The Decision

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 30, 2003 ⋅ 2 comments

It’s my last day at work, and I’m reasonably excited. Two and a half months ago, I decided to make my two-week graduation present (a trip to Ireland) into a permanent stay. I had been on track to enter graduate school, but my heart really wasn’t in it. When I received news of my impending [...]

Transitions

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 30, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

I write. I am a writer. And I fear the inevitable. If you’re a writer, you know exactly what I’m talking about. I’ve hit a minor slump, but I’m not sure it’s because of the natural course of things. I’m stuck at that horrible transition known as graduation. Terrible because of the tasks to accomplish [...]

The comments are now back up and running! I’m working on a custom template to match my current scheme, but the default one will do for now.

Kafka and Capitalism: 20th Century Anxiety

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 29, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

Franz Kafka is almost single-handedly responsible for political and economic anxiety of the 20th and 21st centuries. His visions of darkly disturbing, yet hauntingly familiar ground, coated with the bleakness of his own life, become the nurturing bed of an all-too-prescient reality. With a flair for describing the mechanistic reality of the day, Kafka explores [...]

Michael Moore: Fictitious Filmmaker

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 29, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

Feel free to check this site out to be reminded of just how much of a liar Michael Moore is. The fact that the Academy awarded him an Oscar for best documentary just cheapens the whole genre.

Fringe is Back!

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 29, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

And in case you didn’t know, fringe is back! If you experience broken links or screwed up pages, please give me time to fix them – I know they’re there, but Rome wasn’t rebuilt in a day either. I will be posting an essay in a bit (not politically current, but EXPLOSIVE! nonetheless), and more [...]

10 Things I Won’t Miss When I Go To Ireland

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 29, 2003 ⋅ One comment

1. Petie forever talking about the latest girl he thought about asking out, always self-deprecating and laughing at his little foibles in the dating game. 2. Chris forever whining about how stupid he is and how his “anti-serendipity field” is especially strong today. 3. Classes with professors who continually surprise me in their utter contempt [...]

Comments and Time

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 29, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

Comment templates have been completed. I may go back and tweak them later, but for now I’m fairly happy with them. I also fixed a time posting problem – it had to do with my server getting changed to a new timezone. Should be all better now!

Booyah!!!

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 22, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

I tried to post this Friday night, but was prevented from doing so. Late, but delicious even so, is my note to CBS regarding the recently aired Susan Sarandon tv movie “Ice Bound”. I’m proud and happy to say that the movie tanked in the ratings, due in part to an overwhelming 40% of viewing [...]

A Few Random Sidenotes

By jelewis8 ⋅ April 22, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s nearly 12:30 and hot as blazing saddles in my room. This week I’m going to try some different approaches to blogging. Just on a whim, I’ve decided to do a “5 minute rant” on the first subject I think of cogently in the morning. Starting tomorrow. I promise. What’s really sad is that I [...]
