It’s yet another Scrantastic day in Scranton, Pennsylvania. This morning on my way back to my house, it was 46 degrees Fahrenheit with a 5-10 MPH wind, and raining. Doesn’t get much nicer than that, now does it? A few minutes ago, they turned the heat on in Tioga House, so I no longer need [...]

I added some information about myself to the About section. I’m not quite finished with it, but depending on how tomorrow goes, I may add a little bit more in the form of quick bits of information. I was also thinking about widening the column for the main text and adding a column for recent [...]

I have been rather busy these past few days; therefore, this entry will be chaotic and will randomly jump from topic to topic. Consider yourself warned. Last Friday, I went to see The Fantasticks in the Royal Theater. I thought that the show was highly enjoyable, despite what I read in Chris Boltinghouse’s review “Fantasticks [...]

There will be no scanning of cheat sheets for you today. I was going to scan the paper at work but I didn’t go to work this morning because I wasn’t feeling well. I felt a little bit better later in the morning so I went to all of my other classes; I also shouldn’t [...]

I didn’t go out tonight, I don’t have any homework, and I’m not posting until next week so I thought I’d post another entry for your reading enjoyment. But there’s a problem: I’m feeling lazy and I don’t feel like writing the normal witty banter that you’ve grown to hate. Therefore, I’m stepping to a [...]

Eventful times since the last entry. I left Scranton around noon on Friday and went home for about an hour before leaving again to go visit Annie in Baltimore. I planned on getting down there about three, but traffic caused me to show up at 6:30. She surprised me with a bottle of Tommy Hilfiger [...]

Everybody’s seen the Dr. Scholl’s commercial where two guys ask each other if they are “Gellin’” after being involved in a minor car accident. After each notices that the other man is very laid-back, one says to the other, “You must be gellin’.” The other man replies, “Gellin’ like a felon.” However, Dr. Scholl’s apparently [...]

I finally figured out exactly how to list the number of comments for each entry next to the permalink. I added that to the code for the main page of this site, as well as for each entry in the Archives. I also added a sidebar to the home page which I will use to [...]

I watched a show on the History Channel today about the Autobahn. It was originally dubbed Hitler’s Road because he commissioned the work as part of the “New Germany.” Like the roads of the Roman Empire, the Autobahn was intended to be the skeleton of the Nazi Empire. The stretch to the west would go [...]

I just have to say that 24 is a wonderful show. Tonight was the season premiere and I can only say that it was just as good as I expected. Already I can imagine dozens of different directions that the subplots may take, but I can only make wild guesses as to how the season [...]

I completed a major site update today, but many people would not notice if I didn’t say anything about it. Besides adjusting the width of certain columns and modifying the header size slightly, I also scrapped the previous design’s table layout in favor of an XHTML-styled div and CSS layout. Certain aspects, such as the [...]

In celebration of All Hollows’ Eve, I’ve switched to the first special template for this site. I’ll keep it up for at least a few days after Halloween though. The surprising thing is that it only took me an hour to create the new Halloween template by modifying the graphics and stylesheet for the normal [...]

Despite the fact that I’m feeling quite under the weather, I decided to post something anyway. Ooh, be amazed by my dedication, also known as boredom. A long time ago, on a TV displaying something far, far away, I first learned of The Sedlec Ossuary, a small Christian chapel on the outskirts of the Czech [...]
