It only took two bike rides (to a hardware store for a wee tiny screwdriver and to a music shop for a mini to RCA patch cord) and two calls to Crutchfield (one to figure out how to get my car into low gear when it’s not running so I could get the stereo out ...

I’ve wanted to replace the head unit in my car for a while, but I recently actually went into the process of pricing things out. While doing so, I got convinced by Crutchfield that, with their spiffy instructions, I could do it myself. Seemed like a good idea, since nobody in my area sold the ...

Remember how I was bitching about being really sick when I was in Kansas City? Turns out that could have been a good thing. Someone brought their child, who had a lovely stomach virus, to the Bat Mitzvah, and subsequently almost everyone else who attended it has come down with the same virus. My dad, ...

On my way home from a friend’s barbecue, where I met a very cute and very nice girl who very nicely shot me down, my iPod decided to mock we with the following playlist: The Temptations – Can’t Get Next To You Jeff Buckley – Last Goodbye Radiohead – Idioteque Violent Femmes – Kiss Off ...

Otherwise you end up like me right now, coughing ...

I’m going to be in Kansas City for my stepniece’s bat mitzvah this weekend. I’ll be back Sunday if I don’t die of boredom. I’m afraid you’ll have to entertain yourselves until then.

Bill Gates wishes he wasn’t so rich. You know, I think I know a couple of people who’d be happy to take some of that money off his hands.

Ok, so, I’m thinking about moving. It may not be for a while since theoretically my lease runs through September (although I think my landlord would love to rent my place out for way more than I’m paying for it, so I suspect I might be able to persuade them to let me out early). ...

Laz and Christin, you got in under the wire, and I am indeed happy for you. But I’m drawing a line in the sand. Right here, right now. The rest of y’all, STOP GETTING MARRIED AND HAVING CHILDREN. Too many people I know are marrying and reproducing, and my brain cannot handle the levels of ...
