me: sounds so damn complex
jonesy: it isnt really
jonesy: getting enough fiber in your diet helps
me: yeah see, all this complex stuff you have to do!
jonesy: also you have to relax, otherwise it’ll never work
me: seems so stressful
me: how could people ever do it spontaneously?
me: I’d need to schedule it on the calendar
jonesy: heh
me: 3-5 next saturday: anal sex.
A few weeks ago I changed my profile picture on Dlist (I know, I know…) to this one, which is apparently super-cute(?) I’ve been getting dozens upon dozens of friend-requests ever since.
It is frustrating, because they are all from people far far away. Why do you want to be friends with me, guy in Minnesota? Or you, boy in California? We’ll never go for coffee!
So I wrote a...
Studio wants me to work with actual car parts, even going so far as suggesting me (somehow) bringing an entire car into studio.
I’m actually sort of considering it… I found a car on craigslist for $150….
Is this real life?
blerg. hotwheels are 3/16”=1’ scale. this’ll be fun!
Other finds in this box of Hotwheels I just bought: a taxi, a snow plow, a limo, a school bus, a Shaggy truck and a Scooby hotrod.
Also, if you have a box of old hotwheel/matchbox cars sitting in your basement, why not donate them to my art/chitecture project? I’ll pay shipping!

I heard The Hobbit will be split into 2 films. I hope they are called There and Back Again.
I don’t know what to do for studio. (recap: bizarre course description, making out, some videos, drama, detroit)
On March 10th, we have an exhibit at the Contemporary Art Center. We can basically do anything we want, which is sort of the problem. Alissa is doing collages about memory, Daniel is cutting rolls of tinfoil in the band-saw, everyone else is doing who knows what.
I follow...
What if, in real life, a flight from Sydney to LA disappeared over the Pacific? Would people be respectful of the dead, or would the internet be buzzing with speculation on who’s the doctor, who’s the pregnant chick, who’s the ex-rocker, etc?
Did a promising fertility doctor move to a facility “near Portland” three years prior???
Spoiler Free LOST Snark: The child was totally wearing lipstick. Red, red lipstick.

In a $20,000 scholarship competition, I have made it from a pool of 150,000 people to one of 2,500. To advance to the next level, I need people to vote for me. *coughcoughpeoplelikeyoucough*
To do so, simply follow this link. To your undoubted annoyance, you will have to sign up, but that is a necessary evil to ensure that one does not vote for the same person hundreds of times.

OMFG. Axe Cop might be the best thing I’ve ever seen.
It was difficult to find an appropriate clip for that last post, as most Batman-suit-up sequences involve close ups of latex asses, which is not part of my morning routine.
On occasion, I’ll notice something as if for the first time, despite it surely being there for a long time. For example, I used to walk by a building every day, and then one day I noticed a huge circular window right in the middle of one side. This couldn’t have been, you know, snuck in over night. It had to have been there before…
My only conclusion, obviously, is that I had...

Faucet: Year Two
I started this here blog 2 years ago, on Feb 22nd, 2008, and this is my 3000th post! Check out my post from one year ago. Since then, my number of followers has increased by 250 percent! Yay! If you are new, I recommend checking out my important thoughts (on topics such as Driving, Music, and Baby Names in Fiction). You should also come see how good I look, and see some things that I have...

Last night I was invited by this guy (let’s say “Chris”) to Adonis, a gay club in Cincy. Also coming were several other people I had met, his friends and such. I had been expecting a call from this guy, but he’s gotten a bit flaky and never called so whatever, his loss.
So, I went to Adonis, after spending 35 minutes shoveling the wall of snow to free my car. It was...
Smallville is the only show that I watch that does the super cheesy holiday episodes. Christmas, Halloween, and last night, Valentine’s Day.
They seem like easily thrown away episodes, not relevant to the season’s plot. In this one Clark gets hypnosis powers via kryptonite-laced fairy dust blown by a chick handing out valentines. Whatever.
He accidentally hypnotizes Lois into...
He invited me out “clubbin” with his friends, I think actually his roommate’s friends. I drove, natch (teetotaler).
It was… awkward.
He had never danced with/up on a guy before, and I’m basically the worst. Especially when sober. Especially especially when I don’t know the music. (It was weird… the sort of hip-hop that one would play at a gay bar. I...

I was determined to go grocery shopping today. I needed to do so desperately. Last night I was saved by Nicole putting out some meats and cheeses. I had a few slices of cheese and meat for dinner. I didn’t even have crackers.
Today I suit up and grab the shovel at the door, and go investigate the situation. Separating my car from the street is a wall of compacted, wet snow. It is 18...

On Magical Items
Ones that I would want, in the order I would prefer them, from most to least, although any would be grand. As they say, I wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed for eating crackers.
1. Time-Turner - Imagine sleeping in till noon, having a relaxing breakfast, and then turning back time to 9am to go to class. Brilliant! This would immediately improve my life and my grades and just everything. ...

jonesy: i think you should mash out what you're trying to say before you say it
me: mash?
jonesy: oh you know, that middle school game where you figure out what your future car/husband/income bracket will be, with a cootie catcher
me: uh....huh?
jonesy: k werk l8r
[jonesy disconnects]
me: wait, what?
OK. I’ve not had classes more than I’ve had classes this past week and a half. Looks like there’s a chance tomorrow might be a snow day too. But, I can’t keep putting off this work. Gotta do it, tonight.
Rock and roll. Let’s diagram the shit out of some buildings!
Snow Day 2: The Weathering
I sort of want to go for a walk. It is crazy snow out there, the roads are hell and the sidewalks are worse. But, I have an urge to go for a stroll, one I think I might indulge.
OMG You guys!! So I ordered a pizza, because there’s no food in the house and its snowing like crazy so I can’t go to the grocery store and I figure, lets make someone else drive!
Anyway, the pizza comes 3 hours later, and the delivery-girl gets her car stuck trying to turn around in the middle of the street. I put the pizza inside and run back out to help, with the guy next door...
