When I get paid, I’m gonna set up a new Skype In account, so I’ll be able to get phone calls whenever I’m in WiFi range. (A friend gave me his old Nokia e61i, and I’ve got Fring running on it, so I’ll get calls that way.) So if you have my GrandCentral number, you […]

No More Phone.
My free Sprint Ambassador account stopped working today. So I don’t have a phone. I don’t know when I’ll have one, either — chalk it up to depression, but at the moment I don’t really care. If you need to talk to me, I’m reachable by e-mail, the comments on this site, MySpace, Facebook, Skype, […]
Your Advice: Organization For A Profoundly Disorganized Man
So, um, I didn’t kill anybody last night. Or get drunk. In fact, I decided to get my bedroom clean and neat and organized. Some personal details here: I live, at the moment, with my parents, for complicated reasons, primarily financial. This means I live in a bedroom smaller than any of the ones I […]
To Catch A Douchebag
Last night, some silly little cocksucker stole my friend Amanda’s camera from the Coffee Bean while she was hanging out talking to me. Fortunately, he was a stupid silly little cocksucker…and consequently, the entire incident was captured on tape. We’ve got him red-handed. If we can find him. So: do you know this douchebag? If […]
Temporarily Phoneless
For the past year or so, I’ve been using a free Sprint Ambassador cellphone. That service ends today, and since I owe Sprint money on my normal Sprint account (which I couldn’t afford to pay last February or so), and can’t afford the deposit I’ll undoubtedly have to pay, I can’t just get it turned […]
Sometimes You Just Want The Night To Be Over.
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the nature of depression, following Heath Ledger’s death. (Though now it appears that he may not have killed himself after all, which makes me deeply regret my earlier comments, though they were made out of a heartfelt anger that someone as talented as Ledger, with a small child, […]
Holy Shit.
The Monte Carlo is on fire. I can see the smoke from my house. But it looks like it might be almost out, based on the live news footage. How is the outside of the Monte Carlo burning? Isn’t it, like, concrete? I don’t mean to sound daft, but I don’t understand what could be […]
Many Worlds
Stranger than fiction: parallel universes beguile science – INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos Is the universe — correction: “our” universe — no more than a speck of cosmic dust amid an infinite number of parallel worlds? A staple of mind-bending science fiction, the possibility of multiple universes has long intrigued hard-nosed physicists, mathematicians and cosmologists […]
Wikipedia doesn't love me
A while ago, somebody put up a Wikipedia entry for my “Grim Meathook Future” essay. I followed it and created an entry for myself, which I thought was okay — it’s just a bio stub, nothing especially self-promotional, just a sort of “hey, this is who this person is”. Apparently, the powers-that-be at Wikipedia want […]
Naked City Story # 931,258
Unnerving experience this morning. I spent all night at Starbucks, redesigning Zenarchery, and headed for the bus stop (and home) around 6:30 am. The 24 hour Starbucks I go to is at the corner of Flamingo and Paradise, and the bus stop is a half-block east on Flamingo, directly in front of Terrible’s Casino. (You […]
