From the land of Winter Break: Pt. II

By Justin | January 10, 2009

We used to get The Patriot Ledger delivered to the house, but my dad canceled our subscription, probably about a year ago. That newspaper has really gone downhill in the past few years. Instead of news, it’s mostly big images, chunky text, useless graphic design, and features lacking newsworthiness. About the only section that’s still [...]

From the land of Winter Break: Pt. I

By Justin | January 6, 2009

Most, or perhaps all, of my attempts at writing something comprehensive and meaningful have failed lately, because it’s become very difficult to place my experiences and feelings into one overarching narrative. While at school, it’s somewhat easier, because I am in a routine and have obligations and schedules and interactions and reflections. In contrast, my [...]

A memorable weekend, for sure

By Justin | October 27, 2008

We, um, “acquired” a McCain-Palin yard sign on Saturday night. We then used said sign in a series of photos involving an assault rifle, a chain of bullets, and a blow-up doll named Sarah Jessica Porkher. A carton of chocolate milk and a synthetic beard and wig also played supporting roles. Overall, it was a [...]

Summer, in smaller chunks than desired

By Justin | June 3, 2008

Summer proceeds, though in smaller chunks than desired. Working five days a week is a bummer, especially when those five days include Friday night, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday. Nevertheless, being trapped inside for five days of the week makes me appreciate all the more those few days off, and soon after waking [...]

Taking down the pool, and woodland animals

By Justin | May 24, 2008

Since we hadn’t opened our pool in a few summers, we decided to take it down. Or, well, my dad and I decided to take it down. My mom was a bit less enthusiastic, since she tended to use it a lot. But, aside from my mom, no one used it very much anymore, and [...]

The perfect ending to my Spring Break

By Justin | March 20, 2008

With its characteristic boxy numerals, the dashboard provides a telling clue: 3:29 AM. Rain continues to fall, gentler now, as I turn off the radio, rotate the key out of the ignition, and grab my jacket from the back seat. I open the door, place my feet on the ground and stand on the driveway, [...]

Short remarks as the semester begins

By Justin | January 22, 2008

It’s 10 o’clock the night before classes begin; I’m feeling pretty good. Tomorrow I have Order and Planning in the History of Economic Thought, as well as Politics and Piety in Early Christianities. Tommy pointed out that the Christianities class is a discussion-based course with only twenty students. ::Gulp:: I need to work on that [...]

Another disjointed entry with no main point

By Justin | January 14, 2008

Sometimes it’s best just to spill the contents of one’s mind, I think. And this post is an example of such spillage. I woke up to a beautiful snowstorm, the kind with the heavy, wet snow that sticks to everything and makes all the tree branches sag until they touch the ground. The flakes were [...]

Totally disjointed tired-blogging

By Justin | January 14, 2008

I’m pretty tired so I’m just going to go on in random and non-connected sentences. I’ve got less than a week until I’m back at Wesleyan. Today I sorted a bunch of things out and made a sort-of action plan for the rest of the week. I’m working with my dad for at least two [...]
