2001-10-10T09:33:00.000-07:00

ive been ill. i wont go into great detail of the horrors. allow me simply to say that yesterday i singlehandedly exhausted a roll of toilet paper from the handicap stall in the 6th floor mens room. and yes, singlehandedly was an intentional pun.

2001-10-09T16:16:00.000-07:00

sorry cats. if you were removed from ability to blog on my site, its nothing personal i assure you (i assure you). simply that my blog is moving to a new host and one requirement was that i snub all of you. but fear not, brave souls! for soon you will have the ability to post on my new blog. no, not your standard run of the mill uninteresting comments, rather your uninteresting replies to my posts. now, dont that sound grand?

and for the rest of you, you too will be able to post your nonsense on my new blog, i shall forward you the new address when that becomes available.

thats all for now.

on this day 27 years ago......nolan neil fossum was brought into the world.. haha. happy b-day poo. love ya.

2001-10-07T00:19:00.000-07:00

Nothing special in my mail today. (Er... Yesterday, I guess.) Not much at all going on. Watched bits and pieces of Good Will Hunting on TV tonight. I've realized that even though a lot of it is the sort of B.S. you'd get in an English class, the movie is rather thought provoking. Almost inspiring. Maybe I should rent it, watch it again, and then try to write a college essay. Ok, so maybe not. Oh, well, hope all's well for y'all. I ought to sleep, considering I usually don't. Ciao for now!

2001-10-06T15:20:00.000-07:00

my cuz gave me a headset phone...very coo. has everyone checked their mail today yet? anyone get anything special? anyways i was in the parade today and it took me forever to get home cuz i kept walking back and forth from places. very annoying.

2001-10-05T23:53:00.000-07:00

just got back from a free show at school. weirdest bill youd ever imagine for a non star 98.7 sponsored show. afroman, alien ant farm, and warren g. afroman isnt what you would call a wholesome lyricist, but he was entertaining and plays a mean double necked guitar. alien ant far were cool, but they werent mixed very well, like vocals were wrong tone and balance, etc. warren g: i got into it cus i felt like groovin but his set pretty much sucked. first of all it was only like 30 minutes. most of it was like his deejay whose name is actually dj rectangle or maybe rectango whatever messing around and everytime hed put on a groove, hed start throwing his body parts on the turntables and it became undanceable. i think warren g was annoyed cus he kept swearing a lot. which might have been intentional, cus without the vulgarity he really didnt have much to say. i remember one instance in which he kept cursing at his cup of water. i dont know what makes a man to keep cussing at his cup of water, but something must have upset him. well, the set wasnt very good, but thats okay, the good news is that hes coming back, yall, coming back to ucsandeeaygoooo and hes gonna bring snoop and nate and all his crew so thats something to look forward to, i surpose.

that reminds me by the way, a couple of years ago i had a struggling algebra student in a struggling algebra class who told me that his name was dj quadratic. as a math type i tried to convince him how lame that actually sounds and that people who know anything will only make fun of him, as following my lead our class did for the whole year. all in good fun, i assure you. he said he liked it and even though he confessed to having found the word in a math book, thought it was a good name. so dj quadratic, if youre out there, word to your mother.

hows that for a diversion?

token message for the day

2001-10-03T12:35:00.000-07:00

listen to Aimee Mann's "The Fall of the World's Own Optimist" I believe it's found in Bachelor #2

2001-10-03T08:53:00.000-07:00

this little ditty was good for a laugh:

"i need to travel into the land of work at home, also known as home work
and attempt to obseqiuosly eggshell the parsimonious garrolous zephyr
in the reconnaisance of my bowel excretions. i am so eggshelly tired
eggshell being."

thanks mi

2001-10-03T08:49:00.000-07:00

anyways, ive been giving more thought to this eggshells thing. and ive decided that eggshells most certainly do exist and i break them regularly. im finished denying the existence and perpetual breakage of eggshells.

2001-10-02T16:19:00.000-07:00

im having problems today. i hate everything. im so restless, i cant sit down and do something for longer than 2 seconds.

2001-10-02T15:19:00.000-07:00

WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS? men are such freaks. i hate boys.

2001-10-02T14:47:00.000-07:00

eggshells...... so does jonatha brooke.

i am, alas, weary from the travails of calculus discussions. i pray to the almighty that i should never have to solve 4.4.73 out of stewarts calculus early transcendentals again. moreover, from within my gutteral cavity there is a noticeable persistent yearning, crying out as though in pain, like so many knives thrashing upon tender and unexpecting flesh. i think ill get some food.

2001-10-02T12:14:00.000-07:00

eggshells..... Aimee Mann seems to think they exist.

2001-10-02T09:47:00.000-07:00

the egg shells arent broken, cus egg shells dont exist.

no one is a failure at keeping his or her mouth shut, rather a success in keeping it open. after all, no one here is suggesting that we should censor anyone (which is really quite ironic of me to say *wink*). now lets all have a group hug and say we are lovers and throw stones when no one is looking.

more of this mindless numbnessness later.

2001-10-02T00:15:00.000-07:00

hahahaahahaha, Nolan has the funniest POOP in the world to say. I totally adore the usage of the word "delightful" and yes, I have to make a scene about everything because everything is a joke to me. Don't you realize that you can't rely on me for anything!? I am the worlds biggest failure at keeping my mouth shut. Hey kids look at this, it's the FALL of the world's own optimist, she'll ? if you insist, but you'll have to ask politely. All the egg shells have been broken........

2001-10-01T23:04:00.000-07:00

ihatevocab.com

use it kids. hs kids yes we are stuck in our hs world. muhahaha.

2001-10-01T18:14:00.000-07:00

sometimes i get confused about why i cant see the other posts while im typing new ones.

frank, we accept you for not wanting to be a part of our little high school blog and for using the usual discretion to make a scene about it rather than simply to abstain quietly. We accept you as undamaging in the things you say. We wont go so far as to say we love you or whatever, cus were not warm fuzzy types, but we accept you.

alright, so there seems to be some general dissension in my algebra class as to the instructive methods of mr. shallrenamemaneless. that was a typo, but so delightful that i thought id leave it and comment on it. the fact is that the cats in my class, present authorshippery included, simply dont understand ni un papa. but with the help of a variety of supplemental texts, an abundance of snackpacks, some zen meditation, and the regular application of some anti-itch creams, i think all will be well. well, maybe all wont be well, but at least the burning should dissipate!

must go. must speedily engage in the comestible arts. ciao for now.

2001-10-01T17:36:00.000-07:00

who the heck is tw stanton. blah blah. my mums home, brought me back okc omputer. i finally have it, but i was disappointed cuz it didnt have some cool extra cd like my moby one did, i think its the same exact thing you find over here, but! it was only 258 NT which is like less than 9 bucks. woohoo. when i feel heavy metal. woohoo. when im pins and im needles. woohoo.
whats the difference between post and post&publish, do i just put post for our "team" to see it and post&publish to put it online? what do you guys all do? alrighty folks, back to hw. sorry my life is so boring and little and sad and doesnt mean anything frank.
okay i think i understand the post & blah stuff.

2001-09-30T01:30:00.000-07:00

Is this where high school people go to rant about their boring little lives? Man, I had no clue. I think i'm going to not blog here then... cuz' there's nothing sadder than a highschool kid thinking their thoughts actually mean anything in this world. HAHAHAAHAHAH. I'm kidding. But seriously, I can't blog here anymore.

2001-09-28T21:32:00.000-07:00

Hello, hello. I'm about ready to crash. Every single week exhausts me more and more. Soon enough I'll be drinking as much coffee as Nicole Tracy to stay awake. Basically, I'm annoyed because my week has sucked. And now my weekend is going to be full of reading books/plays of "literary merit." Happy, happy, joy, joy. On a happier note, for those of you who haven't heard, Watkins wife is having a boy. Very cool. And from the sonogram (sp? right term?) It's got the same huge forehead as Watkins. Haha. It'll be cute. Ok, so that's my story for this annoyingly frustrating day. Ciao!

2001-09-28T16:22:00.000-07:00

hi kids. im listening to market 'six-eight.' spacey girl voiced music. hope everyones having some fun on this lovely friday afternoon.

2001-09-28T15:10:00.000-07:00

My name is Jonas.... No it isn't. You can see my real name below. The BBQ was nice last night... so was driving into a crowd of Koreans and saying "Frank's here everybody, Everybody, Frank's here." Sigh.

2001-09-28T14:52:00.000-07:00

REMINISCING IS HEARTACHE

2001-09-28T11:14:00.000-07:00

im an idiot, and so...

from memory, starting...now

yester i had the old fhs types over for a barbecue. it proved to be a delightful time; it also proved to be a late night. after taking people to their apartments and broomball appointments, going back to retrieve my wallet, hanging out for a while, it was one o clock and i simply wasnt tired. so i decided to walk the dog, do the online thing, play snood, play a game of computer chess (i suck, even though ive been (i confess dont think me dork) reading books) playing guitar, i still wasnt tired. so at 3:30 i decided to start carving a pumpkin. if it works out, ill put a pic of it on my updated web site, if i ever update it. someday maybe. i hollowed and carved until 5:30 when i decided it was time to go to school. so i took the dog out for another walk and got myself off to the bus stop. i must have just missed the bus, so i decided to keep carving my pumpkin while i sat at the stop. i ended up getting to school about 6:45 this morning. why so early you ask?

because i wanted to be first in line to get incubus tickets for november 28 here at ucsd. well, i was second in line. and there were only three of us in line until 9 this morning. but it all paid off cus promptly at 10, i was the first cat to walk away from either of the two ticket windows with a pair of tickets for the show. if my lack of sleep werent causing me to be in such a lull, (sigh) i'd be jumping for joy.

but i am extatic. did i spell that word wrong, cus it looks funny.

2001-09-28T01:49:00.000-07:00

i stopped by the radio station today to see if i can get a spot. it looks like i can. i was trained on some things and they will call me to schedule an appointment for further training. im like two training sessions away from playing music on the radio. check it out at www.ksdtradio.org it think. ill let you know if and when i get on. not like anyones really reading this anyway. but thats okay, cus no one listens either. the studio also has a recording room where people, even i, could make cd quality recordings. which brings me to my beef:

why cant i write lyrics to fit the music i write? this is getting frustrating. ive got pretty much four or five songs, at least basic progressions and i am incapable of fitting lyrics to them. whats lacking? why can i not find the inspiration to write? arg. perhaps lifes getting too routine. do you ever feel that way? like a week passes and there seems to have been little creativity of substance? the humor keeps me going, but i need the substance. loving life, but dissatisfied. someone, please, ask me provocative questions. get me thinking and living again.

2001-09-27T09:11:00.000-07:00

well, i think im starting to get the hang of this school thing. you see, teachers assign homework, THEN you do it! sheesh, i wish i knew about this in high school and college. yessiree, i finished my first homework assignment of the quarter last night. ten problems and it only took me about five hours combined! heck, who knew grad school would be so easy.

2001-09-26T21:49:00.000-07:00

well, hard to believe, but college students really do ride razor scooters (heeheehee). i was talking to a friend earlier and she said that she was tired of walking so much so i recomended the razor. she said that her books would keep her off balance. razor scooter industries, if youre out there, maybe we need a razor with a side car for the libros. just an idea. ill file it away with wonton perfume (still big in europe, btw), cheese glazers, stirrup pants for men, and multiplication table boxer shorts.

2001-09-26T13:25:00.000-07:00

arg. classes are hard, thats for sure. i spent twenty minutes last night trying to do my first homework problem of my grad school career. after about 75 minutes i had only finished three and i was all worn out from working on the fourth one. what happened to the good old days of easy epsilon-delta proofs?

today i managed to figure out problem four. it wasnt too hard, just kept eluding me. now im stuck on number five. Curses!

2001-09-25T16:53:00.000-07:00

ugh...im tired. started TAing today. fun, but four hours of talking and saying the same things over and over can wear one out. i did happen to notice today that a kid sitting in the first row of one of my sections, waiting for the section to start, wrote on his paper in the equivalent of little kid writing for high schoolers the following little diddy:

Math 20B Disussion

that was enough to make me smile.

i need to remember to go to the store tonight and buy three air freshners for the classroom where three of my classes (mwf classes) meet. there is an everpresent aroma of bad breath there and its beginning to affect my study habits.

i need to start studying. lets hope that some homework gets done tonight.

2001-09-21T15:29:00.000-07:00

ive only had two classes but already i can see im gonna get my booty kicked! is it too early to start thinking about christmas vacation?

2001-09-21T13:28:00.000-07:00

got a dog recently. hes a good kid. friendly. non aggressive. but fearful. most noticeably fearful of manholes and balloons. this dog werent made for street walking.

im still on a mission to land an hour on the campus radio station. more to follow about that topic.

2001-09-21T13:25:00.000-07:00

my first day of grad school. today i saw a guy in my first class who had a Trapper Keeper. school is gonna be so much fun!
