I just lost 600 words. This is what I get for being productive. Actually, if you want to be technical about it, this is what I get for inserting a graphic of a frog, naming it Tom, then calling it…
I found this exact note on the computer I was working at: REGISTRATION-INDIVIDUALS PO BOX 9942 MOONEE PONDS VIC 3039 Dear Sir/Madam: I have just learned that someone has got the access to my tax file number, and I’m concerned…
Nice does not mean spineless. Sometimes guys hide behind the excuse of “I’m a nice guy” in hopes of sympathy. Perhaps if people realize that nice guys mean well but have a universe to compete against, perhaps then their niceness…
I was a nice guy all of my life. Not ‘nice, nice,’ but nice. One of those people that girls would call at two in the morning to complain about their boyfriends. And I listened. And I cared. Then I…

You know what I just remembered? When I was a kid, my godmother used to electrocute me. She thought it was therapeutic or beneficial or something, but the point is that the woman shocked me! She also used to have……
Microfiction is a ludicrously short story, usually about 250 words. Microficticious works have all the same elements as regular works, but are forced to show them quicker. If novels are meant to be read over a month, novellas over a…

Damn it, I missed NaNoWriMo. I wanna write a novel in 30 days! Do you think it might be too lame to do it on my own? I think I’m just going to have to wait for 2006. Until then,…

I wish I knew some way of shrinking these pictures using just html. These campus computers are severely lacking in certain respects.
Apparently I’ve become known for my philosophical posts. I find that interesting, because philosophy is a rather small percentage (20.45) of the totality of my postings. … by the way, notice how the 22.45 has no percentage sign attached? Yeah,…
Apparently there is some interest out in the world wide web for the positions that I now or will later have open. Okay, to wit, the positions are as follows: Web designer: Design a fantastic website in which each page…
If you haven’t hugged (or kissed) a beautiful, intelligent, amazing girl today, go out and do it. If you’re not attracted to girls, now is the time to experiment. Who knows, you might like it. If there are no girls…

Why am I leaving Australia again? I know there’s a reason. A sure-fire, sealed and accepted, unavoidable reason, but I can’t think of what it is for the life of me. Okay, these are the excuses I often use when…
Trumpet Rob shaved my head today. We did it at one o’clock in the middle of campus with over a dozen of my friends watching. (Included: Ex_Cal, Steve, Lucien, L, L’s friend whose name I always forget, Suzi, Cam-EE, Liza,…

someone once asked me for advice on the best way to take care of a paper cut. you know what i said? amputation.
Moofruot and I have a lot in common. Probably more than either of us realizes, quite frankly. When I was growing up (in the middle of nowhere), we had a gate that we would close and lock every night. Now,…
Here’s another fun game: Come up behind a total stranger (extra points if they’re talking in a group) and cover their eyes. They will try to guess who you are. After a minute, uncover their eyes and when they ask…
In looking over my archives for the Eli’s, I ran across a previous post that I think needs more attention: It’s about how sometimes there is intelligence is hidden in random places. It was called the “Intelligence in Inappropriate…
Apologies in advance for lack of updating now and for the next few weeks. It turns out that Finals week drags on for a fortnight here. I’m not getting any sleep tonight (I’m watching Roswell). Update: Apparently I update much…
Tao of Gabe Gabe the Benevolent Beaver here worried about his place in the history books. I worry about what is going to survive me when I can no longer the job myself. More than anything, I’d hate to be…
Some time ago, I decided that I needed more hugs. I was only getting one or two hugs per day and I was feeling listless. So I decided that I would give myself a quota. I figured that if I…
Last Thursday I was listless. Where my list was, I did not know. You can probably tell, going over the archive, that I did not feel like doing much. And the stuff I did do, I did not enjoy. It…
Thursday at the regular Pyromaniacs meeting, I met two girls named Cam-ee (ka-MEE) and Nikki (it turns out I was one letter off last time. I accidentally spelled it “N9kki.” My bad) They were twins. Now, before anybody calls me…
I walk around campus a lot. It’s been a habit of mine ever since grade school. If I’m not hanging out with my friends, I walk around looking for friends. Sometimes I spend half an hour going over the same…
I’ll be the first to admit I have different beliefs from most people. Because of that, I tend to keep to my own in ideological battles. I don’t go around from message board to message board attacking creationists (though my…
Assuming the “Coalition of the Willing” (hereafter referred to as “COW”) pulled out of the war in Iraq, would that make the war a loss? Historically, people might say that the initiators pulling out means that they felt they were…

Damn. I shouldn’t have read this. Now I don’t want to finish the book. And it was a good book too. Updating for the sake of updating. Something bigger tomorrow and Tuesday come.
Ha ha. Ever notice how some authors have odd names? I realized while looking up Dracula that Bram Stoker’s name looks an awful lot like a porn name. Then I realized how they all have silly looking names. Let’s go.…
It’s time I admitted it, I’ve been having Writer’s Block for the past few weeks. So now I ask you to provide me with ideas. If you can think of something that needs making fun of, comment here. I’ll also…
As I’ve found most people disagree with how I plan on raising my hypothetical children, I’ve decided to try one final argument. Hopefully I won’t need to dip my pen back into this ink bottle again. Personally, I’m sick of…

Hm. Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed more and more people mentioning that they read this blog in day to day interactions. Also, I’ve noticed my daily page views shoot up. I’m not quite sure what made this happen…
