Serenity.

On Saturday, I went and saw Serenity. The audio cut out for about fifteen minutes during the first half, so we all got free movie passes at the end.

On Sunday, I went and saw Serenity again.

If I had $9.50 to spare, I would have gone and seen it again yesterday. Likewise, today. [...]

Riches and Glory.

Yesterday was Labor Day, and the afternoon full of friends and food and games. So full, in fact, that I didn’t get to some other errands until quite a bit later than I expected. The good news: I found some excellent Labor Day clearance sales on things I’d been needing for some time, [...]

Squirrely squirrels.

Yesterday I was playing frisbee golf on campus. After playing the course, we were shooting a couple of holes just for fun. While walking up to my second drive, I saw a squirrel frolicking in the grass beside my disc, which had landed next to a small tree in the center of the [...]

Adventures in Chicagoland.

My good friend and adopted sister1 Eleanor arrived Tuesday night for a visit. I picked her up at O’Hare with surprising little trouble (I don’t know what we would have done without instant flight status reports and cell phones, but it wouldn’t have been quite so easy). She planned to stay that night [...]

Oh Frabjous Day, Kaloo, Kalay (sorry Mike)

I sold my first article today. $35 for 370 words. You can see it here, at least for the next week or so.

This means that I am now a professional writer. I’m trying very hard to contain myself.

Channeling the rage.

Anyone who knows me at all knows that I’m fairly calm and mild-mannered. So, for those who do, please excuse the following digression—I’m probably overreacting. For those who don’t know me from Adam, well, I’m not always like this. Really, I’m not.

I’ve dabbled some in web design these past few years, and [...]

Update on the car.

Update on James’ car: $250 parts and labor to replace the fan belt (and unwind the old one from the fan) and fix some other minor things which James couldn’t remember from the receipt.

Thankfully, the doomsday scenarios didn’t pan out: the head gasket didn’t blow, and the engine block didn’t crack, either of [...]
