Print iconOf race and blue-eyed blondes

Monday, October 31st, 2005

Disclaimer: This post is potentially disturbing. If in doubt, don’t read it. In my pre-defence, I don’t mean any harm.
I’d written up this huge (and yet somewhat unfinished) piece which eventually […]

Print iconPublic service announcement

Friday, October 28th, 2005

Before you wear your seriously low-riding butt-hugging pair of jeans that don’t leave much of your lower back or the top of your crack or thong to my imagination, take a gander at your own behind and ask yourself, “Am I fit and […]

Print iconBohemian rhapsody

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

People have referred to me in various ways—non-conformist, bohemian, mildly-eccentric, socially aloof, original—when they’re trying to describe my lifestyle in relation to society. What is clear, however, is that I am definitely not a follower, and often tend to buck “fashionable trends”. I […]

Print iconI’m shallow like that

Monday, October 24th, 2005

Whenever people (and it’s usually clueless newbies who do) ask me the question “but why are you working on a PhD?”, I’m tempted to give them the “real” answer, which is actually rather shallow.

Print iconAll I want is leisure

Saturday, October 22nd, 2005

I know we’ve been through what I’m going to get into a few times, but you’re going to have to sit through it yet again. If you’re leaving, rejoice in the news that there are a bunch of stellar movies playing sporadically on […]

Print iconBlurring the lines

Friday, October 21st, 2005

I have a ton of unfinished posts, and they’re all crap. Apparently, good posts are what good hair days have now become—few and far between. I’ve been (actually surprisingly) getting a ton of decent work done as well as getting some (sometimes equally […]

Print iconPalatableness of changes

Monday, October 17th, 2005

I’d been toying with the idea of becoming vegan for a short while. Over the past few weeks, I’d been taking stock of the kinds of foods that provide my daily nutrition, and proceeded to sort out what I could live without, and […]

Print iconTragicomical state of affairs

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

I am not a major fan of politics or current affairs, but I have been paying some attention to what Tom Delay and Michael Brown are up to. These guys are slowly becoming my new heroes.

Print iconGod, are you out there?

Thursday, October 13th, 2005

Can you hear me?
Being omniscient and all, you know this recently arrived in my inbox.

Please don’t think that this […]

Print iconI’m aging

Monday, October 10th, 2005

We go through this year after year, but this time I thought I’ll jump the gun a little.
I’m officially entering my mind-twenties in a couple of days (No, you don’t have […]

Print iconThere has been much progress

Sunday, October 9th, 2005

And, with much evil hackage, I’ve moved this thumbnailing code over to delineate. The time based archive scheme is still being created, but the category based thumbnailing seems about done.
As in, […]

Print iconSoliciting comments

Saturday, October 8th, 2005

I’m working on the style of the new photo page. What say you?
The thumbnails themselves will be dynamically updated once all the style issues are sorted out. And it works differently […]

Print iconWhere are the damsels in distress?

Friday, October 7th, 2005

No, seriously, do they even exist?
Most of, if not all, the women I know can effortlessly kick my ass if they so chose.

Print iconWomen issues

Sunday, October 2nd, 2005

I’ve been trying to type this up for a while, and it’s only now that the pain in my wrists and hands is beginning to subside. I spent way too many hours last night mashing the buttons on my GameCube controller finishing Viewtiful […]
