Sometimes I vanish for a few months at a time to go on spiritual journeys into the mountains. Although mostly I've just been busy with other things. My life has been beyond awesome recently, I got fired from my job that I loathed by my brand new manager, in the process got her, her branch, and her m...

I think its just some strange phobia of mine, thats not actually specific to spiders. In general, anything with more than 4 appendages freaks me out. And actually, the more appendages there are, the more freaked out I am. Centipedes and millipedes scares the shit out of me. That child that was born ...

Spiders fucking terrifying me.

I work in a bank, and we have a pretty strict code of ethics and conduct, but it never ceases to amaze me how incredibly and blatantly other bank employees violate it. Usually management. I've actually been given stern "Talking Tos" for following our ethics policies and trying to limit any...

Spent last night in a Karaoke box... Drank entirely too much gin. Also showed off my awesome Elvis impression.

Read The Blue Hotel by Stephen Crane yesterday and reread The Metamorphosis by Kafka so that I could write a paper on the two. Proceeded to overshoot the page limit on the paper by 2 pages, turned it in anyway. I don't think you should be allowed to take Introduction to Fiction when you already have...

Agreed, agreed, his translation really breaths new life into the text. I've always preferred the Odyssey to the Iliad, but that could just be that I was always exposed more to that one through school and such. There's a new novel out in paperback, Ransom by David Malouf, which is a dramatic retelli...

AHH FUCK YOU I want to see that SO BADLY but no one else does, and I can't really afford to see it in theaters right now. ARthyghghh. I tell myself that I can always afford to see movies I know will be good, its been a good policy, what with living so close to so many wonderful old theaters. As for...

My neighbors kindly made sure my packages weren't stolen off the front step. That's very kind of them. Bought the Robert Fagels translation of the Iliad. 'cause it's the best. It really is the best. I read some other translation in high school and loathed the book, then revisited it in my first yea...

Just got done watching The King's Speech, it was actually incredibly engaging. Dug it very much, would recommend highly. So, of the best picture crop this year I've seen 7/10, and would put them in this order in how much I enjoyed them, but not necessarily in terms of quality, thus: 1. 127 Hours 2. ...

I actually generally prefer to drink hard liquor when I'm out. Wild Turkey Bourbon being my signature beverage. BUT, I do love beer. A lot of beers are acquired tastes, and so some people just assume they are nasty tasting or what have you. I dont think it takes a particularly long time to learn to ...
