I finished The Scar by China Mieville yesterday. Remember how I said that his previous book, Perdido Street Station, was almost great and only suffered from a lack of narrative experience on the writer's part? Well, Mieville fixed that in The Scar. It was awesome, and the structure was head and shoulders above that of Perdido Street Station. I recommend it to...

Well, my weekend was a bit of an abortion. Friday night I went to a party that was okay. I woke up Saturday and went to work, where I promptly found a changed schedule that had me working Sunday. I had been planning on going to Athens for my friend's birthday party, but when faced with a get-to-Athens-at-11pm-drink-all-night-then-wake-up-at-8-to-get-back-to-Atlanta-in-time-for-work situation I chose to stay in Atlanta....

So I picked up a shift for a friend of mine today, which was cool; I made a litttle money. But, in one of thos awesome Clerks moments, I got a ticket on the way home. Not for speeding, I might add. Not for illegal lane change, improper driving for conditions, or even for a missing taillight. No, I got a ticket for failing to...

Hurricane party!

Tonight we got drunk and repeatedly jumped off a 10 foot wall into the pool. In the middle of the torrential hurricane rain. It was awesome.

Let me tell you, kids: it was fucking heaven. All the vendors were beautiful women.

"Would you liketo try...

So I enquired as to just what the fuck she did to get so many court dates this month. She had a speeding ticket and some bullshit misdemeanor...

Yesterday was a good day. Work was pretty bad; I got caught helping about 900 people buying fuses while my coworkers were both activating cellphones. Fortunately, the store cleared out by about 5:40, which allowed me to tune in to the Georgia/ South Carolina game just after kickoff. At some point this odd man had me draw up a diagram of how to hook a...

Well, as you can clearly see, I had a hell of a time last night. My roommates and I, as well as our friends Steven and Mike, went to Tin Roof Cantina last night. Our friend Paige bartends at Tin Roof, and she had booked this band we know to play last night....

So I'm listening to my Joy Division playlist, as I do fairly often while sleeping, when "She's Lost Control" comes on. About ten seconds later, my alarm goes off. My alarm is tuned to Album 88: the Georgia State radio station. Suddenly, I notice that the radio is playing the other version of "She's Lost Control," the version from Substance. So I woke up...
