I’ve been thinking about traffic a great deal lately. This probably has a great deal to do with my job at Got Junk, and the fact that it requires me to drive around more or less constantly, frequently in heavy traffic. It probably also has to do with the fact that I’ll be studying urban planning beginning in about 3 weeks. Be that as it may, traffic has occupied me of late.

Monday, July 31st, 2006Married!
Monday, July 24th, 2006Holy crap, I’m married. I suppose that really very little has changed. We still live together, in the same apartment, doing the same jobs and all that. Superficially the only difference is that we’re both wearing rings now (which I can’t stop playing with). I think I’ll have to wait a week or two to decide whether it feels all that different or not.
I have my first computer repair job today. This is rather exciting, as I’ve missed working on computers. It is also the first time that I’m actually going to be making money for myself, as opposed to receiving a paycheck. Hopefully this grows into something substantial. Given the state of computer repair (at least around here, and probably pretty much all over), I don’t think we’ll have any trouble getting customers. Our only real challenge is establishing some kind of name for ourselves, and that is what this first job is all about.
Faith, Science, and the American Way
Friday, July 14th, 2006I’ve been reading a certain post at Pharyngula, specifically the discussion part, and I find it kind of fascinating. They’ve been chewing over the definition of faith. Some seem to feel that it is more or less analogous to belief, and others feel that it is a special subset of belief which has no evidence supporting it. I have actually pondered this one a bit myself, so maybe this is a good time to throw in my two cents.
When it rains it pours
Saturday, July 1st, 2006People are unpredictable. One week no one wants any trash removed, and the next you’re working overtime just to keep up. More work, of course, means more money, so this is a positive thing. Now if my FAFSA stuff will just go through, and I can get my loans, I would be set.
