AP Interview with Chris Walla
I found this interview really quite interesting. I definitely agree when Walla says that Plans was a “half-hearted” attempt at mass appeal and that Narrow Stairs was a “reactionary move” against that. Hopefully they figure it out and get back to Transatlanticism and The Photo Album.

For real though, the word “decimate” sounds so cool.

Busy Week

Tomorrow I head back to the STL for a NoCo Christmas!! I was planning on entering the party wearing a wife-beater, while eating a taquito but I don’t have a wife-beater… so it probably won’t happen.
New RSS Aggregator
12/11/2008 – 10:47 pm
I’ve finally gotten sick of using NewsGator, so I think I’m going to hunker down and write my own RSS aggregator. I want to integrate all of my Twitter, Tumblr, Wordpress, Blogger, and News feeds into a site I can manage on my own. Plus, I kind of miss PHP and want a chance [...]
Worst Part of College
12/8/2008 – 7:42 pm
Without a doubt, the worst part of college occurred on days when it would rain, and frequent trips to and from class resulted in the bottom two inches of your jeans being soaked for the entire day. There was nothing worse.

When Panda’s Attack

“Pandas, which generally have a public image as cute, gentle creatures, are nonetheless wild animals that can be violent when provoked or startled.
Last year, a panda at the Beijing Zoo attacked a teenager, ripping chunks out of his legs, when he jumped a barrier while the bear was being fed.
The same panda was in the [...]
The Show
11/17/2008 – 9:21 pm
Every single day during the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of college I would drive down 270 screaming every word to The Get Up Kids’ Something to Write Home About on my way to and from work. Last night, I got to scream along to every word with 200 of TGUK’s closest friends [...]
