missed me missed me now you’ve got to kiss me

Tonight we went to Trident with Hannah’s friend Nutty. We ran into a friend of Nutty’s and just sat and drank coffee/tea/wine/foamy milky things… my [...]

Days are cold and grey, it’s hard to be away
I heard Keith Ellison speak yesterday. What a guy. I’m feeling painfully inarticulate right now but, wow, he really impressed me. His easy manner and genuine interest in his audience… I think he’s fantastic.

I hurt my finger.You see, I was installing a disk drive in a Gateway desktop when an errant piece of metal attacked me. Yesterday looked something like this: wake up (yawn), class (late, as usual), worky worky worky, OW! OWOWOW!, emergency room visit, 1 tetanus vaccination, 4 novacain shots, 4 stitches, meeting, home.

Week in review
For those of you reading this on Facebook the lost phone story will be old news. Last week kind of sucked. I lost my phone and my iPod on Wednesday. I ended up finding my iPod (someone picked it up from the classroom I left it in) but my phone went the way of the [...]
