anthropology

By jim | Published: April 30, 2003
Okay. I’m only going to get into this briefly because it’s a shitstorm waiting to happen and I don’t feel like wearing out my delete key when the email starts flooding in, but here goes. For those of you who have previously insisted that life is somehow more “interesting” without gender roles, and that to [...]

past gender

By jim | Published: April 29, 2003
Okay, theres another question. Why would anyone want to get past gender? I think that in large part, stereo types are stereotypes because they contain a grain of truth. Whether it’s a flattering truth or not is another matter, but they are probably at least some true to some degree or it wouldn’t be any [...]

Beat it

By jim | Published: April 28, 2003
One thing I really like to do is yell “BEAT IT” at people. A girl asked me for a light as I was cleaning up my gear after I got done playing. “Beat it!” I said, but I gave her a light anyway. Then I repeatedly yelled “BEAT IT” at the bar in general because [...]

she’s made of sunshine

By jim | Published: April 22, 2003
Frog and I had been at it all day. When I got home at about 6am, he was elbows deep in the Chevy 350 powerplant of Walter’s 1980 Suburban which had overheated the night before. It was one of the three cars which had failed me on the way to work. We got a new [...]

car trouble

By jim | Published: April 16, 2003
Tonight I left the house to go to work. I was driving along, happy as could be. I had the stereo up, windows down, singing along at the top of my lungs. So I’m driving on the interstate through the north end of town there, and there’s a big slowdown on the interstate. Some poor [...]

ionic breeze

By jim | Published: April 16, 2003
Well, I’m not one for product endorsements, and I don’t really know how effective the thing is, but I can say that I took the ionic breeze quadra we have here at work outside and held a cigarette up to it and it made the smoke disappear. So, it doesn’t do nothing, but I can’t [...]

Well, I’m happy to report that I not only survived a three hour wait at the DMV, but I got my license back. Yippee!

office speed

By jim | Published: April 13, 2003
Something I’ve noticed about high rates of speed is that they are mostly an illusion. If you are doing 100mph in a brand new Porsche, it’s so smooth you can’t really even tell you’re going that fast. However, if you’re doing 5 miles an hour around an office on a bmx bike while trying to [...]

Time of day

By jim | Published: April 10, 2003
As I was getting on the train to go home last night, there was a group of four quite giggly girls getting off it. They bustled off the train, laughing at one another. I stowed my bike in the little wheelchair stall and belted it in so it wouldn’t roll out and crack someone in [...]
