As of 17:00 today I am officially homeless, but in a good way: no mortgage or utility bills for two months. Paying realtors $15k is rather less happy. I think I'll have some M&M's to cheer me up.

For the low price of $49, I will delete all the data on your existing hard drive and save you the hassle of buying a Maxtor. There's a reason they cost half of everyone else. Friends don't let friends buy Maxtor. Update: gross, Seagate is buying them.

I went to the store for Miracle Whip and two loaves of garlic bread. Turns out I was sent for Cool Whip and two whole garlic cloves. Good thing I called to check.

My garlic is growing, and it bothers me more than it should. I like my food dead, or at least never alive in the first place, but certainly not in a state of growth.

Neither witty nor humorous, just pictures of my new place.

My theory: rednecks grow more aggressive as man infringes on their natural habitat, much like deer and bear. There's a whole police report behind this, but I'm too busy to type it all out.

Driving home from a New Year's party past lines of cops at every exit, an SAT analogy came to me: Black Friday is to retailers as ______ is to cops. At least they don't have to wait all year to turn a profit.

I hate shopping, and I really hate it at Christmas. A tale of a Toni & Guy gift certificate, an outrageous haircut price, and a Batteries For Life watch deal I can no longer cash in because I lost the tiny little card.

Blood Mountain, October 2005: an idiot computer science major, a don't-jump moment, and the rest of the pictures.
