I’ve seen my first end of the year compilation of silly AP items! Ah, reinforcement of my thesis that everyone in the universe is completely fucking insane…and that a couple of ’em might even be crazier than me!

I hate spicy food. I’m inclined to think it doens’t like me much, either. When I eat spicy food (and what to me is “spicy,” to most people is “kinda spicy,” and to anyone in most of Asia is “ridiculously bland”), it’s no good. It sets my mouth on fire and then decides to pretend ...

When you get down to it, skiing is a really bizarre sport. The old “explain this to someone who’s never heard of it” test confirms this: “Okay, so what you do. You put what are essentially highly modified, fiberglass barrel staves on your feet. Well, not directly. You also wear extremely uncomfortable boots that make ...

I promise my diatribe on the inherent insanity of skiing will be forthcoming once I’ve skiied again. Like I said, I took today off cause I still felt kinda crappy, and obviously I took yesterday off since I felt like total shit. However, I am going tomorrow, come hell, high water, or the predicted 1-3 ...

I really like the Washington Post’s “Under 30” advice columnist, Carolyn Hax. Her advice, while theoretically geared toward the young, is really funny and quite applicable to everyone. She had a gem earlier this week when she was asked by a man who felt “boyfriend” and “girlfriend” were too immature for him what appropriate other ...

Sorry I haven’t posted for a couple of days, the little cold bug I’ve been fighting off for the last couple weeks came back to bite me squarely in the ass once it realized I was relaxing, and I felt like garbage yesterday. Plus, I went and saw the late show of Lord of the ...

I really love IMing with drunk people: (anonymous): you graduated from NU (anonymous): that is a huge acomopsiuhment (anonymous): DNT EVER FORGET TIT Don’t worry, I never forget tit.

You know, I tried to type a bunch of this shit yesterday, and what happens? The second I try to post, Blogger crashed AOL, eating the post and severing my connection. Figures. Anyway, I have finally managed to make it out to Idaho in one piece, only taking five days and 1900 miles of driving. ...

I made it into Salt Lake City yesterday, after a tour of the fabulous flatness that is most of Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska, and the ear-popping joy of driving over multiple mountain ranges in Wyoming and Utah. It’s an entertaining little drive (ok, not so little…more like 1400 miles…), a vast amount of nothingness interrupted ...

I’ll be off having a Kerouac-style adventure and/or trying not to slide into a snowbank for the next three weeks or so, so posts here are about to get random and sporadic. I’ll be driving from here to Salt Lake City starting tomorrow morning, then picking up my dad to go skiing in Sun Valley, ...
