bored in the barrel

80s pop. Not just any 80s pop am I craving… BritPop. Duran Duran and Love and Rockets and Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys. And most of that is on those archaic cassette that I have no idea where they are and nothing to play them on… even if I knew where [...]

So we finally got the trainer and we finally go it set up. My bike fits fine… Otto’s we may have to come up with something. The back wheel wobbles and doesn’t stay neatly on the roller. We got a fluid one… it was not cheap. Pretty good tho.
So it kicked [...]

So, I just haven’t had too much time to write lately… Between homework and housework and such… All I’ve actually done since the 11th is post a link to Lindsay’s band’s site. (Stutter… duh!)
This past weekend Raney came down for a visit… we didn’t do all that much but play video games…
We buy the games. [...]

So I’m off the make-me-tired-as-hell meds and onto others. These were originally for treating epilepsy… I need to get the prescription today. Supposedly these have similar side effects, and are a bedtime only med. However, I’m more hopeful… and if they don’t work or are too bad then I can call the [...]

Bob Hill and his new wife, Betty, are vacationing in Europe; as it happens, in Transylvania.
They’re driving a rental car along a rather deserted highway. It’s late, and raining very hard. Bob can barely see 10 feet in front of the car. Suddenly the car skids out of control!
Bob attempts to control the car, but [...]

Well, I didn’t get my last paper done for history. That’ll be a big fat ZERO. My Psycology test…. a 70. However, today I have nothing due, and my only class is painting… which as of yet requires no out-of-class work. So, I can get caught up on housework, homework, and [...]

Well, I’ve added a wish list. Seeing as it is now February and April is just around the corner… I’m attempting to fend off the “what do you want for your birthday?” crap I get every year. Take a look. See what I’ve noticed that I’d like to have, but likely won’t [...]

So I’m sitting here, having just finished cleaning a bit, with a cutely sleeping husband in the living room, dishwaser going, not bothering with music, about to check in on what homework I have and then go clean the car… and I’m realizing how incredibly happy I am.
I mean, I’m not exstatic at [...]

I have a serious headache. I did a bad job eating today, didn’t eat much… didn’t eat before workout… barely ate afterward… And unable to sleep since I’m afraid to. Might go grab food in a bit. Not taking my meds tonite.. it hasn’t really been helping anyway… and I don’t want [...]

Huge apple cravings lately. Normally I get a couple grannysmiths, never eat them before they go bad, and then toss them out.
But, the other day I actually see some empires (very rare in NC, it seems)… and they didn’t look crappy… and they were awesome! Not quite as good as climbin a tree [...]

I haven’t written my dad in a while. Partly, it’s because the last letter I wrote was returned, apparently the NY correctional system requires full name in the return addy… Partly it’s because he was supposed to be moving soon but didn’t know when and I didn’t want a note to get lost…
But, mainly… [...]

And I am proud of it!
I mean, here’s the thing…. I prefer things that don’t suck.
I know a SquareEnix game will rock (esp an RPG). I know a Sony A/V component will not suck. I know my mac will not automagically lock up on me 8 times a day. And I [...]
