I stepped out of the athletic facility and into the magical land of Narnia last night. It was a full-blown blizzard. I also got a text message from my brother letting me know that there were people hanging out in a bar near Brooklyn. It didn’t seem so bad, so I texted back “ok” and [...]

After a long long night of a fruitless quarrel with eBay customer service I passed out in disgust. How hard is it to explain that you are who you say you are? It’s all about identity and protection. On one end you have the large corporation not listening to the human being, and on the [...]

Off to Jersey for the big weekend of good food and fun with our cousins. We all met up at Penn Station and headed off, a few beers in tow. We had a great train ride, one of the little kids riding in our cab on the train sang the whole way there…badly. [...]

It was a great day for class that almost didn’t happen. Preoccupied with homework this morning I almost didn’t leave for class in time to grab lunch. Picture me standing in the middle of the street looking for the quickest lunch possible. Then picture me walking for the bus stop eating fries [...]

Big happenings tonight in the world of Astronomy. We’ve got a full-blown lunar eclipse set for just after 10PM EST. I think the total eclipse will last for a couple of days, with the total eclipse only lasting for hours. I’ll be attempting to photograph it, but since I live in [...]
