  1. Work Work Work

    Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 1:00 PM 0 Comments

    I have a new master plan for this upcoming year! I'm re-taking the GRE one last time in November. If I do well on that it ups my chances at getting into a grad school. I'm applying to UT, UNT, UTSA, University of Washington, University of Oregon and University of Chicago. Hopefully one of these programs will accept me. If not, I'm going to move back to Austin and work on getting...

  3. Thoughts on Writing

    A friend-of-a-friend posted this link on his Twitter, “How to Make a Moleskine PDA - http://tinyurl.com/dzj7u4” . I’ve been a big fan of Moleskine since high school. My generation might be the last to not have laptops mandatory for every student, and I still have old notebooks that have story notes/outlines in between algebra problems and history notes. So I have very fond memories...

  4. Project ADD

    Is there such thing as project ADD? Cause if there is I think I have it. I start a lot of projects, get it rolling then move on to the next one. Some times this method of work makes some things fall to the way-side. NerdBoy Comics, is currently on hiatus till we get issue two squared away. I'll post the last few pages of ZC as I get them then it's re-group time! This is mainly due to...

  5. MFing District 9

    I know I was a little late getting to see District 9, lack of money will do that, but it was completely worth it. as you might know there are several different kinds of "nerd" or "dork". Most people start out as kids falling in love with Transformers, Power Rangers, comic books, the Sunday comics, or maybe just general things like science. As a kid I read a lot of comic strips like Fox Trot,...

  6. Hey guys. As you can tell I get really bored at my day job, so I'll be posting a LOT of random stuff here. Hopefully some of it you will find interesting. Maybe interesting enough to reply to. I put in requests to get me and the boys press passes so we can truly cover all the glory that will be FFFF this year. I hope to make it to the 10,000 points marker to get me and my boyfriend...

    Anyone else out there going to ACL? My mom bought me and my brother passes for Christmas last year. We're both pretty excited, although from what I hear it's not as great as it has been in the past. The band I'm most looking forward to is The Decemberists, I never seen them in concert!

    So Ben Folds is going to be in Dallas Sept 30th. I want to go soooooo bad! He's by far on of my most favorite artists ever, but tickets are really expensive plus the costs of hotel room, food, gas...ugh. Having no money sucks.

  10. TEXODOUS: A Perspective

    Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 11:28 AM 0 Comments

    As Chas Tenenbaum would say, It’s been a rough year, Dad. What with KTXT being pulled out from under us, and all. But the independent (read: good) music scene in Lubbock has arguably only grown stronger since that fateful day (the day the music died, again), united in our never-ending hunt and hunger for worthwhile music, our desire to neither sit at home on Friday nights nor go swing dancing...
