Deal with Disability

I was directed to this blog via someone on Twitter, and while I usually don’t take the time to read through someone’s entire blog, I couldn’t stop reading when I checked this one out.  Eva is a 26-year-old woman with Cerebral Palsy who has a video camera attached to her wheelchair so that she can [...]

Band Dies in Blaze

Cakescakescakescakes…

Matt and I, being the lazy shlubs that we are after about 7:30 p.m., have become quite familiar with the TLC/HGTV/Slice/Food Network program selection these days.  One of the shows that we stumbled upon and both really like is called Ace of Cakes.  It’s a ‘reality’ show that follows the everyday goings on at Charm [...]

Thru You

My brother showed me this site this morning.  Kutiman, a DJ from Israel, mixes videos from YouTube to create awesome music and with videos to match.  I can’t imagine having to dig through all the garbage on YouTube – or getting any creative work done when there are cat blooper reels to watch – so [...]

I’d rather be (insert anything here)

It’s 9:08 p.m., I have 19 more papers to mark for tomorrow, and there’s a fucking blizzard outside right now.  Snow, in March.  Snow, and lots of it.  Earlier this week people’s basements were flooding, and now we’re right back to mid-January and I kind of want to drink some floor cleaner and call it [...]

Amusing Myself to Death

Searching for weird shit to watch online or articles to read or new shit to get hip to has been my bag lately, as this winter has been a long and brutal one and has left me as but a shell of my former self.  Pasty white from sitting inside all day, with increasingly terrible [...]

Perks

I’ve been meaning to write something about this for a while, but haven’t had the chance to sit down and hammer it out.  It seems like lately the weeks are flying by, the weekends even faster, and I never have time to do anything outside of work, the gym, and sleep.  That’s why I’m writing [...]

An aside

It’s really distracting, and telling, to be typing on a laptop on a desk that is right underneath a giant mirror.  It’s distracting because I catch a glimpse of myself with my “concentrating” face every now and then, and realize that’s what other people see when I’m concentrating (read: I look constipated and/or like I could [...]

On the procrastination front

In my ever-widening search to find new and exciting ways to waste my time and procrastinate from doing any real work, I’ve become enthralled with Twitter.  It’s essentially another blog host, however each post you make can only be a maximum of something like 140 characters.  So it’s a fancy way to update all the [...]

No time like the present…

I’m sitting at work trying my best to avoid the temptations of online celebrity gossip and get to work on the very last classroom assignment of my academic career. You’d think that considering this is the last assignment I have to complete before I can get down to brass tacks on my thesis, I’d [...]
