My cousin Mark is in town and there is much going on, but I’ll give a brief summary: 1. One of the funniest things you can hear: An anti-drunk driving jingle from 1984, immediately followed by a Coors Light jingle from the same year, on the same tape. 2. You can’t spell schmooze without ooze. ...

I think the bizarro shifts they’ve got him on at CNN.com have finally gotten to him. Evidence: His take on the story of Elisa and Ray, the couple whose wedding I attended this weekend. Delighfully fact-free!

I brought a couple of glasses back from The Dome, the cocktail lounge that sits atop Reunion Tower in Dallas. That’s the big thing that looks like a gigantic golf ball on an oversized tee. It gets lit up at night. Anyway, we went there for drinks a couple of times, and I got a ...

There ain’t nothin’ in the world like a Texas wedding. I went to my friend Elisa’s wedding in Dallas this past weekend, and I had a fantastic time. It was incredibly weird watching one of my best friends from college get married at the ripe old age of 22, but since a large number of ...

My mom bought a condo. This really would not be an earth-shattering development, since she’s living in a house that’s a pain in the ass to take care of and is way, way too big for just her. Except it’s the house I grew up in. I never seriously thought she’d move. She’s been bitching ...

My apartment is empty. I mean really empty. My subletters are all gone, and the first of my roommates for the year is moving in this weekend, while I’m in Dallas for my friend Elisa‘s wedding. No cats, no dogs, no birds. I see the odd bug wandering about, specifically a very fast centipede who ...

I went and saw Beth Orton tuesday night, and she was excellent. The crowd for the show was really weird. She has a very odd blend of styles, which brings in a really weird mix of audience. She is known for her work with the Chemical Brothers and her first album was what drove her ...

Yeah, so at least this one will have a post time of the mid-afternoon because I’m in the process of calling every cable network in the United States to try and get some sort of guidelines on how to submit programming. Responses have ranged from the standard “We don’t accept unsolicited programming” to names and ...

My mom bought a condo and is going to sell the house I grew up in. Details to follow when I’m less exhausted.
