Monday, June 7, 2010 at 9:38AM the city. It has such a beautiful ring to it, the city. It sounds like such a magical, wondrous place where things occur, dreams come true, love is found and lost, people establish their place in the world. Most of that is true I suppose. The city is so ambiguous that it can mean many things to many people, which is one of its charms.
Friday, May 28, 2010 at 12:53PM In an attempt to both hate people less and be outside more, I've started to walk the last mile or so from work to home. The weather's been nice, so despite the sweating and panting and the dirty looks I get from people because I'm smoking and the incessant bump from my messenger bag slapping my ass (in just the way I like it), it isn't bad for a walk. Now typically when I'm walking home I get this nasty sense of foreboding, as if something bad is going to happen to me along the way; like running into an ex (or any other person I'd rather not talk to but kind of secretly want to talk to) or being accosted by a bum who somehow thinks I owe it to him (and myself) to give him some money, or (possibly the worst scenario possible) I am absolutely ignored, invisible, non-existent. As if I were one of those images you catch in the corner of your eye that when you turn to look at it isn't actually there.
Monday, May 24, 2010 at 7:18PM At first, i was sad to see the show end because I feel as if some of my best friends died. Cause, you know they all were dead at the end, right? Spoiler alert. But as I thought about it I slowly realized that all of my best friends are tv characters. Let me say that again, all of my best friends are tv characters. When Captain Kirk died in Generations, I cried; when Dumpledore died, I cried; when Sara and Chuck got together, I cried; when Dawn and Tim finally kissed, I cried. Tv characters become my family, my friends, my life; when they're sad, I'm sad; when they're happy, I'm happy.
Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 11:43AM I’m not normally one to blame my problems on someone else; truth be told, I usually take on an inordinate amount of blame. There is, however, something I know isn’t my fault and that I can, in fact, place some of that blame on you, society.
Friday, April 2, 2010 at 12:15PM One of the best things about following video game and tech websites is April Fool's Day. They love it, maybe too much. There is something about being shunned and beat up and looked down upon and shoved into a locker as a kid in middle and high school that makes one so vengeful as to want to abuse one's power and prank everyone on the internet with gaggery (I just made that word up). And I feel their pain. So, here's a few of my faves from yesterday.
