karma 21 December, 2006

Nature has decided to repudiate my snow demand of earlier this week by giving Denver a full-scale blizzard today through whenever it all gets cleared off. I awoke to probably 4-5″, it’s still snowing real hard, and we still have a second front to pick up where the first storm leaves off.
Positives: as they said [...]

anticlimax 19 December, 2006

Well, the snow didn’t pan out. Denver didn’t get more than the lightest see-it-swirl-in-the-headlights flurries last night. At least it’s staying cold–I see it almost as a necessary condition for Christmas. My winter break goals of 1. regularizing sleep schedule 2. seeing friends 3. writing math thesis 4. cooking have not been achieved yet. In [...]

And, although the game may not have gotten good tv ratings (i.e. wasn’t seen in many households), everyone’s going to offer opinions about what happened based on poorly-shot and endlessly-replayed video clips online. I just wanted to say: being [...]

I guess a little speculation about the future 11 December, 2006

Actually, it may even be anxiety about the future. Um, I’d sorta had this germ of an idea as I was doing some for-school writing last week, but a combination of a lot of words submitted for credit and a lot of other stuff going on has left me without enough sort of standing-in-the-shower thinking [...]
