back!
I came back from Thanksgiving vacation late last night, actually very early this morning. I had to wait to get a cab at the airport for around an hour, so I made it back to my apartment around 1:30am. I did have a fairly refreshing vacation: Not being near a library for a few days [...]
airport security
So as I was going through airport security, my bag got special attention because there was an “odd shape” inside it. If you are walking around with a souvenir melting clock keychain from the Salvador Dali Museum, take it out of your bag and put it in one of the handy plastic trays, lest security [...]
whew!
I taught 3 classes in a row this evening, now I’m all done for the semester! I’m so happy! Tomorrow I journey back to my hometown, a strange and mystical place where all the land is flat and surrounded by corn and soybean fields, two fake brothers travel around in a hot air balloon that [...]
Eww
I really don’t see him as Ash.

Now I’m resting up at home drinking a beer. Maybe that is not the brightest idea [...]

cheap manga and graphic novels
Yowza, Shawn Fumo posted about rumors of Comics One’s possible impending demise and pointed to this site, which seems to be liquidating a bunch of Comics One manga. I’m getting a few issues of Joan and buying Iron Wok Jan, which I have heard wonderful things about. Or maybe not, they have VERY high shipping [...]
short people got no reason to live
Sometimes I don’t like being short. Whenever I try to clear the snow off my car, I always have a hard time reaching the roof even with a long-handled show brush. So I end up driving around with a giant snow mohawk on the top of my car. And I was wandering around Target today, [...]
