How to Make the Most Feared Taco Bell Order in Northwest Ohio
(Originally written some time in early 2002 as a “How To” paper for Comp 101. It amuses me now that I spend a fair bit of time writing how-to documents for work.) Like any other restaurant, the food prepares of Taco Bell must learn certain abbreviations that mean the names of products and their alterations….

Esben’s Tales part 2
The next morning young Esben found his throat aching from all the talking he’d done the day before. He ate and drank in silence for the day until the Meddyg’s promised visit came. She brought with her this time another ofyddian dressed in armor and armed with a sword. He stood a foot higher than…
Esben’s Tales Part 1
Esben regarded his past as a series of trials to achieve his ultimate goal of never having to lift a finger for himself again. Having finally succeeded at this goal, he found he had far too little to do and spent most of his time regarding his past adventures. He found it much more fun…
BIT.TRIP RUNNER
A few years back when Jorenko and I still had the dream of making video games, we came up with the concept of making a music-based platformer that, if you did everything exactly right in the run through, you got a great song by the end of it. Of course, we gave up on that…
Ibis’s Flight, part 2
We’d walked for some time in silence through the cave below my home. The only light was from the two small gems Magistrate Cefin and I wore around our necks. They were each smaller that a little finger nail, but they emit enough light to show us a ten foot radius of our surroundings. Cefin…
Ibis’s Flight part 1
Consider this a rough draft. Feel free to let me know if I did anything stupid. The woman tapped her forehead with two fingers on her right hand. The man furled his brow as he thought about what that might mean. Meanwhile, I watched. “Why do you keep asking me these questions?” the woman asked,…
Allcare Dental
I decided to call Allcare again to try and get things taken care of since 1) the voicemails I left 04-22 were never acknowledge by way of returning my call and 2) the email I sent never received a response. So today, I left a voicemail for their billing department again. I then called the…
Allcare Dental
Allcare dental sent me a bill claiming it’s over 90 days old(which it would be, since we haven’t been there since last July). However, everything (exam and cleaning for two adults, no fluoride) was covered by our insurance, and this is the first I’ve heard of us owing them anything. I called their billing number. I’m…
Oh, you impressionists.
Concerning yourselves with how you paint rather than what!

Worst. Essay. Ever.
Before reading this I feel it is important to understand the context under which it was written. This is an Art History class for non-art majors, focusing on the renaissance through cubism. This is for exam two. The class is two hours long, and the first portion of the test is fill-in-the-blank coupled with viewing…
Bye Bye Dagwood
We got Dagwood a year ago. He was previously owned by a crazy cat hoarder that lost her home. All the cats were put up for adoption and he was lucky enough to be adopted by couple in North Royalton. They found that this adult cat was not compatible with their golden retriever and advertised…
(Modified) Lyrics to a TMBG song.
OLDER: I’m older than I’ve ever been. And now I’m even older. And now I’m even older. And now I’m even older. I’m older than I’ve ever been. And now I’m even older. And now I’m older still. TIME! Is marching on. And time.. is still marching on. This day will soon be at an…
New Music
Today we finally spent a Best Buy gift card from my parents. It was originally for a USB turntable, but I could never find a decent deal for one from Best Buy so we bought games and music instead. Games: Pikmin for Wii Spirit Tracks for DS Music: White Stripes – Icky Thump White Stripes…
