I post these lyrics in honor of the freshly-fallen snow—our first of the season!
You can find this lovely song—from Said the Whale’s latest album, Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia—on iTunes, or you can download it for free from the band’s website. While you’re there, you can also pick up two of their EPs for free. How generous [...]
I cannot wait for this fucking semester to end.
I thought it might be interesting to post some of the doodles I create in the margins of my notes, for class or otherwise. Here’s the first of the soon-t0-be collection.
This blockhead jogger is about to hit a wall of text describing the Board of Trustees’ meeting, and the sorry state of the University’s endowment [...]
With the chance to have my take on these lyrics critiqued by the singer (I’m still not over how cool that is), how could I resist?
This is another great song by Bass Lions. It’s called “Funeral Shed,” and it’s off of their EP, More Than Islands:
Seven cousins all in a funeral shed
(One, two, three, four, [...]
After nearly five months of trying to get the $30 rebate that T-Mobile has admitted—many times—that they owe me, I finally filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

I’m off. Down Beach Street, a bit of friction missing between my shoes and the wet, leaf-covered pavement. As I round the bend, the wind sweeps at my back and I hear the rainwater trickle and fall into the storm drain across the street.
Warwick Street. The wind picks up as I cross High Street, mostly [...]
I’ve been going through lots of old to-do lists, cleaning out the junk and putting the good bits into iGTD. I’ve dug up several quotes that I’d transcribed and saved for future, uh… blogging, probably. So, without further ado, I’ll record them here.
The first one comes from the Holy Bible—more specifically, the KJV of Isaiah 30.15. [...]
