strictly roots.
On Sunday night, I gave in to the temptation presented on the bottom shelf of the teas aisle at the co-op and bought a carton of Oregon Chai Nog concentrate. (Actually, for a treat, go to the Oregon main page and watch the silly 5-second animated intro.)
Two wonderful things, combined into one? How could it [...]
An unusual and overwhelming conspiracy of disparate forces resulted in my failure last night to sleep at all (so far as i can remember — I may in fact have put in a cat nap’s worth around 6:30 or something), and my agonizingly painful right ankle affliction today, and a terrifying left hand cramp this [...]
This morning’s Post-Gazette Forum section featured a few things of interest, front-and-center being a reprint of an article from the Washington Post by David Vise, whose new book on Google is coming out soon. While his angle on the matter is perhaps not in line with mine (I couldn’t care less about the “business status [...]
I had intended to write you many things in the past few days, about the radio, about my impending state of agoraphobia, about sleep and dreams, but it seems that those things (well, replace “the radio” with “a frenzied amount of stuff at work”) have taken up my time, and I’ve not done so. And [...]
This weekend, I made the unfortunate mistake of venturing into Monroeville. I never thought I would be one to complain about this sort of thing, but honestly, I’ve been pushed too far. It is NOT Christmas yet.
I went in search of nothing in particular, which may have been my first mistake. I was at my [...]
The following things have been on my mind today:
- My spleen. It’s been feeling a little tender/uncomfortable the past few days, and especially today. This comes with the territory of having mono — it tends to become enlarged. I’m not playing drums for a while for fear that it might burst, and I’m attempting to [...]
Since when is Peter Parker concerned with bioethics? Or ethics of any sort, for that matter? This guy is made of half spider DNA. He takes advantage of the superhuman traits he was given accidentally. Is that okay? Has he ever considered that? This is the man who swoops down upon “bad guys” on no [...]
A few things:
First of all, American Apparel is moving into town. I hear there’s a store going in in Shadyside, which makes sense. If you don’t know what sucks about AA, read about it here. Is it asking too much to not want to have to choose between sweatshops and a culture of sexual harassment?
Second, [...]
Eep. I have mono. I’m about to go take a codeine nap and have neat dreams. Nighty night!
I’m sick, and leaving for a weekend at the parents’ in T-minus-twenty-three minutes. I hope I get better while I’m there, being waited on. If not, I fear I may be sick for a while, which will suck, especially with the new job and still quite a few shows and things coming up.
Enjoy the [...]
