Well, I think it was kind of disappointing, that [tag]x-men[/tag] movie. It seemed sort of… like there was a lot of random situations that magically had fixes. Too many, rather, and in addition there were all these… extraneous seeming characters and, like…
I don’t know, it was fun, but, for example, I think I enjoyed [...]

United Airlines loathing
May 25th, 2006 · No Comments
The below I wrote earlier while sitting in the terminal waiting to leave.
Though I am sure I will rethink this upon later rereading, right now there are few places more infuriating, if any, that I can imagine, than terminal 1 at [tag]O’Hare[/tag] International [tag]Airport[/tag].
Clever readers might know that Terminal 1 here at ORD [...]

Why?
May 25th, 2006 · No Comments
Somebody recalled the book [tag]Why?[/tag] by Charles Tilly a day or two ago and I didn’t think I’d get back from Philadelphia in time to return it without incurring some fees, so I decided to read it that day. It’s a pretty interesting book about interactions between people and the reasons they give for [...]
Bravia Ad
May 23rd, 2006 · No Comments
While this is old news to many, I suspect, at this point, I am finding myself quite amused both by the original ad itself, as well as the parodies it has spawned.
Apparently Sony made an ad for their [tag]Bravia[/tag] televisions and it got lots of attention for being a pretty neat looking [tag]ad[/tag]. [...]

It’s weird. What is it, I wonder, about these random fragments in movies and music that stick out so powerfully in my memory such that I end up carrying them around with me at what seems like all times? They’re silly quotes, but I can just sort of recall them effortlessly and I [...]

Dr. House

“I’m not sad, I’m complicated. Chicks dig that. One day you’ll understand.”
House says this to some little girl in some episode, I forget which exactly. I think it’s the episode directly before the episode where he doses himself with LSD to treat a migraine. House, MD is hilarious. Not as [...]

Skype?
May 15th, 2006 · No Comments
So apparently [tag]Skype[/tag] is offering their [tag]SkypeOut[/tag] service for [tag]free[/tag] until the end of 2006.
The actual details can be found here.
I used to have to sort of make an effort if I wanted to skype somebody as I am pretty neglectful in terms of leaving Skype open on my computer [...]

sounding off
May 14th, 2006 · No Comments
Here I was thinking I had sort of abandoned updating this for a while, and then today I wanted to write about Scavhunt but I was just didn’t have much I wanted to really say yet (maybe later).
But then, my sister gave me a call, just to say hi. I’m pretty out [...]

Panic.
May 11th, 2006 · 3 Comments
I feel like I’ve sort of gone from kind of comfortably uneasy about what I’m doing after graduation to the verge of panic. Desperation is the word of the moment, alternating with dejection… Because who still doesn’t have plans this late in the game? Me.
When I can’t keep myself busy with finding a [...]
