I think it’s time to do my quasi-yearly state of the union address.
Rather than just sit here and write a bunch of serious shit before Christmas, I decided to do something very “we want your ad revenue” like and drag this shit out this year! During my traditional post-Christmas serious funk I will present [...]
Who knows what terror lurks in the bowels of men?
The Shadow knows, and is still locked in his room unwilling to speak to anyone. I don’t blame him.
Recipe For Subtle Disaster:
Step 1: Microwave or bake a savory meal. Lasagna, chicken pot pie, Salisbury steak, it doesn’t matter.
Step 2: Take it into the nearest public restroom. [...]
It’s been awhile since you’ve had a Halloween story. Here’s one.
At the end of January 2006 I set about on what was going to be an unplanned, and almost two-year, fiction writing sabbatical. There were a lot of things causing this. Seminar papers and a senior thesis were the first major cause. I wouldn’t call [...]
I’m not pretending to be Dr. Hobart Nesay this time.
With excitement for the upcoming EPIX reaching a fever pitch (among its participants) and the event itself only just over a week away, I felt it was high time for some expert analysis on my part so that those following along on the big day know [...]
Imagine you are diving into a deep pool of water.
Your fingers pierce the surface of the pool, and your descent slows–almost exponentially–as your body inserts into the water.
By the time your head becomes submerged, it is almost as if time has stopped. You initially panic, for fear of drowning, but eventually realize that since [...]
The true story of nothing at all important.
I dislike the idea of having my books in boxes in the closet. And yet, until tonight a subset of admittedly unimportant books were in fact sitting there in boxes that once housed dozens of reams of paper. The reason for this was a lack of book shelf [...]
The past week has been full of days of stunning beauty as Fall brings its peculiar light and scent to the air. Now that that’s out of the way, bring the hate and pain.
I can only assume that the incoming crop of freshmen at Georgia State University are some sort of special needs students. Perhaps [...]
Welcome back to the year 2000. I said there’d be more.
Set One: February 2000
JR, believing I have just stolen his soul, in February 2000. The camera has the month, but not the date, correct.
The first picture I ever took of Ryann. She’d just met me when JR and I kidnapped her to be our lookout [...]
The yield of two hours of cleaning.
With regards to general cleanliness I am one of the neatest people I know. My general area will stay tidy enough, although perhaps dusty and I might need to vacuum more often. My bad habit is that areas less often traveled, such as closets, or those places one does [...]
This makes way more sense if you’ve played Bioshock.
Five easy steps!
Step One: Take out package of tuna.
Step Two: Throw that shit away.
Step Three: Open Tuna Helper box.
Step Four: Remove juicy steak and flavor packet.
Step Five: Grill that fucker.
I’m writing this feature listening to Aqua mixed with Sean Paul, proving that my mind as finally gone over.
Enjoying the single life again has meant bonding with the various objects in my kitchen. Since the departure of my last significant other my toaster and I have entered into a relationship that no woman could ever [...]
It’s basically a feature, but it’s been posted on the forum for active participation.
The meat of the feature lies beyond this link.
With all that’s been going on lately Jux has been spending a lot of time playing disc golf. I’ve got some pictures here of the madness. Some of these were taken by me, some by Kenny.
Foreground, Left to Right: Kenny, Travis, Scott’s hands, nose, and crotch.
I don’t know why they’re not both looking at the [...]
Living alone is weird when it’s been a long time since you’ve last done it.
I keep rattling around the apartment, looking at things and vaguely cleaning up. I realized today that Vivian and I lived together for exactly 1 year, because I took the key from her on July 11, 2007…and we moved into this [...]
It’s true!
This post is complete horseshit.
The past two/three weeks have been really bad for me, frito.
For approximately 10 years, I have been suffering from what I can only describe as anxiety attacks. I have seeked NO help whatsoever, until recently. Going to restaurants or traveling are HUGE catalysts (but not the only ones) for bringing on one of these attacks. [...]
We’re playing today, and I had to make up a few additional powers because it looks like we’re going over our 10-person expected turnout.
Basically, the standard rules of kickball apply, except for the changes as follows. Everyone is assigned a single super power, drawn randomly out of a hat, at the beginning of the game. [...]
This will soon be a series. It’s just too easy not to make. Though it will not be in MS paint next time.
This is a photography feature detailing the destruction of my desk during the writing of my seminar papers this semester. The wreckage is quite impressive. None of this was present at the beginning of January 2007.
The right half of my desk, showing several piles of books and printed out journal materials from JSTOR and such.
A [...]
This is the new hotness. Instead of playing baseball for our next sports day, I have created the single greatest game of all time. There is no point in even trying to play anything else anymore.
Basically, the standard rules of kickball apply, except for the changes as follows. Everyone is assigned a single super power, [...]
The second draft of my Intellectual History paper, and the one that was turned in to the professor.
All standard warnings apply. If you prick us, I shall bleed. If you copy us, you shall bleed for 10,000 days.
The Idea of Leisure: The Search for an Anachronism in Early Modern England (PDF)
So this week has been crazy, eh?
Have a happy little Feature!
This is the “final” draft of the Activities of the People paper that was previously posted on Jux. I turned it in to my professor on Wednesday.
The number of changes I’ve made is readily obvious. For one thing, the paper is almost three full pages shorter this time. The entire introduction and conclusion have been [...]
Intellectual History paper, with a rant about word processors included.
Some of you may remember my rant about Word last fall when I was working on my seminar papers for that semester. This time I decided to try something a little different. My Activities of the People paper was written entirely in Word, and believe it [...]
So, tomorrow all four of my impacted wisdom teeth are being removed by a man wearing white. I’m so glad they’re finally coming out. They hurt like hell. Though I do have to admit I’m a tad nervous about the procedure. (Not to mention how drugg’d up I’ll be for UFC and all other [...]
Yesterday I went through one of my photo folders, this one from September through December 2001, and for the first time ever scanned a bunch of photos. This is what resulted. Let’s look at the snapshot of my life from just before Jux began.
My first car, a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am GT V6.
Samantha ready for [...]
First draft time!
Standard plagiarism rules apply, of course. I will kill you. Possibly twice. Just don’t do it!
This is just the first draft, but I think it’s the best paper I’ve ever written, at least so far. Hopefully you’ll agree.
Read the article: Activities of the People: Sports and Games of the Populace in Early Modern [...]
When the lampreys come, will you be prepared?
As you may have heard, last Friday Sarah and I went to The Punchline for her friend’s birthday and saw a few stand up comedians perform. When we finally got home around 1:00 AM, there was something there to greet us, and it wasn’t our dog.
Attached to our [...]
Ever hear a song where you don’t understand a damn thing, but you sing to it anyway?
Also, check me out in that photo. I said, ”what, what- in the butt!”
I can’t help but love Hip-Hop.
The story of how Team Jux fought back against impossible odds and achieved victory for a second time.
The morning of March 3, 2007 dawned bright and ominous for the brave athletes of Team Jux. Their victory at the first Jux baseball game the month before had been pre-ordained; on this day, however, they faced impossible [...]
This is just something that’s here to make myself feel better by conveying how I feel. Yeah it’s stupid artsy Emo crap. Be happy I do this instead of yelling at people or something mean like that.
My friend Samantha posted her reasons for liking Valentine’s day on her journal. This is my response to her, and to everyone.
To explain why I hate Valentine’s Day, I’m going to have to step back into emo mode for a second. Please excuse me while I de-age by 6 years.
I used to love Valentine’s Day [...]
Graeme goes back into his log files to find out what we were doing on this day in text-encoded history.
