I cut up my credit card this evening. It all started at about 6:00PM today; a young man came over to our apartment to purchase one of my guitars that I don’t really play. I got a cool five hundred for it, and that’s pretty sweet. Anyways, I drove over to the local bank to deposit the cash… you know, …

Clarity
There was a post yesterday afternoon at Pharyngula, it linked to a video statement by Richard Dawkins about “New” Atheists and clarity. I think that’s just wonderful. It startles me that there are people who take this kind of clarity, this honesty, as hostility. I don’t think that there can be any sort of productive discussions on a matter if one …
Personal Space
It seems as though the people of Calgary have lost their sense of personal space. At least, when it comes to public transit. There should be weight sensors in all of the trains that prevent the train from moving if there is too much weight in any one car. Then they should set the maximum …
Over/Under
Whelmed. I like that word but I find it strange that the common Internet definitions of it often include “Overwhelmed” as a definition. That is questionable to me. In fact, I am underwhelmed with any positive emotions by that lazy definition. See how that works? If I am underwhelmed, then I have not yet reached a state of whelmedness, and if I am overwhelmed, …
Everybody jump aboard the failboat!
Well, that wouldn’t be a very good idea now would it. I’m great at making excuses, I could invent one right now. You know what for… But I won’t I’ll just pretend that nothing happend and get on with this thing. I’m moving tomorrow. It’s the right time to do it for me. As much as I’m afraid of …
Books I should be reading.
I have a pile of books that have been accumulating for a while now. I’ve read a small part of each of them and I want to finish them, but I’m having difficulty choosing a starting point. (Actually, I just made the decision now on which I will read first, but I’m still lost for number two…) Seven Steps on the Writer’s Path: …
Sometimes, this is me…
xkcd — A Webcomic — Superlative. I don’t mind though. Someone has to be the boring one :-P
Sooo bored.
And a little bit stressed about money. My current job either needs to provide a raise, or full time hours, or I need a new job. All of those options are difficult to ask for. Difficult to talk about even. It’s been a very long time since I’ve had stress about money. I’m not used to it. It was so eazy …
My daily routine.
For your approval, something about myself. I’m not really very interesting though. I’m also terrible at remembering details. My past is a haze really, a few points stand out but the details and events leading to those points are clouded and ephemeral. It’s tough to tell a story that has nothing but a couple of climaxes with no back …
Okay! Writin’ stuff
I have a notebook in my pocket. Ostensibly this is so that if I have a sudden inspiration to write, or some random idea jumps in to my head and I must tell the world about it, I have a place to take notes. I can jot down a bit of an outline so that the thought or idea doesn’t get lost in …
