So, about those missing cross-posts. Here is the longest of them. It was originally written as an editorial, but was turned down pretty universally. I later began to rewrite it, but never got around finishing the rewrite until months later. This is the result:

You'll have to forgive me. This was intended to be posted months ago. I don't imagine it to be anywhere near...

It occurs to me that there are a few posts I haven't actually cross-posted here. Huh. You've all probably been wondering if I fell off the face of the earth. Again. I'll admit, it is a fascinating thing to do, but it's entirely too time-consuming to do so on a regular basis. So, no, I have not. I've just been careless, apparently. I would post...

So, I was listening to Cusive's The Ugly Organ earlier today and began wondering if they were stopping by Chicago anytime soon, having never seen them live. Turning to their website I was somewhat disappointed to see they would not be stopping by anytime soon. It came to mind, though, while I liked their music, I didn't really know much about them. As a result,...

So yeah, I just came in from stepping in outside and the first thing on my mind was, "I'm going out somewhere in this?" It's the middle of the day. This is allegedly the warmest part of our current twenty-four hour cycle and the temperature (without wind chill) is already in the negatives. Ugh, I wish my coat weren't at the cleaners right now. Don't...

Did anyone else notice the description for BarakObama.com in Google changed recently? Less than a week ago it said Barak Obama had confirmed his run for the presidency, something that there was nothing about on the site itself. Now if you Google it, it says nothing of the sort. I would like to say this reveals something, but in reality there is no way to...

It's not been very long, but it feels strange to go back and read my previous post. My writing usually isn't very self-indulgent, but I can't help but feel the last post reads like I was padding my ego. This makes me wish I remembered precisely where I was trying to go with the post when I first wrote that beginning to it months ago,...

Cross-posted from my LJ...I really need to set up a real blog with Movable Type.

So I logged onto my Livejournal today intent on making a post more based in politics than existential/intellectual frustrations, but Livejournal surprised me by asking if I wanted to restore from draft. Not knowing what I would see, but also not wanting to loose anything I had written, I said...

So, LA looks like nice place, and I might want to live there, at least for a while, but I have to get to know it a bit more before coming to a decision. Since I was visiting LA with family, I didn't really get to see much of the city proper. Most of the trip was spent at Huntington Beach where I had a...

I realize I have a horrible tendency to disappear for significant periods of time. My apologies to everyone about this. I don't hate you all. Really. I'm just terrible at that sort of thing. Either way, I'll be off to LA for Thanksgiving in just over twenty-four hours time. As I do before most of my travels, no matter how small, I feel indescribably odd....

So, I tend to not like Ticketmaster. In addition to the ridiculous fees they charge, their existence is nonsensical these days. I see how they could have been useful at some point in the distant past, but justifying their fees, leave alone their functionality, in these glorious days of teh intarwebs is not something I feel can honestly be done. Then there's the Double Door....

I am worried about my writing sometimes because I don't know where to start. It's an odd thing to worry about. Regardless, it seems I will be going to LA to spend Thanksgiving with my sister, and will be around for a week. It'll be nice to see her again, as, by that point, I wil not have seen her for six months. Also, I...

Why can't more people have coups like Thailand's? While, as a rule, I tend to not endorse military upheaval of civil government, their coup strikes me as perfectly respectable. Also, though apart from the notion that she's a songstress of some sort, I really have no idea who Jesse McCartney is, I'm sorely tempted to buy her latest album. Really, it's all I've been...
