A memorable weekend, for sure

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

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

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 maintaining [...]

The perfect ending to my Spring Break

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, looking [...]

Short remarks as the semester begins

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

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 big [...]

Totally disjointed tired-blogging

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 [...]

Justin writes the DCR

But will he get a response to his civic-minded email? And will the problem be fixed? Those are the questions that really matter.
Hello,
I recently took a walk through Ames Nowell State Park in Abington, while home on break. While crossing the boardwalk, I noticed that it had had some repairs done, and the old, rotting, [...]

You know who else walked on water…

So today, I walked on water. Across the entire length of a pond full of water. I also took some decent photos with my iPhone while walking on said water. Full details will be forthcoming tomorrow, because I’ve been awake for over 23 consecutive hours and it’s time for bed, at 7:00 PM.
Though I am [...]
