compulsive compartmentalization

Captured thoughts…on exhibit in the zoo that is the blog-o-sphere.

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton

crazy productivity thwarted

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005

This week I had planned on getting crazy productive with my comic book…and I did. For a day. I cranked out an unprecidented two pages on monday and had them fully inked by Tuesday. Then I ran out of paper. I had ordered some on the 17th, and emailed the company [...]

A heartwarming Easter tale…

Monday, March 28th, 2005

Last night I had to slam on brakes to keep from hitting a car that had to stop for a car that had to stop for a car that had to stop for two cars that were turning…slowly.
My anti-lock brakes kicked in, allowing me enough time to realize that I was going to [...]

springing into the break

Thursday, March 24th, 2005

Spring break is upon us, and you know what that means. Yep….whiny kids. It was like being in a middle school on mandatory stab-yourself-in-the-eye day….”I don’t wanna” “Do we have to?” “Why??” “I’m so whiny” “blah blah blah whine blah blah”
Sheesh. I’ve pretty much wasted my time [...]

to sleep, perchance to dream

Monday, March 21st, 2005

Today I felt a little off. I’m not exactly sure why, I just wasn’t on top of my game. That is, if I have a game. And even then, maybe I’m never really on top of it. Now that I think about it, what game is it that goes your way [...]

Random Saturday Night Musings

Saturday, March 19th, 2005

Tonight we had a little family shindig for my mom’s 61st birthday. Most of which I spent on the floor wrestling with my two year old nephew.
This last week I’ve experienced a strange feeling. It’s the experience of not minding going to work, and actually enjoying myself when I’m there. [...]

I just got back from school where I graded my first set of papers. Actually I did the end of quarter grades as well. Behold the power I weild.
It took me all day and I didn’t nearly get done with all that I had planned. Part of which was getting out of [...]

in sickness and in stress…

Sunday, March 13th, 2005

I’m still working on my con recap. The reason for the delay is that last week was a bit stressful and I came down with a fever at the end of it. The past two days have been spent on the couch drifting in and out of sleep while flipping between bad [...]

The Con-Intermission

Monday, March 7th, 2005

I’m in the middle of typing up my Saturday/Sunday con report…I haven’t forgotten. I just thought I’d take a brief intermission to comment on my sudden teacherhood.
I’m teaching a computing class for the rest of the semester at the high school I’m interviewing with. What that means is, for the next 3 months [...]

Con report - Thursday and Friday

Thursday, March 3rd, 2005

A week ago this time I had just arrived in Orlando after a leisurely 10 hour drive. We were staying in a nicely used Day’s Inn with 1970’s decor and bathtowels that could have been used to sand down furniture. We were always one washcloth short, and the air conditioner kept [...]
