There is a fine line \ Between genius and madness. \ It is called timing.
Jorenko called me not too long ago to tell me that he is in my old neighborhood in Chicago, looking at all my favorite restaurants and trying to find one to go to. He almost went to Taco & Burrito House, where I would get $5 gigantic chicken nacho platters. Thinking of his calorie intake,…
I write likeDavid Foster Wallace I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing! I ran through this several times with difference pieces of writing, and David Foster Wallace is the only one that came up more than once (three times so far). My fiction apparently reads like Rowling, Lovecraft, and a few…

(Originally written some time in early 2002 as a “How To” paper for Comp 101. It amuses me now that I spend a fair bit of time writing how-to documents for work.) Like any other restaurant, the food prepares of Taco Bell must learn certain abbreviations that mean the names of products and their alterations….

I’m in the market for building a new PC. I also haven’t really kept up on what is awesome in hardware since high school. I am now seeking the help of those who HAVE been paying attention to give me suggestions for the most awesome bits and pieces to slap together into a monster that…
The next morning young Esben found his throat aching from all the talking he’d done the day before. He ate and drank in silence for the day until the Meddyg’s promised visit came. She brought with her this time another ofyddian dressed in armor and armed with a sword. He stood a foot higher than…
Esben regarded his past as a series of trials to achieve his ultimate goal of never having to lift a finger for himself again. Having finally succeeded at this goal, he found he had far too little to do and spent most of his time regarding his past adventures. He found it much more fun…
A few years back when Jorenko and I still had the dream of making video games, we came up with the concept of making a music-based platformer that, if you did everything exactly right in the run through, you got a great song by the end of it. Of course, we gave up on that…
We’d walked for some time in silence through the cave below my home. The only light was from the two small gems Magistrate Cefin and I wore around our necks. They were each smaller that a little finger nail, but they emit enough light to show us a ten foot radius of our surroundings. Cefin…
Consider this a rough draft. Feel free to let me know if I did anything stupid. The woman tapped her forehead with two fingers on her right hand. The man furled his brow as he thought about what that might mean. Meanwhile, I watched. “Why do you keep asking me these questions?” the woman asked,…
I decided to call Allcare again to try and get things taken care of since 1) the voicemails I left 04-22 were never acknowledge by way of returning my call and 2) the email I sent never received a response. So today, I left a voicemail for their billing department again. I then called the…
Allcare dental sent me a bill claiming it’s over 90 days old(which it would be, since we haven’t been there since last July). However, everything (exam and cleaning for two adults, no fluoride) was covered by our insurance, and this is the first I’ve heard of us owing them anything. I called their billing number. I’m…
Concerning yourselves with how you paint rather than what!
Memento Mori, “To This Favour,” 1879 Oil on canvas William Michael Harnett (American, born Ireland, 1848-1892) The Latin Term memento mori describes a traditional subject in art that addresses mortality. In Harnett’s example, the extinguished candle, spent hourglass, and skull symbolize death. A quote from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, inscribed on the inside cover of a…
Before reading this I feel it is important to understand the context under which it was written. This is an Art History class for non-art majors, focusing on the renaissance through cubism. This is for exam two. The class is two hours long, and the first portion of the test is fill-in-the-blank coupled with viewing…
We got Dagwood a year ago. He was previously owned by a crazy cat hoarder that lost her home. All the cats were put up for adoption and he was lucky enough to be adopted by couple in North Royalton. They found that this adult cat was not compatible with their golden retriever and advertised…
