Always…and never. Now all that’s left is just to keep holding my head up high and try to find a decent engine.
Soñando, deseando, haciendo
Rising Stuyvesant sophmores used to be required to take Drafting 1, and were then required to take either Drafting 2/Honors Drafting or Introduction to Computer Science. For once in my life, I went past the call of duty by not only taking Honors Drafting, but Intro to Compsci at the same time. To top it […]
“I just watched her make the same mistakes again”
Instead of writing what I would like to think about, perhaps I’ll write about what I am thinking about. Which, in fact, is nothing. Nothing at all. I’m feeling more listless now than I have all summer. My mind doesn’t think of quips, it doesn’t think of comforting words, it doesn’t think of conversation…it just […]
No sense risking a charm
Dryden: How did he die? Bond: Your contact? Not well. Dryden: Made you feel it, did he? Well, you needn’t worry, the second is- [Bond shoots Dryden] Bond: Yes, considerably. There will be no diatribe. We’re done, Cristen.
“Why don’t you have an Asian freak?”
The beach epitomizes nearly everything I react badly to. Sand gets everywhere and precludes everything but sandals (which I never wear), the Sun is blinding even when there isn’t an expanse of sand reflecting it, the heat causes me to break down, and extended periods in water have the same effect. But when I went […]
Talisman of…Everlasting Power?
Back in Stuy, there was a saying that often wormed its way into speeches or closing opinion pieces in the school newspaper, like that joke about laxative* that stopped being so funny after you’ve heard seven different comics say it in a row. (I am surprised neither was anyone’s yearbook quote.) Welcome to Stuyvesant High […]
You + Palm Pilot/Pocket PC + て
Getting out of school a month before your brother does and three weeks before your summer classes start leaves you with a lot of free time. I tried new games and tossed them away, tried old games and tossed them away, used Flash to make text glint, started reading military science fiction again, and visited […]

I’m back where the heart is.
Closure.
Every character in World of Warcraft is allowed to learn two tradeskills, things like blacksmithing or alchemy, though in WoW they’re called professions. Professions are like college educations; they put you deep into debt in order to complete, and they’re near-worthless until you finally do. Once you’ve learned all that you can, you want to […]
Impale – alcohol + Et Tu brut(e||US)
I’ve been an idiot for the past semester and a half, but I’m coming back to BU with a fresh batch of resolve. (Even though I spent a little too long dallying with the last bit of the title.)
