I didn’t go out for New Year’s Eve....

Once again, R.I.P. Danny. I’m so sorry.
R.I.P. Danny Crowle
Here is the text of an email I just recieved: “I just heard some very sad news, Dan Crowle, who is/was a recent BCA student at CMU went to high school with me, and I just heard word that he passed away yesterday. I wasn’t sure if you knew him or if he had just graduated… but in case you did know him, I thought you would like to know.” Danny helped out with A-OK, but I got...
BBC Censor's Bhutto's Interview. →
Big surprise, huh? Osama must still be alive out there, sending audio and video to scare us at the right time!
Here's an interesting documentary. →
The conversation below is proof of how weird and awkward I am sometimes. I never know what to say, or I say something dumb. Bring on the big city and all its big city folk.
Awkward Conversations at KMart
Me: Hey, how are you?
Girl From Home I Know: Good, how are you?
Me: I'm okay . . . So you're engaged now, hey?
GFHIK: Yep.
Me: Wow, that's weird, eh?
GFHIK: Yeah, I suppose so. I'm still getting used to it.
Me: Heh, yeah . . .
GFHIK: Well, happy new year. I'm sure I'll see you again in a year or something.
Me: Yeah, you too. See you later.
If you want to see something scary, look up “FEMA camps” on Google video.
It’s 6:03 a.m. and I’m still awake.
I’ve been having really bad short term memory lately. I’ll think of something I’m going to do, and when I go to do it two seconds later, I can’t remember what it was. Good sign.
I’m starting to feel like the departure date of January 1 that I set for myself is too soon. I don’t know if I’m going to be ready without feeling a little rushed. I have a few more things I need to take care of and I don’t know if I can accomplish them all by Tuesday. Plus, I kind of want to be a little more confident in having a place to live without inconveniencing...
I’ve decided not to bring all of my CDs with me to California. So, I’m going to be spending the next few days ripping all the ones I want to have with me. Fun!
I wish there was a clear-cut guide somewhere online on how to consolidate student loans. I’m so confused. Private, federal, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Martini Accidents
Mix one part gin, one part vodka, two parts peppermint schnapps, one part Squirt, and a splash of grenadine. Shake with ice and pour. Yum! Nyquil flavor without the annoying effects!
I rented the first season of Rescue Me and I just finished watching it. I need to see the second season as soon as possible, but the video rental place doesn’t have it.
I just realized I’ve forgotten to get Christmas gifts for anyone. Sorry!
I think Matthew Good will be playing in Los Angeles somewhere between March 9 and 16. I sure hope I can make it.
Note to self: Don’t be polite and say hello to people you used to know. They don’t remember you. And their friends just think you were trying to hit on them even though you weren’t. Oh, I love this town!
WatchCheap drinks at home. I’m on a vidblogging rampage. It’s pretty fun.
WatchVisiting Mike at work yesterday.
I just bought a juicer. Organic carrots and apples taste good together. I think I might try fasting in a couple days.
I’m home and I’m very tired.
My room is just about empty. I’ve got to drop off my apartment keys, visit Mike at work, and put Michael’s mini-refrigerator he found in the dorms and let me borrow at a secure location. Then maybe I’ll stop by Mountain Town and fill up my growler one last time, and finally I’ll stop at Meijer and see if they have the freshly released Rivers Cuomo album. Then it’s...

“Did you make a “reservation” with U-Haul only to find that they...”

Do you ever feel like you just totally jinxed yourself? That’s what I feel like right now, by being psyched up and positive.
Today while I was in the shower, my voicemail intercepted two pieces of bad news. After following them up, this is what I know: Despite making a reservation with Uhaul for a trailer, there aren’t any trailers available for me to pick up tomorrow. They did say they had one, but it was over an hour away. And at the moment, I really don’t feel like I have to drive that far. So what does...
