Good weather can really make all the difference between a good day and a bad one. I’ve been out begging for jobs for the last couple of days, and having my usual rate of near total failure, but I haven’t been as depressed about it as normal. Why not? Because we’ve had a two-day preview ...

Eliina‘s discussion of the rash of Adult Things that seem to be sweeping my wider group of friends (engagements, marriages, real jobs, people moving in together) reminded me of something I wanted to post. Some days, I feel like I’m trapped in that Saturn commercial about Marriage. Go here and click on the “Wedding” one ...

So Friday night I went to see Melissa Ferrick at the Double Door, and it was one of the best and worst concerts I’ve ever been to at the same time. Best because of the performance. Melissa is always really awesome, but she just threw it into another gear Friday. I go to a shitload ...

My friend Adam Henkel was participating in the always-entertaining practice of self-Googling when he discovered the truth: He is actually a clone! Well, not really, but he found a guy with the same name, disturbingly similar looks, and the same bizarre fixation on showers (see: Henkel and Coop‘s Surround Shower). As the real Henkel would ...

Two people I know got jobs today. Eric, my friend and the former bar manager at the hideous bar I quit (hideousness totally unrelated to him, related to upper-level management having their heads inserted firmly up their asses) got a job today. So that made me a) happy, and b) realize people my age actually ...

Okay, I don’t know why I thought the reporter doing this report was Peter Arnett, since he got fired by CNN years ago. It was, in fact, Martin Savidge, whose name is even funnier given the circumstances. Courtesy of Coop, a picture of the stubborn Saddam statue mentioned previously.

I’m watching CNN, and a story they keep going back to is a group of Marines a CNN guy (I think Peter Arnett, but I’m not sure) is embedded with who are trying to take down yet another Saddam statue, but this one refuses to come down. They had tried tearing it down by chaining ...

One year ago today, I started this weblog, fully expecting to get sick of it within a few weeks and find some more useful way to waste my time. I don’t think I ever thought when I started this that it would last even three months, let alone a year. It’s strange that I’ve actually ...

I have finally caught up on every magazine I subscribe to. This is a far more impressive accomplishment than it initially sounds like. I started falling behind in my reading when I got a girlfriend, since really, what would you rather do, read a magazine or go out with your girlfriend? Tough decision. But she ...
