  • (Check out the latest Picture[s] of the Week at http://newsuburb2.tripod.com/picofweek.) I went to the National Zoo today to indulge my brother, who wanted to see the not-so-horny pandas, and my mother, who after traips…

  • For the moment I'm putting away the Big College Decision and coming up with another: The Big Point-of-View Decision. I've been working on That Novel I've Been Working On since last August (August 2, 2004, to be exact), a…

  • (Check out My Trip to Boston on http://newsuburb.tripod.com/boston.) I HAVE RETURNED! I would have updated while I was in Boston, and I should have because our hotel (the Hampton Inn Boston Crosstown Center, located adj…

  • Tomorrow my mother and I are leaving for Boston. We're going to visit Northeastern, go on a tour, speak to the dean of the School of Architecture, George Thrush. He called me on . . . Wednesday, I think, right before I l…

  • In other news: life is unremarkable, as usual. Those pesky teenage hormones are kicking up again and there are times when I am overwhelmed with a desire to cuddle with somebody. ("Cuddle" is, ahem, not the actual word I …

  • In front of me there's this giant deafening wall of silence. Nothing there, nothing much to look forward to in the near future: Just silence. I spent Saturday riding around Columbia, going to strip malls and travelling o…

  • "That Novel I've Been Working On" Word Count as of 6:38 PM Eastern Standard Time: 70,695 words, or 174 pages. I'll let you know when the publishing date is . . . as soon as I hobble together an ending. (Let's say all of …

  • I went to the doctor on Friday and he said I have this virus-thing that I can't pronounce and basically gave me an excuse to sit on my butt all weekend. I couldn't kidnap Gili for his surprise party yesterday, but on the…

  • I nearly fainted today. I've had this nasty chest cold. I think I got it from this kid in the orthodontist's office last week who was coughing a lot but wouldn't cover his damn mouth. My mother thinks I'm sick from a br…

  • (This entry is accompanied by a brief photo montage, which you can see at http://newsuburb.tripod.com/picofweek.) Six years ago I thought it would be a "neat" idea to save the Friday Home Guides I got every week at Gian…

  • I expected to get a lot of writing done for "That Novel . . ." or "Prodigy" this weekend, but I couldn't. It's not, like, writer's block or anything . . . it's just, I can't write. I'll think of an idea right before I wa…

  • (Now Listening to: "Different" by Acceptance. Another piano ballad. My way of coping with the fact I gave up the piano in fifth grade and never went back.) Today I went to the orthodontist to get my braces tightened. Su…

  • March has been very quiet. I'm scared! February was very, very busy, and now I'm wondering what's going to happen next. What's the "next big thing" for me? But of course I'm not going to find the "next big thing" until a…

  • Ah, yes. I'm doing my Calculus homework now, which is certainly a miracle. Yesterday I had to finish Invisible Man for Literature, but I had the common sense to pass up reading that to instead spend the afternoon writing…
