Sadness

Robert Anton Wilson died this morning.

I done good

Yesterday I stopped my aunt’s boyfriend from going to Geek Squad to get his son’s computer fixed.

Secrets

When I was in college, I was a frequent visitor to a site called bittersweets. People would post little vignettes that started out nice and reassuring, but always ended sadly. Some of them were quite moving and when the site closed down, I found myself missing them intensely. Recently I was introduced [...]

The Buddha said there’d be days like this….

What a completely shitty week it’s been. On Monday I found out that Robert Anton Wilson, a man I’ve studied and admired almost my entire life, is not only dying, but is pretty much destitute.

Some pictures today

Steph and I were walking back to our apartment from dinner on Monday night and I saw this great sign. It made me laugh so hard I had to take a picture:

And yesterday we were in the Freehold Raceway Mall, and I felt obligated to take a picture of the Apple Store that’s being [...]
