Today, I rolled in the Evo while listening to The Crystal Method's Legion of Boom. The sunroof was open, and I was wearing cop-style sunglasses. I ate chili dogs at Matt's, and then I just rolled. Later, I applied for a job with a charity outfit reading grant proposals for technology-in-the-classroom requests.

3:30: Can't solve database problem.

3:35: Convince most of engineering department to go to happy hour.

5:30: After sitting in the sun in my cargo shorts, Chucks, skate shirt and aviators drinking four rounds of "Dos Equis and a shot of Patron", I realize I can solve the database problem.

6:15: Work is done.


That's a fine, fine way to solve a problem. Here's to...

Listening to Refused, eating the first cherries of the season, and playing on the internet. What a pleasant evening. I need to work on some angst, or I shall become ever so boring.

Woe, woe is unto the null.

The day started out with my declaration that I was a country boy in my deepest heart. Later, I walked past a department store mannequin wearing a Burberry polo shirt, Lucky jeans, and Ecco shoes identical to what I was wearing. Then, I bought a sillily expensive Mont Blanc pen.

Man am I bored, which isn't a good thing. Stuff usually ends up on fire when I'm this bored.

I was rejected by the MBA program today. I've never been rejected by a college, so I'm a little unsure how to take this.

Of late, I seem to be telling stories like an old man. I start to say something, and then try to pin a year on it. When I finally get a year pinned down, I end up saying something like, "That couldn't have been three years ago." Then I stare off into space and consider if it really was three years ago. Eventually, I shrug...

Woke up at about nine and made my way leisurely to work by half past ten. I listened to Houses of the Holy on my way in and fell madly back in love with Zeppelin.

At work, I finished a project that I'd been working on for a few months. That was a good feeling.

Then I found out that it was one of my...

I woke up early to get ready for the MBA interviews. I got dressed in my new blue Burberry polo shirt and khakis and some okay shoes. My stomach wasn't feeling good, so I eschewed the granola and yogurt I normally have for breakfast. My slight nausea wasn't from nerves, because I'm never nervous when it's game time--only in the in-between time leading up to...
