And I’ll Blow Your House Down

It was windy outside today. Every now and then, it would make the panes of glass in the windows of my room rattle quite loudly. Several times today, I expected the wind to gather enough strength to break the windows and blow shards of glass into my room. Luckily, they just make a surprising amount [...]

Add Sidebar, Count Comments, Stir, and Serve

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 [...]

My Birthday Weekend

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 [...]

Will I Party Like It’s My Birthday?

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 [...]

Scranton is Scrantastic

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 [...]

Does It Have to Be Today?

There is nothing that I like more than waking up at 8:00 AM. Well, nothing except waking up at 8:00 AM and going to a nine o’clock class. Well, nothing more than waking up at 8:00 AM for a nine o’clock class that I didn’t have because the professor cancelled today’s class last week. And [...]

Two Weeks into a New Semester

The past two weeks have been really reassuring for me. I was a little nervous coming back to school after nine months, but I’ve been able to jump back into the swing of things without too much trouble. I was also a bit nervous about moving into a house with seven guys I didn’t know; [...]

Tom Leykis is a Slobbering Idiot

I came across a rather disturbing website for a radio jock named Tom Leykis. Apparently, he’s published the name of Kobe Bryant’s accuser. Not only has he published her name, something that media types respectfully avoid, but he’s also gone on to accuse her of gold-digging and being a “mountain trash slut.” Steve Duin of [...]

Missing: Two Months of Summer 2003

I thought summer was supposed to be nice and relaxing; three months of boredom and eager anticipation for the first day of school mixed in with some healthy dread. However, nothing I think is close to reality. This summer seems to be flying by; not just going fast, but literally launching itself into some breakneck [...]

Noah and His Floating Zoo

I actually like a little rain every now and then but the horrible weather is really starting to get to me. It’s rained almost every day for the past two months, which doesn’t make sense. If I lived in Seattle or the Amazon I would understand that they’re soggy places and you get a shower [...]
