About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Minnesota

It’s nice to just send something out into space, so much more vague and abstract (and pleasantly so) than having my thoughts in print, right there, in black and white. Blogs are on the web, which is some ephemeral technology that I don’t fully understand anyway, and can’t really comprehend in the same way that I can’t really comprehend a billion dollars. Meaningless. Therefore I write all kinds of things that I probably would never say or write in real life, because it tickles me and it doesn’t really do any harm anyway because in a few days the entry will be buried in the archives and the three people that have read it will be busy with other things.

The Sign of the Devil

13 Applications, costing a total of

$666 in Application Fees

This does not bode well.

i just wanted to make sure that i will never have to do this again!

Would you have prefered $777??

Didn't think so. Anyway, who knows...666 could be your lucky number. :P
