1) Got some of the paperwork done for my internship over summer, although the whole thing could potentially explode in my face. Tired of waiting around watching flights fill up and ticket prices soar, I went in today with the resolve to walk out with some plane tickets. And I did. And now I’m freaking… Read more
You know, this insurance I’ve got is truly top notch. Notably, section 12, which covers me for up to $8000, at $1000 per day, for time spent “forcibly detained on a means of public transport which has been hijacked”. ’cause you know, when I’m sitting in a plane that’s been taken over by terrorists, the… Read more

Maybe I’m just too… Read more
1) Did some good journalling. I really thought my “+1” piece was quite well written – to me it conveys most of what I was trying to say, without dissolving into a puddle of digressions, context-less rants, and other such gunk that all-too-typically pervades my more emotional writing. Really, it’s why I started writing this… Read more
