A New Retaining Wall
I received an email today:
Hey John
I have attached the sketch, If there is anything else I can do let me know.
Thank you,
Clint
To the best of my knowledge, I’m not in the market for retaining walls for my apartment, but I replied anyway, in my characteristic style. I await his response with baited breath.
Ups and Downs of Doodling
I haven’t posted the last batch of doodles because I don’t know that people really want to see a post with twenty insane drawings in it pop up amidst their feed reader. While on one hand I post entirely for my own benefit, I hate to grief those people who take it upon themselves to follow my meandering rambles. That said, there is doodle news — no, I didn’t win a weekly thing or get posted in the Weisman, but I did get an email:
[We] were wondering if you would be interested in doing an
illustration for one of the stories for the finals issue… it would be
about Bruininks.. more information to follow if you are so inclined.

It’s the Regent’s Scholarship’s Fault
I called Onestop and managed to keep from any sort of histrionics. Their verdict was that I got boned, and it was the mistake of Onestop/financial aid, with the caveat that I “applied for the Regent’s Scholarship late.” Right. They couldn’t figure that stuff out in time for spring semester or any time sooner in the nine months since I received money last fall. As a result, I won’t be taking any classes this summer. I might, however, take classes that I can transfer back to the U. I don’t know, but I’m still livid over the misinformation.

I understand that borrowing this money was not completely necessary, and that I would have been responsible for paying back the (not insignificant) amounts at one point or another. I haven’t spent it all, either. I tell you what, though, without that great big padding, I wouldn’t have made it through this year of classes. One big push. Just do it, and damn the torpedos.
Chinatown and Ocean Beach
é‹è²¼: possibly the best food on earth. Oh, you don’t read Chinese? Please allow me to translate: “Pot sticker.” Yes.

And So It Begins
By “it,” I mean “the deluge of photos.” I will do my best not to overwhelm you.
Step one: the backlog. When I leave Minnesota, I will miss Pizza Luce. Sarah and I go regularly.

Make With the New Server
Dear Mediatemple who is not hosting most of my service any more,
I realize that this is a difficult breakup and that you still have some of my stuff, but I hope that we can be friends in the future. Just don’t lie to me or trash talk my friends and we’re cool in my book.
With love always,
Jesse
I’m Going Back to Mupples
We will be flying back to Minneapolis tomorrow morning. I find this most displeasing.
What the?
Dear Mediatemple who went to the bar with me last night,
I think that you know where this post is going, so I will leave the completion up to you.
With love,
Jesse
