Cold. This foul eve must have been suckled at the breast of a cruel enchantress. Mark and I poked around town putting up posters for the Head of the Lakes concert, and we successfully inundated Duluth with 17 of the... Keep reading this entry »
In my continuing quest to divert my attention from school and be less bored, I took apart my optical mouse today. Cool. The mousewheel works with an infrared LED. It shines through tiny slits in the wheel at a detector... Keep reading this entry »
It's been a long day. Just fired off the last of three articles for this week's Statesman. One piece on Sunny Wicked's show at the Spring Fling, a piece on Best Buy that may seem strangely familiar, and an op/ed... Keep reading this entry »
Feelin' kind. Feelin' groovy. It's been a splendid weekend. I ate a tasty "Kolester-All Surprise" bacon cheeseburger at the Gold Nugget on Excelsior last night. Washed it down with Pabst. Discussed with parents how close St. Paul got to being... Keep reading this entry »
[INITIATE DATA DUMP] Hoo boy, this one is gonna be a doozy. Hopefully I can stick with it until the bitter end. If the words cut off and are are suddenly replaced with static, it means I got bored. Outdoor... Keep reading this entry »
02202002 Damn. Today's date looks like some new kind of binary. Ever since Microsoft patented 1's (the Supreme Court just recently decided they couldn't have 0's because those all belong to Enron, now) programmers have been looking for a way... Keep reading this entry »
There is no today. See you tomorrow.... Keep reading this entry »
I have no idea where this is going, but it's probably in a handbasket, bound for some warm locale. February. Birkenstocks. 54 degrees. Microfilm machines kick the ass of any computer, hands down. Computers are so common they don't mean... Keep reading this entry »
This weekend was fun. Friday night was Wuda Fisk, where a whole pile of Woochers dressed up, got together, ate potluck and danced with lamps pretending to be James Brown. I wore a tuxedo, but even my style met challenge... Keep reading this entry »
Today's weather forecast: Spring Today's mental forecast: Spring I got a great idea for my first book last weekend, and today after some false starts with search engines I started gathering sources. What I learned: The Star Tribune came into... Keep reading this entry »
I wanted pants. The world need not be exposed to my male lower-portion. I studied the pants hanging in my closet and found a pair that suited my fancy for the day: grey Target janitor pants. Ever so delicately I... Keep reading this entry »
Lately I feel my creativity has not been nurtured properly. School makes me want to cry in boredom as my soul is sucked out of my ears and fed into stacked mason jars in a cold, damp basement. But I... Keep reading this entry »
Lots of weird people go to Walmart at 1:00 on a Sunday morning. The sunken eyes and harsh glares said they blamed me for their odd shopping habits. By the look of the customers, Walmart must offer an oozing face... Keep reading this entry »
Whenever I go to the library to work on my laptop, there is always the same guy sitting in the same cube by the window. The fellow sits with amazing posture and has dark, bushy eyebrows that communicate an inner... Keep reading this entry »
I have a new writing technique that I call forehead/desk formatting. I use it often when I'm having troubles getting words down on the page, but I think it may actually cause more problems than it solves. Brain damage, four... Keep reading this entry »
Augh. I've got three journalism classes this semester, and as someone that doesn't like journalism all that much, it's a lot of journalism to stomach. Well, I've decided that if they're gonna make a journalist out of me I get... Keep reading this entry »
There was a splendid party at a band nerd house last night. I ended up in women's clothing early on, and later set this away message on Geoff's computer: I have boobies, and this font makes me want to drink... Keep reading this entry »
One year. Cromlech officially went active a year ago today. At the time I was toying with the idea of changing my major to something besides music, and I started Cromlech as an experiment to develop my writing and see... Keep reading this entry »
