, coupled with the fact that a friend urged me to write about it, has lead me to this post.  I’m going to deal with new Facebook’s infidelities first, and then [...]

Batman Beyond

I’m convinced that there are just some people that are incompatible for phone conversation.  My friend called me tonight to set up a tennis match.  Either our phones are always connected poorly through the network, or we have no conversational rhythm whatsoever.  I think it’s the latter because sometimes the same thing happens in person.  [...]

Another enchanted rant

I accidentally turned on Sex and the City tonight, and Carrie was going to some red carpet event with her boyfriend who wanted to ride his motorcycle there.  She was objecting because she didn’t want helmet hair, which I suppose is a valid excuse for a woman about to walk a red carpet.  But that’s [...]

I’m pissed

So, my friend told me she had something business-related that she wanted to explain to me, but she wouldn’t say exactly what it was.  I was a bit mystified but agreed to meet up with her last night.  When I got there, it wasn’t just her; it was a group of aspiring entrepeneurs that wanted [...]

I got pulled over last night

Forget the Brobecue; Let’s Talk About School

I’ve always hated when people whine that finals are worth too much of your final grade in a class.  I’ve constantly countered that people should just suck it up and deal with it.  However, I think I just experienced the phenomenon where your grade drops because you did shitty on the final.
I had a perfect [...]

Almost done with my week of hell

I haven’t been posting very often in the last week and a half because I’ve been constantly busy – I have a 3-5 page paper and a huge programming assignment due tomorrow. But I’m done with the paper and the program is basically done. I have four hours tomorrow to write up the [...]
