(This post/lament was written while waiting at Bradley Airport, earlier today)
So. Here I am at Bradley, Gate 4. As far as I can tell, I arrived here just as a flight to Baltimore/Fort Meyers boarded, so I managed to score one of these ultimately plush leather arm chairs with built in power outlets. The only [...]

Travel tip #247: Don’t give the Fates any ideas. They don’t need your help.

Several months ago, I concocted a thought concerning my car. Several of you out there know my car fairly well, so can imagine what kind of “thinking” I was engaging in. For those of you who don’t know my car – well, here’s a quick… laundry list.

Inaugural?

Posted by Jayml on May 31, 2009 at 6:43 pm | Filled Under: Blog, New England| 4 comments

So, after much painful experimentation with PHP and CSS involving copious amounts of trial and error, I think I can officially call the new version of my site (www.rah-kun.net) “live.” It’s got a bunch of nifty things – an automated livejournal cross-poster that directs all-y’alls to my site to comment and stuff. There are also [...]

Travl Jurnl #I already forgot: Wherein my brain steps on its own tail.

Posted by Jayml on May 27, 2009 at 11:21 pm | Filled Under: New England, Travelogue| 4 comments

I am fairly exhausted. It’s not so much the amount of things that I’ve needed to do over the last couple of weeks – indeed, Plan was far in excess in terms of gross workload – but more the sheer diversity of issues I’ve had to keep track of all at once. I’ve already mentioned [...]

Jrnl #2 : On Reverse Karma; Pre-Prep-Preparations

Posted by Jayml on May 24, 2009 at 1:04 am | Filled Under: New England, Travelogue| 5 comments

A thought struck me today, as one might strike a person who believes a great deal both in karma and in the value of contemplating the nature of one’s existence. The thought was this: why has the last five months of my life sucked?* So it occurred to me that, perhaps, these last five months [...]

Travel Journal #1: Baby Steps

Posted by Jayml on May 19, 2009 at 12:07 am | Filled Under: New England, Travelogue| 3 comments

Ooh, I’ve gone all official with the numbering and titling. I suspect that my foray into New York City today (in this post-baccalaureate phase of my life) to procure the visa that will ultimately grant me access to the wide, unknown future of China that awaits me counts as well as (if not better than) [...]

Internet in absentia

Posted by Jayml on May 8, 2009 at 12:32 pm | Filled Under: New England, Travelogue| 8 comments

Man, either I’m paying off something bad I did a while back, or I’m paying off some karmic principle to improve my extended-metaphor credit score. My internet at home is out – something funny is happening in the wiring in my house (which my Dad denies, but… with breakers flipping left and right…)
So. Without internet, [...]

Travel Journal #-1: Weekend Cockup Digest

Posted by Jayml on April 27, 2009 at 10:38 pm | Filled Under: New England, Travelogue| 1 comment

Yechm, just fixed my car. Again.
This weekend’s excursion to Marlboro began with my serpentine belt snapping mere moments after I arrived on campus. Those who know my car and my track record with the 91 corridor should not be surprised – between the ball joints breaking (twice), alternator dying, and my brakes tending towards the [...]
