Party planning for next semester

By Justin | December 16, 2007

I will host an Oldies Soirée next semester. I will find all the oldies songs in my collection and buy a bunch of the classics from the iTunes Store, and on a warm afternoon in May, we will open all the windows, letting the breeze drift through the house and the sun shine in on [...]

To post, or not to post: that is the question

By Justin | December 16, 2007

I am considering posting this on Wesleying; I think it’s almost too creative not to post. However, despite my best intentions and the tag “if you took this seriously enough to get angry over it then you entirely missed the point,” I still think people won’t be able to understand the concept of abstract humor—a [...]

It’s snowing… again!

By Justin | December 16, 2007

The ground is already covered. How long before it turns over to sleet and freezing rain is anybody’s guess, but one thing is for sure: when I wake up, I don’t think I’ll be going outside. I remember when I was little, how excited I always was to go out and play in the snow. [...]

Procrastinating by reading the newspaper

By Justin | December 15, 2007

In America, the government doesn’t spy on you. They let the corporations spy on you, and then exempt those corporations from being prosecuted for breaking the law. So, wait… government does spy on you. In America, “the increase in incomes of the top 1 percent of Americans from 2003 to 2005 exceeded the total income [...]

The numeric outlook on final exams

By Justin | December 15, 2007

In order to get final grades of 90 or better, I must get at least an 84 on my final paper for HIST291, and at least a 95 on the AMST230 final exam. In order to get credit for LAT101, I must get better than a 26.6 on the final exam. That is, if the [...]

A few thoughts on friendship

By Justin | December 15, 2007

Much as my socially-extroverted side has tended to fight it since sixth grade, I have always agreed with the maxim that it’s better to have a few good friends than a lot of not-quite-good friends. In those years, there were times when I would try to tell myself otherwise, when I would put myself out [...]

It must be the snow

By Justin | December 14, 2007

Something about the snow must’ve forced all the girls out of the dark, shady corners of campus. There was no shortage of incredibly pretty girls at dinner tonight. Unfortunately, there no straight guys at my table with which to consult on the topic. Share this entry:

The saddest song I’ve ever heard

By Justin | December 13, 2007

I think The Weakerthans’ song “(Hospital Vespers)” may be the saddest song I’ve ever heard. And it gets that distinction despite the fact that its few verses are contained inside only one minute and 40 seconds. Share this entry:

Walking in a winter wonderland

By Justin | December 13, 2007

Cars and SUVs are having a hard time sticking to the pavement as the snow piles up on Route 66. Here, cars stopped at the traffic light: A tranquil view from Vine Street, looking north, with the older section of Indian Hill Cemetery on the right: I had a Help Desk staff meeting at noon; [...]

Heavy Snow Warning in effect!

By Justin | December 12, 2007

There is a Heavy Snow Warning in effect pretty much all day tomorrow. The National Weather Service says that “heavy snow during the mid-afternoon will result in 4 to 6 inches, and total accumulations are expected to range from 8 to 10 inches by the time the storm ends.” Woo! Too bad I don’t have [...]
