I wonder how often this kid gets beat up at school.

This is the most disgusting thing I've seen all year (that's not saying much). WARNING: not for queasy stomachs! But then there's the whole "whale penis experience" that makes it worthwhile.

I too have suffered from self-abuse.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been really busy working on this grant proposal due monday. It's not just the writing that's a pain. I also need transcripts, recommendation letters, signatures, etc. There are hassles involved with everything, especially since my advisor is in Australia.

Here are some pics of my friend Melissa teaching little kids in Japan!

So we finally have cable and internet like we want it. The TV is downstairs, and the computers are upstairs. A Cox guy came yesterday and fixed the upstairs outlet so it gets internet service. We've decided against digital cable because it's just too expensive. Besides, any show I want to watch on HBO I can TiVo at Kelly's house.

I just found out that last month, the courts decided that it is unlawful to force internet service providers to release the names of their customers. The music industry gives IP adresses to ISPs and asks for the names of those customers. The law says that you must already know the identity of the person in order to prosecute them.

Fucking Cox! They're busting my balls here! In order to get HBO, you have to have digital cable. So in addition to paying an extra $10 for HBO, you have to also pay $10 for the digital box. At least they're taking care of the internet issue today.

A new battery for my laptop costs $80. That's pricey, but actually cheaper than I expected.

Happy first day of classes y'all!

I really panicked this morning because I plugged in my laptop (which had been giving me battery troubles this weekend) and it wouldn't even turn on! After class, I tried plugging it into a different outlet and it finally started up. Whew!

I saw Beth yesterday. She helped me put together the first lab for mineralogy. Thanks Beth!

Gosh. There's just so much to do when you get a new apartment. Thankfully, this is all taking place during winter break.

Chocokelly is right. I did mistype the zip code. But please don't use the extra four digits. Just use 85257.

Brad blogged a wrong zip code. It should be 85257.

I have a new apartment and a new address. You can snail mail me at:

Now you can view my "official" LOMO page! Now I have unlimited upload space for images.

Well, it's been a while since I last blogged. A lot has happened--Christmas, New Years, etc. I've been reading a bit of philosophy lately. Just general surveys by Durant and Copleston to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. I'm also waiting for the big call. Clint and I applied for an apartment last week, and we're waiting for the ok to move in. I also bought a suit this weekend. It was a $1200 suit marked down to $360 at Nieman Marcus Last Call.
