And so it is that the Year of the Rat is on its way out. It’s not over quite yet, so I’ll still retain a bit of glory of my birth year, but since it’s almost the solar new year, I thought it as good a time as any to steal an idea from Jana [...]

This Thanksgiving was completely different for me. I relaxed most of the day, then hit the movie theaters with Robert so we could go see Milk. The $13.50 matinee tickets proved worthwhile not only because the seats were comfortable, the theater was clean, and we had assigned seating, but also because the film was incredible.
I’m [...]

There’s a new lady in my life. She’s sassy, smart (though frankly, she’s something of a know-it-all), and somewhat understanding of me. She’s there for me when I get lost, but she’s rather impatient at times (understandable, since it’s me we’re talking about; but it’s still irritating). And since I don’t have the energy to [...]

Today was hands down the best Saturday I’ve had in quite some time. I’m talking the whole day here. It was awesome for several reason, which I’ll rate in order of the lessor awesome (obviously still bitchin’) to most awesome.
3.) The curtains of doom are finally GONE! I started hating those things pretty much as [...]

I’ve done something I never thought possible: I walked into Lowe’s today and bought an item to improve my home that is not electronic. You hear that, interwebs? I walked into a home improvement warehouse. And bought something. My first ever set of blinds, to be specific.
Tomorrow, one set of the eight-foot tall by ten-foot [...]

My previous post about warning future grad students was, I daresay, a tad misdirected. Specifically, I should have pointed the warning to a specific sect of grad students: speech pathology ones. Between taking courses, working in two clinics, working at least twenty hours per week, and getting all caught up in election fervor and [...]

As of now, the evil Proposition 8 has passed. First, Prop 8 is an awful thing to have people vote on in the first place. It smacks of laws we struck down not so long ago, that had no place being laws in the first place: Jim Crow laws, laws outlawing marriage between men and [...]

It feels like I’m only halfway there. I’ve never before felt so invested in an election. It’s amazing, though, how much a single measure that marginalizes you as a person can affect how you feel overall. But regardless of the outcome, and as of my writing this, the outcome is not yet certain, seeing the [...]

I want to take a moment to thank the fine people at No on Prop 8 for all their hard work and energy. I’d also like to thank Joe of Joe.My.God. for helping me stay current on so many issues, and I’d especially like to think Prince Gomolvilas of Bamboo Nation for inspiring me to [...]

In the spirit of not writing about how much homework I’ve had to do, and studying I’ve had to do, I’ve decided to pick a decidedly awesome and heated topic to write about: Clay Gay-kin!
Let me start by saying I am not a fan of Clay Aiken. For no other reason than I’ve never really [...]
