The Day I Read a Really Terrific Story.
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Apparently it’s been making the round on the Internets of late, but I read this story about Roger Ebert for the first time today and it moved me in a way I have trouble fully expressing. I love reading about him and his wife, and how they are when they’re together after decades of marriage. [...]
The Day I Told Myself to Stop Whining, Again.
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010I’ve been in a career funk as of late. Specifically I’ve been funking about how I can’t seem to secure full-time, relatively stable employment anywhere, and how I’m generally just barely making ends meet, and how I get to interact with basically no one outside my own house, and how my motivation seems to have [...]
The Day I Accounted for the Past Three Days.
Monday, February 15th, 2010Okay, so let’s see here. Friday Friday was The Day I Started Reading an Actual Book Instead of Playing Goddamn Video Games All the Fucking Time. Perhaps it’s best I didn’t use that as a post title, as it’s kind of long and unwieldy. Yeah, so I’ve been in this infinite loop lately where I [...]
The Day I Fell Off the NaBloPoMo Wagon.
Friday, February 12th, 2010Well, shit.
The Day I Got Some Bad News.
Thursday, February 11th, 2010I got an e-mail from a former professor I’m fond of today with the subject line, “Memories of Jim,” Jim being another former professor I always liked. I was horrified; I assumed Jim had died suddenly. Well, not suddenly, it turns out, but soon enough, unfortunately. Jim was, I guess, planning to retire soon anyway, [...]
The Day I May Have Lost Everything On My Computer
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010I don’t want to talk about it in too much detail, because I’m too upset right now. And it might still turn out okay. But yes, see the title. It started out as an attempt at diagnosing a software problem with an only partly necessary application. And then it snowballed. And snowballed. And snowballed. And [...]
The Day We Got All This Snow.
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I woke up today to find about six inches and rapidly counting of new snow, and it was really exciting. No, seriously, listen: I keep hearing from my family and friends how Oklahoma keeps getting blizzard after blizzard, and all the while we’ve had the barest dusting of snow malingering barely visible at the bases [...]
The Day I Saw a Major Award
Monday, February 8th, 2010I saw this in the window of the apartment building across from the coffee shop about 45 minutes ago, and it’s been making me chuckle ever since. That’s right, people. This is A Major Award. I love this town.
