…a Minor Threat. That’s who came on my audio player as I was laying down the last few sentences of my exam. Good for getting the tension out and the attitude up. Of course, now that I’m done and can relax a little, my cold will probably explode and my brain shortcircuit. But there’s not [ READ MORE ]
Well, folks, in little over an hour the exam will whizz through through the air with nary the whisper of a guillotine’s blade on its gleaming journey. As my head rolls into the collection basket, I hope to be relieved of the congestion, headache, and stuffy nose life seems to have blessed me with to [ READ MORE ]
Perhaps I’ve become a hikikomori. I haven’t left our apartment for days. I hardly leave my room. I’ve no relations outside my family and this self-referential writing, which is a mere pretense of relations with the outside world. Oh, no, wait, I’m studying for my exam. [ READ MORE ]
158, 159,… [ READ MORE ]
I just made slight but dubious improvements to the sidebar. I’m working toward a masterful overhaul, especially since I was told by an authoritative blogger that my site looks a bit girly. Not that I mind being a bit girly, mind you, but it confirms that the image I’m giving off is not that intended [ READ MORE ]
And what was overwhelmingly magical (and I don’t mean religious ceremonies here) is rapidly becoming more mundane. It turns out that our delay in confirming the invitation to Norm Krumholz has resulted in him making other plans. Ann Forsyth cannot make it because she has a class to teach the next morning. So now we [ READ MORE ]
And a happy birthday goes out to Yoonkyung. 25 cent chicken wings and beer tonight at 110th and Amsterdam to celebrate. [ READ MORE ]
So the family was here over the weekend. It was hectic, but surprisingly okay. Y2K cooked a great lunch, we went to the movies, and followed that up with a decent dinner at French Roast. Yesterday we went to my cousin’s kid’s christening and off to the new Churrascaria Plataforma in Tribeca. The most odd [ READ MORE ]
So my big exam has been postponed a couple of days and I have to change the questions. It turns out that this second exam is intended to be more practical and applied. So I have to retool. I’m not sure if this makes it easier or harder. That’s the future of my planning. For the [ READ MORE ]
Nothing much to say, but to welcome in 2006, which has been remarkably wonderful so far, I felt I was obliged to write something. [ READ MORE ]
Just before waking this morning, I was dreaming that I was deeply dissatisfied with my life. It was a disturbing sensation to say the least. I don’t think it’s the case in a substantive material fashion; it struck me as a deeper existential discomfort, a discomfort that cannot be resolved save through long meditation. (Kevin, [ READ MORE ]
Well, I originally intended this current design to be a temporary solution to get this thing up and running while I study for my test. And now, looking at Y2K’s new blog (and my shopping list!), which has an excellent design by Zeniths, I know now that I must come up with something better. Except [ READ MORE ]
Today’s rain has perpetuated a disturbing memory that sprang up again on my way to my reunion the other night. I haven’t driven much since high school, so the 45 minute drive to Anne’s place in rain at night put me on edge. Because of my infrequent driving experience, I knew that I did not [ READ MORE ]
Inspired by the illusion of free time, a desire to procrastinate, and Brad’s tasty Thai meal last night, I decided to try my hand as well. I followed a mediocre and not very pad thai-ey pad thai recipe, cooking shrimp for the first time in my life. What a pleasure to break out of my [ READ MORE ]
I went to an informal 20th high school reunion last night for our small circle of friends. As one of former classmates stated, “High school is half a lifetime away…literally.” I came away (far too early due to the bus schedule) knowing that I had been surrounded by good people. Most everyone had pursued or [ READ MORE ]
