The Fast Food Saga: Part Two- More Fryers.

Hi again.  Today I worked another shift at The Franchise. It was a good one, as it was a pretty slow day. The weather was pretty snowy and it's New Year's Eve, so I guess a lot of people decided not to eat out tonight.  I did get my new pants. Hooray. Now I can work in at 28 inch waist...

The Fast Food Saga: Part One

Great news: I recently (and by recently I mean yesterday) got a job at a fast food restaurant. I've needed a job for a very long time, so having one unexpectedly is a huge thrill. You'll notice by now that I haven't mentioned the name of the restaurant, and I just want to get a few things related to...

A Festive Poem.

Twas the day before Christmas. Seth had a sore throat. Would he be able to carol? The chance was remote. Cough drops and medicine and water he tried, But his singing voice still just seemed to have died. He decided to be stoic, to sing anyway. He wanted just to be festive, on this special day. But when the first verse escaped from his lips, It sounded like a fleet of rusty steamships. The tree and the boxes and presents within, all shook from the force of the Apocalyptic din. He tried 'Silent Night', he tried 'Jingle Bells'. But he still only sounded like...

Ice cream.

I made a discovery a while ago. Ice cream. Well, I knew about ice cream before. I just found these little pints of ice cream at Pick 'n Save that are really cheap. So... I bought some. It started with four pints. I brought them home and put them in the freezer. My thought was, "I'm going to eat these...

Disabling AdBlock

For several years, I've used the most popular Google Chrome extension ever, AdBlock. It does just what it says: blocks the ads you see in webpages and youtube videos. I've cruised along in ad-free comfort for nearly four years now. I no longer...

That's Not Real Music

For some reason, I get into this debate quite often on the infamous Youtube Comments Section. It seems lots of people don't believe that a genre of music I enjoy immensely, EDM, is true artistry (i.e. not "real" music.) I disagree. Here's why. People...

JVC HARX700 Headphone Review

The other day, the headphones I'd bought last fall finally died. I guess that's what happens when you purchase the cheapest headphones on Newegg. It wasn't too surprising. So I pulled up B&H photo/video and checked to see if they had a certain set from JVC that I was really interested in. Ten...

Work.

I'm going back to work at camp. It's going to be a blast, and a whole lot of work. Here's a countdown until I get back on August 15th: I'll try to put up mini-posts on my days off. Also, check my twitter stream on this page. *Update* I'd love it if my readers could do what they did...

Computers (According to Hollywood)

There are a lot of great movies out there. Some of them are quite credible, realistic, and engaging. I enjoy them immensely. But one thing bugs me: Hollywood producers don't seem to know anything about anything electronic. In most modern-set movies, there will be a scene with a computer. And...

Driving, Independence, and Wasps.

I was driving to the library today. I drive a '99 Chevy AstroVan (click to see the previous post about this vehicle). The air conditioning in this vehicle kicked the bucket long ago, so I prefer to drive with all of the windows down rather...

*WARNING* (I stole this Post)

I stole the following post from this blog. It's a great post. Read it in its entirety. It explains exactly why the Mac OS is not a productive OS. It's basically identical to what I've been meaning to write, but written much better than the draft I put together. He claims that both platforms are...

New Layout

If you're reading this, you've probably noticed that my blog has a new look. I think the whole sliding-transparent-content-area-over-a-picture-of-wood-planks thing was getting a little old. Let me know what you think about it in the comment...

Birthday.

So I'm turning 17 today. I've got an amazing dinner planned, with roasted garlic lemon chicken, heavenly homemade biscuits, and chocolate raspberry cheesecake. Yum. You may recall last year's birthday post: I'm not doing anything that...

Tea.

No, Isaiah, I'm not a hipster. But I love tea. I have a twelve ounce mug of the stuff every single day. Chai, black, oolong, green, white, I enjoy it all. What's this?

Instagram is not art.

Has anyone seen Instagram? Cute, isn't it? Did you know that the people who use it call their filtered, distorted, grainy photos "art"? I have four words for these people: Instagram is not art. You know what? That's not enough emphasis....

RED: "Release the Panic" album review.

RED's been my favorite band (bordering on an obsession) for about 3 years now. Their fourth and latest album, "Release the Panic" is coming out in 3 days. I've got hold of an autographed copy of it  before it's been released to the general public, thanks to my totally-amazing-greatest-best-friend-you-could-ever-ask-for...

The Loss of Apple's Class

I've been reading all the Apple rumors lately. I saw the usual fare: New iPad leaked parts, new iPhone leaked parts, etc, etc, etc. As we found out way back before the iPhone 5, Apple no longer has much of a claim to secrecy. You don't even have to watch Apple's highly choreographed "keynote" product...

Oranges and DSLRS

Hello. So I'm writing this on an iPad. So it might not be the standard of excellence you're used to. Oh well. I've been experimenting with cool audio stuff lately and generally being lazy, so that's why I haven't posted in so long. Cool news:...

Driving

I enjoy driving. It's something I dreamed about doing as a little kid. I saw those who could operate a vehicle as demi-gods, people to be revered and envied. I went to Driver's Ed this fall, and now I'm driving. It's fun. I feel like I...
