When Things Fall (Part 1)
Consistency, journals and me are three words that I think will never join in perfect harmony. The weakest link being between me and consistency. However, I do have an excuse… I was err… busy… (what follows is a list of busy excuses). (Sunday) …going on a road trip to Niagara Falls. Now I am not…

The Insanity Returns
If one looks for trouble, one usually finds it. I guess the same applies to work. After a few months, huddled in the sanctity of university studies, I emerge to realize how much work needs my attention. A computer glitch almost killed my graduation.

Attack of the Lettuce Monster, and the Return of Work
After disappearing for a few months, I went back to the justCheckers website again. Much to my horror I discovered a group of spammers decided to “borrow” my forums.

Technorati Trials
So I am trying out this Technorati service. I registered a few months ago, but I want to see if I can better figure out how “influential” my blog is. Should be interesting.

Busy Week
Reading Week? Why not Busy-As-Hell Week as my friend Rudy once called it. I am so busy with work, especially writing that I don’t have much time for anything. The radio documentary and all the writing is slow going. I am praying for a breakthrough tomorrow. Sigh. The best news is that I got my…
