paper writing time
October 01, 2002 by Eric Richardson
So it's paper writing time once again, the first of this new year. This time it's a 5 - 7 pager for my Hip-Hop Nation class. As of right now, I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to be writing... I've done all the reading (unusual for me), I've read the prompt many times, but inspiration and organization just hasn't really struck yet. Hopefully that happens at least reasonably soon, or it'll be a long night.
food
September 30, 2002 by Eric Richardson
So part of the fun of apartment life this year is figuring out how to make food, something I've really done none of previously in life. Currently my meals are definitely on the plain side, with my big adventures only going so far as buying ground beef and making hamburgers. That's as much a limitation of budget as cooking daring, though... Hopefully I'll be getting more creative soon, though, there're only so many times you can eat 4/$1 burritos.
it's that time of year

It's that time of the year again... 300+ google queries in September for student council speech, and 100+ for national merit essay. This is after my leading query last month won with 5 hits. Sometime I'll try to compare this to last year... Student council speech is far and away the most popular query to get here, with well over 1500 all time queries once you add in derivatives. That's about 1/4 of all queries leading people to my site.
Bowery Electric - Freedom Fighter

I've been able to find very little on the web for this band. Their website hasn't been updated in two and a half years, and mentions on other sites are sparse. Yet, one song is available for download and I love it. I found Bowery Electric after seeing them mentioned on a Portishead site, and fans of Portishead may well also like Bowery. Their cd, Lushlife, is on my list of things I would buy if I had money (right after food).
spreading smoke

So the 400 acres of yesterday has turned into 1200 this morning, and left a large layer of smoke over most of the area north of downtown. The picture sucks, as those from this camera usually do, but you still get a little of the sense of the haze over downtown.
