Last weekend I received a mediocre hair cut and went back today to have it fixed by another person.  Being the only man in the salon as well as having the only stylist not chatting nicely.  Her morbid and depressing answers nicely proved why she probably didn’t talk unless provoked.

After FNM we underwent an epic quest to acquire Rock Band which involved around 38 miles of driving and breaking into the store-room of a K-mart.  In my mind it wasn’t breaking and entering in that the door was open and we had a legitimate purpose in being there so the manager [...]

My first day back at Bristol-Myer Squibb proved interesting as the employment firm had failed to properly tell my boss that I’d return today.  Much of the day was cobbling together odd jobs as I had no computer or access to many of the lab devices without the appropriate login.  At [...]

Now that school’s over my brain wasn’t quite sure what to do so I started the day at 6:00 PM Saturday by reading the Penny Arcade comic strip for about 5 hours.  Following that, I did some Christmas shopping for my father who’s come up with an odd Christmas list.  As he [...]

I wanted to get my brother a USB headset so everyone can hear his dullardy comments whilst playing Team Fortress 2 and purchased a headset from eBay used.  The posting contained considerable Engrish and shipped from Anytown, USA.  I popped open the box to check that they were working and thought [...]
