well, hello.
It’s been a while. I am slacking on the construction updates that I promised this girl I would post. (She can’t read well so I told her I’d put up pictures).
It was going to be a change over time view of the J-school. But, obviously, that has not been done. So to update you— the building is looking fabulous! No more watching the construction workers as they sit around and...

Quickie
The Dark Knight = Mind Blowing. You’ll have to wait until my good friend Carl gets a chance to see it overseas to get the full fledged movie blog that I’m sure he will write, but I wanted to give my two cents. Best movie I’ve seen in a long time. Go see it… 3 or 4 times
Our house is infested with fruit flies. There’s a war going on and the chemicals that I am...

Are You Alive?
Although I had an extremely successful trip this past three-day weekend back home to Indiana and then to Ohio, I haven’t stopped working since I returned back to Columbia late Sunday night. Apparently, I can’t go away for a weekend without loads and loads of shit building up for me to do either with my Internship or the Maneater. The trip was worth it though so I guess I can’t...

Tyler's feet
Okay, let me tell you a little something about the stench of the “trash juice” mixed with Tyler’s feet.
I am already disgusted by feet, so when asked to smell Tyler’s, I jokingly and nicely leaned my face toward the floor. In my innocence, I thought he would leave them planted firmly on the hardwood, but instead he lifted them toward my face so that my nose was about 4...
The Cloverfield Monster Attacks Wilson Ave.
There’s something living underneath our house. We don’t know what it is but based on sightings by multiple people, it has the looks and actions of a beaver.
It all started when we noticed that between our steps and the porch a hole was forming and loose rocks and dirt were piling up. Then last Tuesday, Dane saw something coming out from under the porch.
So Tuesday night, Mike and I...
"We can get drunk faster!"
A compilation of Jessica quotes after her “two drink” limit Friday night:
“I thought we were going swimming” (while walking around pantless and with just her swim suit on.)
“My crack is out”
“Dub you’re spilling” (x 5123098)
“The Satyr is hungry so I’m going to drink more. I want to get lost in Narnia!”
“My ass is...
“Is it still vaping?!”.”

Another reason for her to hate redheaded children (specifically boys)
As I sit at Kaldis (ty and I joined nunez), we begin to hear an alarming sound. It’s a cross between a monkey and screeching car tires. We turn to look, and a little redheaded boy of about 3 years is prancing around, holding his mother’s hand. (Surely she is already pissed that she birthed a boy with red hair). We...
Chapter 1: Beginning Chapter 4
The first 3/4 of our undergraduate careers have been completed, and just as those fleeting experiences came and went in an instant, so, too, has the summer season whisked by.
It’s June 22nd, and I still feel like I’m settling into the summer! I’m also approximately 1.5 months away from my Hong Kong endeavor; the reality of the experiment is still pretty abstract to me —...
rub a dub dub... 5 people in the tub
The night began at the guy’s place, where we enjoyed some trops and Chelsea enjoyed an eclectic variety of beers she pulled out of her plastic goody bag.
We decided to go to dub’s to swim in the pool, which always ends up being a bad idea. We get to dub’s and as everyone is getting out of the car, we all realized I was the only one in a swimsuit/ the only one pants-less....
This Blog is Pathetic . . . for now.
I apologize for this blog. It sucks. I wanted to make this post in hopes to help revive it.
Here are some revelations I have made over the past few weeks.
I am lame and am in need of a hobby. During the week all I do is eat (occassionally drink but we’ll get to that in a minute), sleep and work. I need something to do besides these three (or four) things. I am thinking I need to start running...
Minor in Missouri
…was going to be the name of my blog, but I got tired of going to 342835 blogs to find out what everyone is doing. therefore, I am collaborating with tyler. plus, this way it will look like we have tons to talk about while here in this now ghost town.
Things I’ve learned in the past 24 hours of being back on Wilson:
Tyler + grills = dangerous idea
Dub lies. we need to get him a compass for our...
Echoes
I returned home to Wilson Ave this past Monday to an empty yet semi-clean house. I spent the prior week in Chapel Hill, North Carolina training with over 700 other college students for my internship this summer with University Directories. The week was intense yet incredibly fun. Our days consisted of waking up at 6:30 am, training and working til about 10 pm and then going out to the bars on the...
