Misc. and Match
A couple of things related to the last few posts: 1. While looking through my bags (which are still only halfway unpacked) for a computer cable so that I could scan the Bhagavad-Gita the other night I found, wonders of wonders, an old, beat-up POG! A zombie POG even! I really wanted to scan it [...]

Faeries, Gitas and Bashin’
If my first creative writing class of the semester left me feeling inspired, my first lit class left me feeling quite numb. It is on epic and romantic literature, which I guess sounds good on paper, but in practice, it means we will be reading this book: It is gigantic. It is bigger than the [...]

My weapon of choice is MS_PAINT
A lot of my job involves the same thing every office job involves: the paper trails, the endless e-mails, the unfathomable memos, the crashing waves of existential angst, the giddy excitement of ordering boxes and boxes of pens, the acting need to act aloof when using the copier so that it doesn’t smell your fear [...]

My room is a lot bigger and my rent is a little less
I just moved into a new house. I’m kind of exhausted from packing and unpacking, so I’m not going to write much tonight, but I want to brag that I now live in a place that has: A washer and dryer! A dishwasher! Friendly roommates! A garage that isn’t crammed full of old junk! I [...]

OC Vagabond
I’m looking for a new place to stay. I’ve been in this little room in this little house for just over a year now. Never signed a lease because I wasn’t sure how long I was going to stick around. At the time I was considering leaving for Turkey to teach English for a year, [...]
