Interesting

I was at camp five years ago, and they filmed a reality show for the Disney Channel called Bug Juice. I was poking around on the internet and found out what the production company that prodcued that series is doing now: Gay Weddings. I hope, at least for the guys’ sake, they still have Stacey, ...

Beware: Drunken Posting

Ok, hope I at least got the HTML right, because there will surely be spelling errors. I’m rather wasted right now, courtesy of Victor Limjoco, who was giving a going-away party for himself earlier this evening (as he is going to London for a quarter) at which I decided it would be a brilliant idea ...

Annoyance

Ok, this is pissing me off. I have a mosquito bite on my earlobe. It hurts and itches to all hell and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. The thing is, I usually get mosquito bites in pairs, so I’m just waiting for the second bump to show up in my ear ...

El delays, soft-core and cold medicine

Today was a really odd day. It took me twice as long to get to work as it normally does because the subway on the red line is, for some reason, incapable of running when it rains really hard. So the wonderful people of the Chicago Transit Authority rerouted all the red line trains onto ...

The fine art of navel-gazing

Nothing horribly important today, just an article I found on Obscure Store which purports to be about non-A-list weblogs, then proceeds to talk about the most popular weblogs for half the article. At least it’s different than most of the articles I’ve read about this wondrous little phenomenon in that it at least acknowledges that ...

And another thing…

Walking back from Blockbuster after the game, my cousin Mark and I passed three young men. “Are those three guys tied together with caution tape?” I asked. “Yup,” replied my verbose cousin. Just when you think you’ve seen everything, three guys tied together with caution tape walk down the opposite side of the street, and ...

Go, U Northwestern…

Riding the El to the White Sox game tonight, I saw an ad for a study that Northwestern’s Med school is doing on Crohn’s disease and some form of colitis. The text included the following nugget: “Over one million Americans suffer from theses symptoms.” Clearly, not written by Medilldos.

I live in Chicago.

Some days I am so glad I don’t live at home anymore. My mom, who has had quite a long fixation on one Mr. Elvis Aaron Presley, had a dinner the other night to mark the 25th anniversary of his passing. Grace consisted of “Dear god…thankyaverymuch.” Dinner was stromboli, prepared by my cousin Victoria, whose ...

Quick Summary

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. ...

Cooper officially has lost it

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!
