the reality tunnel

election Originally written 04.29.2002. i was totally stoked today because i got to eat my beloved microwave organic vegan “mexican-style” fajita, which despite the “-style” is still rather good, and more importantly, rather cheap. i would kill for that kind of product to be offered to students. hell, i would be thrilled for any kind [...]

an evening with chuck d Originally written 04.28.2002. iain and i headed off to george square theatre and were luckily able to still score tickets to see chuck d (although they had been marked up to #12 instead of the presale price of #8). we took our seats, and by the time the show started, [...]

restless, arab strap Originally written 04.27.2002. today i just felt really restless. i wanted this to be a wild and crazy weekend in celebration of finishing exams, but i didn’t do anything too special today. i went to the library and jacked into the net and played around with my user-mode-linux network a little more. [...]

i got a lift with rob down to king’s buildings and was about to swipe into the security system so i could get into my lab when i realized that i didn’t have my card. i must have left it at adam’s house after my exam yesterday (in a strangely authoritarian setting, we were forced [...]

Originally written 04.25.2002 . maybe it’s just that i woke up at 6am this morning, but the initial recordings of some of the songs off the forthcoming weezer album that i downloaded some time ago are really quite good. not pinkerton good. not even blue album good, but still enjoyable. they’re the same power-pop as [...]

london adventure day 9 (wed. 04.10.2002) Originally written 04.10.2002. i had reserved my seat on the 14:00 train to give myself some time in the morning for last minute sight-seeing and skating, but i was too broke from eight days of holiday fun, and too broken, from last night’s skate, to do either. so, i [...]

london adventure day 8 (tues. 04.09.2002) Originally written 04.09.2002. today was a chill day, imposed more by lack of funds than anything else. i dropped the majority of what little cash i had left on a one day travelcard and headed out. first i followed up on the “grail hub” for my dad. the bicycle [...]

london adventure day 7 (mon. 04.08.2002) Originally written 04.08.2002. i woke up this morning nearly 12 hours after my ridiculously early bedtime last night. Turning it in early has been a good call. i awoke with no set plans for the day. well, i did have to change hotels, but other than that, nothing. i [...]
