Grr…

God…bloody…dammit!
I need to have a precis and annotated bibliography done for my American Lit class tomorrow, and it's just not bloody happening. I can't even think up a topic – whatever argument I come up with, I can't seem to think of anything to support it with. It's not like there's a lack [...]

And for more weird weather…

This morning as I drove down to university housing, it was snowing pretty hard. It was still to warm for any of it to really collect, but it was making an honest-to-god effort to be winter again. Then, oddly enough, as I got to housing, the snow turned into hail. A lot [...]

…and a slightly less typical opinion-type piece.

In case anyone is unaware, I'm a fairly regular reader of Something*Positive, one of the more popular webcomics on the Internet. This particular comic is well known for both its brightly-colored artwork and its consistently snarky and sarcastic sense of humor.
Lately someone wrote up a critique of this comic, calling it “relentlessly mean-spirited”. [...]

A typical journal-type update…

It's trying so very, very hard to snow outside, and doing a pretty good storm imitation…unfortunately, the ground's too warm and none of it's collecting.

I've found myself wanting to go somewhere recently. I'm not sure where, but springtime often makes me want to travel. Last year at this [...]

And on a completely unrelated note…

“Dashboard Confessional” is higher on the list of most popular LJ interests than “TV”, “internet”, “parties” or “alcohol”.
For some reason this amuses me greatly.

"Hurrah for sun, in all its glory/The weather here is quite the story…"

Since I haven't updated in a while, I'm just going to do a brief rundown of things, mostly by subject…
Weather: The weather here has been glorious the past couple of days. Bright sun, few clouds, snow and ice both melting rapidly. There's still a bit of a chill in the air, especially [...]

Boo. Yeah.

In addition to a lack of vibrations (I think the parking brake might've been partway on but I'm not sure), my car has a new rear windshield, and the defogger works now…admittedly, not as strongly as I'd like, but that's still better than what it used to do (i.e. zilch). I also came out [...]
