In response to my super lengthy complaint letter to Six Flags Magic Mountain, I received the following letter from the park’s Senior Guest Relations Supervisor: Dear Kevin, Thank you for taking the time to forward your comments about the Ride Lockers and our Loose Article Policy.

Letter of Complaint to Six Flags Magic Mountain
Mr. B., My name is Kevin Z, and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. My girlfriend and I went to a lot of trouble on the weekend of August 15, 2009 to drive down to Valencia to visit Magic Mountain. A one-way car trip takes a little under five hours from where we…
Heroes – Season Suck
Guest Contribution by Zhenia Reprincev Heroes is back, and with a vengeance! The new storyline will be riveting, the action scenes thick with excitement, and more villains galore! ‘Tis the release of Season Three: VILLAINS! The TV show “Heroes” is perhaps one of the most widely-known programs on national television, especially after its sharp rise…
Getting the Word Out
During the spring of 2008, my local library held a massive book sale. Hundreds of books were spread out in the courtyard by the rear entrance, on sale for as many as you could fit into a grocery-sized paper bag for five dollars. Among this bounty of undervalued books, I found and purchased an old,…
All But Forgotten
After embarking on a four-month odyssey that began in the suburbs of Akron, Ohio, and which ended atop the highest peaks of the Nepali Himalayas, I can confirm that Diet Dr. Pepper does, in fact, taste more like Dr. Pepper than regular Dr. Pepper. How they pulled this off, the constituents of our generation may…
The Office Newbie
You know you spend too much time on the internet when you make a mistake at work, and you spend the rest of the day dreading that your boss will descend upon your desk and scream, “What the hell, you fucking n00b?” I shit you not. Those are the kinds of thoughts that I’m forced…
This Blogger’s Gone Living
Lack of creation does not necessarily indicate a lack of inspiration. Silence sucks, I know. But don’t you think for a second that KZ went and fell off. Please continue to believe, however, that KZ is a total asshole for not taking the time to read the meticulous updates on all of your respective blogs,…
School’s Out, Kids
My apologies for not establishing a stronger online presence this summer. I’ve been going through a large transitional period (to say the least). But I’m back now, and I’m happy to report that I haven’t run out of ideas yet. But more importantly, I wanted to let you all know that I finally have a…
A Bit Like You and Me
It’s so hard to stay motivated. I’m getting frustrated with the repetitive grind that is law school. This is only week two. Well, it’s week two of semester two, but the previous sentence had far more dramatic effect than this current one could ever hope to muster. I’m just tired. Normally, I’m not the type…
Privileged Student Blues
This is my first week back into the law school rut, and already I’m resenting the whole experience. Perhaps my petulant inner child is just prone to griping. After all, a month’s worth of vacation is enough to spoil even the most diligent students. And I think it’s safe to say that I’m not the…
