My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2010-3-7) -

Just relaxing, watching some Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman and—what is this? A free copy of Fantastic Mr. Fox in my box of Shreddies?! Yes! Best cereal box prize ever!

Hah, so jealous right now.

In England, cereal boxes come with books. In America, they come with toys. Go figure.

the real question is why strongmen don’t wear clothing scaled to their physique, only the incredible hulk has a plausible excuse and even HE takes care of it when it comes to his party shorts

“there can be a little bit of an unhelpful whirlpool of cleverness that eats its own tail and, having spent a little time in that, it wasn’t always the best company to keep and it wasn’t the people I was used to.” —

This whole interview is excellent. I love Dave Eggers.

i will learn how to love a person and then i will teach you and then we will know, Tao Lin

poetry365:

seen from a great enough distance i cannot be seen
i feel this as an extremely distinct sensation
of feeling like shit; the effect of small children
is that they use declarative sentences and then look at your face
with an expression that says, ‘you will never do enough
for the people you love’; i can feel the universe expanding
and it feels like no one is trying hard enough
the effect of this is an extremely shitty sensation
of being the only person alive; i have been alone for a very long time
it will take an extreme person to make me feel less alone
the effect of being alone for a very long time
is that i have been thinking very hard and learning about existence, mortality
loneliness, people, society, and love; i am afraid
that i am not learning fast enough; i can feel the universe expanding
and it feels like no one has ever tried hard enough; when i cried in your room
it was the effect of an extremely distinct sensation that ‘i am the only person
alive,’ ‘i have not learned enough,’ and ‘i can feel the universe
expanding and making things further apart
and it feels like a declarative sentence
whose message is that we must try harder’

Our Refrigerator is Gross

me: Josh, what’s in that Cool Whip container in the back of our fridge?
Josh: (upon opening) Disgusting. It looks like little smokies. When did we have those?
me: I’m not sure, but they can’t be older than Thanksgiving. We cleaned everything out, remember?
(pause)
Josh: JD, it’s March.

Welcome to my world.

Remember festering meat water?

The last three words there are where horror stories begin.

Mid-Term Update

Finished my paper for Contemporary Drama at like 6:30 a.m. on Thursday. Slept until 10:30, went to class and took my Contemporary Drama mid-term.

Got home at 3:30 p.m., ate a meal at 4:00, slept from roughly 5:30 to 8:30.

Woke up, spent a little sanity time. Now I’m working on a paper for Film Appreciation.

I’m shooting for 8 hours of sleep tonight. Wish me luck!

EDIT: 2:31 a.m. on Friday. Paper complete! 8+ hours of sleep, here I come.

My poster: We had to take a photograph of our animal and put it into an “environment”.

You are awesome.

4:10am at Old Town Donut Shop

Mid-terms. Am I doing it right?

I finally cracked and created a flavors.me. I need better resolution photos of myself…

I discovered this thing a few days ago, and created one for myself. I need to find my tripod so I can just photograph myself and get it over with.

I’d consider actually coughing up the $20 to use a custom domain, and making that the new frontpage for thegnomeproject.net.

I’ve not heard about this yet. Seems kind of interesting.

You should just point “thegnomeproject.net” to your “flavors.me” page and then create the subdomain “blog.thegnomeproject.net” and point that to your tumblr. No money spent. ;-)

Hmm, yeah. Actually, I guess I could kind of do that using DNS A-records from my webhosting dashboard. The thing right now is that Tumblr is actually where my domain resolves. It doesn’t resolve back at Dreamhost and then get forwarded to here. Maybe, using A-records, I could still make it look professional? I’ll look into it this weekend. This is a crazy week with regard to midterm stuff.

EDIT: Who am I kidding? I’ll probably give this a shot tonight while I’m supposed to be studying for my midterm in, and writing a paper for, Contemporary Drama.
